Probably one of the last things. Maybe after it's back on the road.

Il be sending it to powder coaters and having it redone in gloss black and probably getting some more padding.
How much is the powder coating going to cost if you dont mind me asking ?

As i need to get my cage done aswell.

Theres a place in Birmingham. He quoted my mate £90 to powder coat a full 6 point cage for a crx. Place is called City powder coating

I am going to beat you with my stick Gizmo.

There has been a small issue with rebuilding the engine up so it is going to take another week or 2 as i'm waiting on some bits from U.S.

Engine still with Daz, just making sure it is 100% before I have it back.

In the meantime, to keep this thread going I took the tyres off the TE37's, gave them a good wash and polish, removed the old tatty stickers and applied some new ones.

Also included in the picture is my 5th TE37, freshly powder coated white, exact same size as the rest of them (15x6.5 et35).

So I have a proper spare wheel not a silly space saver!!

Dont know what tyres i'm going for on these yet.

Image

I am amazed at the condition of these wheels, considering them are made in 1998 and the paint is all original, not a curbing in sight 8)

Image


Also, this is my bracing setup. Should handle well with this lot and the cage.

ASR 24mm ARB kit, adjustable drop links and ASR subframe brace. Energy D bushes as standard.

Image

Cusco front and rear strut braces, I prefer these to the round ones. The ends will be sent off to powdercoaters and redone in the closest blue to Cusco or maybe I might do them black?

A testament to their previous owner (Yasir), he certainly looked after them.

Cheers man, they are lovely the bronze ones. I wonder if they will look as good as the white ones on my car.

No, I have Function7 LCA's only.

They never did the Function7 brace when I bought this ASR. Ive had it for a few years now.
