Tech Tip: Plastic Body Panel Repair (If You Dare)
Hey first gen fans, it's time to talk about one of the biggest issues with our favorite cars, the plastic body panels. I don't know about you, but if I didn't love these cars so much, I would avoid them like the plague because of this issue alone. I appreciate Honda's decision to keep the car light by using plastic body panels, but they weren't considering their enthusiasts 30 years down the road. The sad thing is, when most...

A Part With A Purpose
Now that I've completed my CRX tribute build, I've had the chance to just enjoy being an owner/driver.

Tech Tip: Mud Flap Refresh
Here is my first 'Tech Tip', the Mud Flap Refresh. We've all seen this problem on the first gen CRX, mud flaps that are sun-faded, covered in 30 years of caked dirt, and are covered in scuffs and gouges. Some flaps are just too far gone to really refresh, especially if the rubber is starting to crack, but most are savable. After a little trial and error, I found a good way to bring old mud flaps back to life, and here's how:

Taming the Dragon
I woke groggy and sleepy-eyed on Saturday morning because I had spent the night before painstakingly making sure everything on the car was perfect. I didn't want anything to go wrong. The big day had finally come... I was finally going to run the Tail of the Dragon!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Tail of the Dragon, also know as Deals Gap or simply The Dragon, is a mountain road that cuts through the center of Smoky...
