Re: How to lose 700lbs
One of the flanges on my cat was almost gone so he fabbed up a test pipe.
Thing is raspy as hell now so I'm looking at some options to mellow it out some.

Re: How to lose 700lbs
you could add a resonator somewhere in the system or maybe just replace the muffler, sounds like its alot louder than when i put it on

Re: How to lose 700lbs
Got bored today so I painted the valve cover as a test to see what color I wanted to paint the cage.It's pretty close to Cusco blue.

Re: How to lose 700lbs
You may want to go with a flatter color for the parts of the cage that will be in the drivers view. You don't want the sun reflecting off the cage blinding you.

Re: How to lose 700lbs
Good point. I'll probably sand the A-pillars to cut the gloss

Re: How to lose 700lbs
Nice color. It is close the Cusco blue. You should pain the CRX that color!
I am always one for black pieces in the interior. I would say paint the cage a medium gloss black.
Now for some seats!!

Re: How to lose 700lbs
The process to get this color is a little beyond my ability to do a full car in. It's a candy over a glitter base. I was hoping to clean up the body and hit it with a single stage silver, something that hides defects lol.
Seats? I have one for myself but the passenger gets stuck with the stock Si seat lol.
