That crx is not my taste but the jdm front and the clean ass interior are a huge plus on that car. I finally got the right shim from honda for the Quaife Diff install. The clearance without the shim was 1.067mm and the spec is between .00 and .10 so I purchased a 1.00mm shim from honda, leaving me with .067 clearance. ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0433.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/0/400a41787c438a5bc3c0bcb061f1db064b868d15.jpeg) Installed ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0434.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/4/243e0f9bf52aa31af7277d1d53df319ef3c75c32.jpeg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0435.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/4/f489f1a816cf4aec0d59da167ddb2db3ac8be5b8.jpeg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0439.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/3/43169dfb1aaac37b573aa5d2dd100ef8e417b6ff.jpeg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0437.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/0/a020dae3289d2c2723c5729006ab76754723e456.jpeg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0438.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/c/7c67d0a04512f23893d59c8dd8ad490d0321daad.jpeg) I didnt put the case together on because I didnt pick up rtv or hondabond yet. ---

Got the case on the transmission today with fv8s, the input shaft spins perfectly as well as the diff with the new shim. I also cleaned it up alot. Im happy with it and I should be getting the engine off of the stand and get the clutch and trans bolted up ready for it to go in at the end of the month after the car is painted hopefully. ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0445.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0445.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0443.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0443.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0444.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0444.jpg) I ordered wheelbearings, inner/outer tie rods, and skunk 2 upper control arms so the suspension can also go right in after paint. This should go together pretty quick after I have the car in color. Waiting to get it painted and final prep work is really killing me right now. ---

Just dropped off the doors, fenders, hatch, sunroof panel, hood, and both bumpers to the guy painting my car. Hes working on those and the shell is going there in a week or two. Its costing me a little more than I wanted to spend but if anyone has seen how Pauls car at swerve came out you would want this guy to paint your car too. ---

Thanks man I put the rear suspension on yesterday as well as 90% of the front. Im waititng for the bushings to come in for my front lower control arms and then the car will be a full roller. After I get it full rolling Im going to put my car on my next door neighbors trailor (seth13). Then the car is going for paint. I took some pictures of the car in primer and the suspension. I forgot to take pictures of the rear before I put the wheels on but everything is blasted and painted with brand new everything. ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0488.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0488.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0491.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0491.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0490.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0490.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0486.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0486.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0489.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/IMAG0489.jpg) That will be all of the updates until I get the car back from paint.
