Every b series I've had has rubbed at least a little. My GSR rubs like crazy. Had to cut a lot of the webbing out. I'm using hasport mounts.

My hood rubs too with my B20vtec combo. I've even cut the webbing out and have the mad tight jdm hood prop. Still rubs a bit. Although a slight prop I might go a little more aggresive with it to see if bat will fix it. Hasport mounts btw...

Does anyone know of an AWD wagon for sale? A friend of mine is looking for one and will travel. I PMd Nick, but I don't know if he still has his.

Anyone ever done a DA rear disk swap on their hatch?

i remember reading up on what parts to use but now i cant reamember, can someone help me out;

From what i can remember, RTA bushing must be DA, control arm must be EF, and i think the upper arm/ camber arm is the same either da/ef? The only thing i cant remember is which compensator arm to use

can anyone clarify all the stuff i just said TIA

Yeah, I'm really just curious as to what bracket to use if I go the LS cable direction b/c I have no bracket right now.. I guess I could buy the Innovative bracket that they make and keep the stock cable.. but I'm not trying to wait for shipping.

With you rear disc question... Im 99% sure everything can stay stock, except obviously as you stated the RTA bushing is a little larger on the DA arm. I think you may need to change your e-brake cables as well to either 91 CRX Si or DA cables, not positive though. That may be just for non rear disc CRX models going DA rear discs.

Im sure someone will chime in soon enough to answer both of our questions..



NA- Im pretty sure a couple pages back it was still for sale, just without AC! Looks like a steal at the price he had.. If it was still around by the time I get to the other side of the country I hoped to pick it up. 4wd EF!

Got your PM. Thought I blew the motor week before last, but I blew an AC line. Mineral oil definitely smells different than motor oil. Oy.

It'll be for sale in about 2 weeks, but I've got two buddies here in CA in line first. Will keep you updated. Still runs like a champ, but it no longer has AC.

AND, it's rust free!

In '98 my great grandmother gave my sister her '82 civic wagon with only 24,000 miles on it. That thing was mint and she drove it through college until about '03 when she sold it.

good way to fill up those license plate holes!

So, I cant seem to find an OEM bracket for my b16 manifolds throttle cable.. disco'd from the dealer and unsure what other cars besides an obd 0 del sol would have that bracket.. any ideas?!

maybe the stock crx cable and that overpriced innovative bracket is the way to go..

my wife and i are splitting up and im no longer living in a place where i can store an engine, spare car, or do any swaps.

i'm willing to let the crx go to anyone else for $1600 if they pick it up before the weekend.
