heim joints do wear out, and I can understand them not wanting to absorb the cost, but they should have used the better quality heims from the start. He should absorb the cost on these. Hell he can deduct the cost on his taxes anyways.

I have a friend who is wiring this up, thing is he works for honda - so an electrical guy there is making a harness he can plug in line with the radio to power this, that way he wont have to splice into any connectors.

Freaking nice.

Do people normally wire those up to the front fog lights or seperate?
Ive only seen one crx with one of those , and it was lit up at all times.
I have mine, but it is a separate switch, right next to the front fog light switch.

I don't know if people with "non-replacement" engines means only US or if it includes JDM as well. So I'm still waiting on him to clear that up in the thread
If so I'm in the clear

That's awesome! I have a switch for mine, but haven't wired it up yet. Does it need a relay or anything? Should I run it through the fuse box at light the tail light fuse? Also, from the light harness I have with it, it doesn't look like it was ever wired for the fog light. Should I just splice into the power wire for it and run it to the switch. I seem to recall the switch having like 3 or 4 wires though...Any help would be appreciated.

The wiring at the injector clips doesn't matter. You using a resistor box? what kind of injectors are you using?

I went to put my a/c belt back on teh other day. Cranked the car up and turned it on and teh damn clutch doesn't kick in. My freon must have leaked out during the winter. That sucks. BTW: what a/c belt are you guys using? The one I have is TOO TIGHT. I think it's for the 91 crx. I think I tried a 91 teg before and it was too large...

easiest way to check for injectors firing is to pull them with the fuel rail off of the intake manifold and have some one crank the car over. You need to hold the injectors in the rail, but this works well. I've done it by myself before but I've also had an injector pop out while doing it alone before. Make sure to unplug your distributor when you do this. You are just looking for fuel to spray from the injectors.

I have my rear fog wired up. I used the oem rear defroster switch. There are two wires coming out of the fog light itself. Power and ground. I grounded the ground and ran the power wire up to the reardefroster switch. Use a voltmeter to find the switched 12v+ source on the defroster switch and that's the wire that you splice the positive fog wire into. I also took the oem rear fog switch I bought and put the cover onto the defroster switch. So now when I turn the rear fog on the rear defroster comes on also. But if you look at the switch it appears to be a fog switch.

anybody ever have an issue with an LS sway bar not fitting on a CRX with CRX LCAs and sway bar mounts? It seems like the bar is too short.
