Thus will begin my documentation of the project CRX. Bought for $640, not running.

It's been a pleasure interacting with all of you on here over the years, even if I haven't met you IRL. I'm going to be on social media less anyways, but this wretched site is too far gone for me to continue. I'll be sporadically posting over yonder, hope to see you there!

I found a wild @JayTheGryphon!

Got rid of the cheap seats and picked up what I wanted for a passenger seat in the first place: a Sparco R100! Snagged this for cheap WITH the slider!

Time for rear swaybar endlinks on the Prelude. The Moog ones I got started clunking within 1000 miles. Retorquing them didn't fix it. So on to Hardrace! These should be it, as good or better than OEM. They took 5 months to arrive, but they're made to order, so that's fine!

The used car lot that is our driveway has grown! We picked up a 1988 VW Cabriolet Boutique as my wife's project car. One owner, 128k miles, and got a great deal on it. It needs an alternator, but I got to drive it a bit with a battery jump pack on so I know it runs.

Got some new (to me) rubber recently! Toyo Proxes RR and unused Kumho V730's with TRMotorsport C1's. Only thing is the offset is +25 so they're more for VWs, so they poke a lil bit but not too much! (would've been happier with +35-42 but the price was right)

It's gonna be a good season. There isn't much to do to this car but drive it.

What do you do for a living? Over-simplified... I help with cattle contact tracing

First autocross of the season! Featuring: - cold - rain - sun - clouds - hail - snow The CRX kept pace with pretty much everything else, so I'm stoked for this season

Stay grounded 🙏 The clamping bolt for my ground wire has been stripped for a while, so I'm replacing it with a bolt-on cable so there's no chance of it ever coming loose!

Honestly rate your car out of 10… Performance: 3 Handling: 8 (and improving) Comfort: 3 Practicality: 3 Reliability: 9 Fun Factor: 11 Rarity: 9 Fuel Efficiency: 9

Got the CRX back under the knife for a new thermostat! The old one almost lost its inner seal, which would've been fun to clean out </s> Also the wife told me to send it and sticker the one mismatched fender, so I did

Forgot to mention that we had an excellent time at the @ProjectF_Club show at @anthronw! The Beetle, along with the Sprecher sodas (for Bavarian-ness) and cookies, were enjoyed by all. I was blown away by the turnout, next year's gonna be even better.

Goals for the Beetle before the @ProjectF_Club show at @anthronw: - oil change - install rear seat - install radio - tape up the many holes into the interior because with the sport exhaust header, there's no heat to the cabin

It's official! Say hello to Rhex! @GarolineArt did an AMAZING job and was just as amazing to work with.
