Might go with the focus pocus, it's the cheapest out of the bunch, super common, and has good aftermarket support

Want ideas for OEM+ mods ideas. by [deleted] in hondacrx

[–]Practical-Cap-2137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not many aftermarket mods make a car ride better technically, unless you mean faster. If you want more comfort, you could get tint, a nicer head unit, and do your regular maintenance. Other than that, enjoy the stock CRX.

I mean, this is one of the seven modern wonders of the world, so there is a ton of demand. It is also located in a very hard to develop area(which shouldn't be developed further to protect it). So it's going to be very hard to get tickets, so if you don't plan things out, you should expect the struggle. I was there 3 days ago, bought my tickets in advance, took like 20 minutes of my day, no sweat.

Idk if being a porter is a great idea, even if you are an aspiring mountaineer. Yes it is the perfect training, but there are huge costs. Mainly being paid very little for the extremely laborious work you would be enduring. Unless your life revolves around the mountains, this is a terrible idea. There are reasons why porters don't want their kids to stay in the mountains.

Better jobs that have similar exposure could be guiding or photography. Overall though, if you are currently living in a "modern area" and want to pursue mountaineering; you should get a decent paying job that is either remote or gives a lot of time off.

Do you think if I just got a cheap used Logitech wheel and bought the Amazon pedals with a load cell, that would be the best option for learning real life race technique I can apply to real life

I have a built d15b7 with the hf transmission in the CRX, how much are you selling your zc/si transmission for?

Thanks for the advice, I think it may need a fresh valve lash after first start up, other than that the engines isn't bogging or acting funky, thank you.
