The CRX was lowered on a set of Tokico progressives that i bought from TDI for about £300 odd. That was back in the day when jap cars were just getting interest. That car turned heads just because most people didn't know what they were.
I still wish i had it now.
Still wish I had mine, sort of. It was a fab little car.
Will Seb be buying you all one of these when he wins the championship?

Those Venoms were a no1 seller back in the 90's.
I hope he doesn't buy us all one, i couldn't justify the running costs of an S let alone a 4 litre odd yank tank.
I really don't know who buys these types of gas guzzling car when petrol costs as much as it does. I'm glad i only have a 1.3 engine now.

I was never one for trying to make a car look wrong. I still actually think the 17" wheels were a big look improvement to the pathetic 14" originals. The venoms were on style back then but I would have a nice set of Rays on it now.

Nah, 17" look better. Even though they spoilt the drivability something rotten. I was young and stupid then.
no wonder you work in the fabrication shop and not the aero or style departmentThe new civic looks like the old civic, pretty much ... old man springs to mind.

I though the originals were 15" - it's been a long time though...

You say that, but I suspect 24" rims would find their way onto your car...
I have to say the original 14" wheels look 'right' on the Civic in question; it's all about proportion. 14" wheels would look ridiculous on most of today's cars simply because they have become behemoths.
