Honda CR-X Ef8
Discussion
When I first picked it up. Battered and in need of some love wearing super rare AME Tracer wheels.....
After the body resto.....
Parked up for well earned break after the most perfect drive through the Swiss Alps on honeymoon
Still on honeymoon in Tuscany
Then a change of wheels and a day out at Santa Pod
On the strip
Refurbed rocker cover
Hello, who's this?!
New wheels and fogs
Well worn period Bride seat before retrim
And after
Another new set of wheels, Sparco NS2's in NATO Olive drab
282mm Prelude front brake upgrade
Integra Type R gearknob and new gaitor replaced as old ones worn
My daughter now slightly older showing me which car she likes best
Nice new shiny Greddy SP2 exhaust waiting to go on after lots of elbow grease and polish
Fitted
With Chris' (Beaniemoo) Clio
Outside work
Anyway that's it up to now, will post a few more pics when the sun comes out again.

Cheers guys.
It's got the standard B16a in at present with breathing and chassis mods, so is a pretty feisty little thing. As its a jap import its got a few extra's over the UK EE8 model like a/c, pas and central locking. It's also got a sunroof, which is pretty rare for an import so its not quite the bantam weight most are. (Its still chuffing light though)
Future plans this year are certainly an engine upgrade, and although the normal course of action is to B20 or B18c6 these, I'm quite tempted to go down the b16b route as I do love the noise they make when on song. I'm also looking to replace the remaining bushes that haven't been done in my ownership to tighten things back up again,, and a set of Raxles as the factory units are a weak point.
I'll update as I go along.

Hi Simon,
Just had a nice surprise seeing the car on here, I'm the guy you bought it from in Ampthill back in 2008. It's great to see what you've done with it, pretty much exactly as I would've done had I had the expertise you have! I still look back on the year I had it as my daily driver very fondly, a great little thing to blat to work in down the b-roads with that exhaust blaring off the hedgerows. In fact, in many ways it's still one of the most enjoyable cars I owned, the DC2 that followed was in every measurable way better but didn't have quite the same sense of fun. I particularly remember getting up on an August bank holiday morning and heading to North Wales in it to arrive by 8am, one of most enjoyable drives I've ever had, darting its way through Snowdonia and making full use of the top of the rev range.
Do keep the thread on here updated as you work on it and, dare I say, should you ever want to move it on I'd love to have first refusal.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi Nikko, yes that is the one and same Beanie from Saxperience, he's a good friend and one of the most passionate car nuts I've ever met. Very knowledgable guy and along with his brother is always trying to push boundaries on projects.
