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.

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

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.

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.

Good point. I'll probably sand the A-pillars to cut the gloss

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!!

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.
