        1994 was an exceptional year for the 10th anniversary of my CRX.
     That year, I had made many modifications to the car.  By the end of
     the summer, the car looked immortal.

        The exhaust system and brakes were improved.  A special glass-
    pack-style muffler replaced the OEM muffler and gave the car a
    throaty growl that roared at high speeds and gave the car a small
    horsepower boost by freeing up the airflow.  The brakes were
    replaced with discs and drums from the higher end CRX, the Si.

        The greatest improvisations to the car came in the electrical
    system.  Contained under the dash were three CB radios, a scanner,
    a 60 watt amp, a ultrasonic ranging system, two radar detectors, a
    detector jammer, a state police car siren outfit, a home-built
    wig-wag system, front, rear, and side auxillary lights, and a
    personally-designed control panel to distribute the electrical power
    to the places that needed it most.  The car looked like a Christmas
    tree inside at night, if not on the outside as well.  The siren unit
    had a painfully loud horn and an equally loud PA system.  I'm not a
    fire-fighter or a police officer, just an electrical engineering
    student.
 

       On the exterior of the car, a few details were added to make the
    car look extra sharp.  Custom painted wheel covers and two-tone
    mud flaps gave the car a roadster look.  The auxillary lights gave
    it an off-road vehicle look (which the car certainly adapted well
    to once the front spoiler came off.)
