don't use spats aft of the wheels - they add drag
if you want to do anything like that, they'd have to become streamlined fairings
and those won't work properly unless you put a full belly pan underneath the car first

rear diffuser angle is way too steep to be effective

if you want to do aeromods to the CRX, Phil's CRX is your guidance

fixed one problem and received another. Dash cluster is fixed and now the heater quit blowing warm air. that is a project for next weekend, flushing the heater core.

Subscribed. This should be interesting.

$12 in parts to drive it home, that's cool. It suggests that the PO simply got tired of it rather than it experiencing a significant failure.

I was playing around in paint and this is what I came up with

[elhigh]

See if you can get a lower picture that is about level with the window beltline, or else hunt around on Google for a perfect profile shot. That overhead angle is throwing off the aero overlay.

Welcome to the forum! Great platform for good MPG.

First Mod
Bought new tires but before putting them on I needed different wheels, I had three alum, and 1 steal on the car. so off to the scrap yard I went. as soon as I walked in, the fork lift (on steroids) was dropping an 85 civic, and on this civic was 4 original Honda wheels with center caps and beauty rings, so I gave the car a once over just to make Shure some kid didn't take the car off roading before taking it to the scrapyard, seems I was in luck so I took them home, mounted the tires with spoon bars (cheaper that way)and slapped them on, they ride grate. now for the mod, I took the beauty rings into my place of employment, (metal fab shop) cut out a few disks out of alum. Clamped the beauty rings to them and threw in a few stainless steal rivets and this is the end result

Not as flush with the wheel as I would have hoped but they should do the trick and they look better to

Looks good! What PSI are you running?

What's next on the list?

That exact year CRX is my fav...the bucket-headlight 1st gen. Great find and try not to butcher that amazing sheetmetal.
BTW, what was wrong with it?
