You have to cut some webbing out. Everybody using hasport mounts with a b18 in a crx has the same issue...

I've also heard of hood clearance issues with a B18C in a CRX. I've seen people either get the CRX Si-R hood or copy that has a bubble for extra clearance.

If you want to run the car that bad, take a hammer and beat the hood out. LOL
