car:
91 CRX si

Parts:
jdm hood
jdm bumper
jdm fender
jdm headlights/corners/bumper lights/side markers
jdm t-bar
jdm bumper support (really flimsy)
jdm bumper brackets

WHAT A PAIN IN THE ***.... the T-bar lines up perfect however the hood will not close. I had to use washers in order for the hood to shut.

Im stuck on the bumper support part...

do I remove the USDM bumper support brackets and use the JDM ones, they are thinner.

HELP!!!!
this is no bolt-on

JDM Doesnt have a bumper support. The bumper just bolts straight on.

 

the best t bar to use is the jdm non sir one, but the 90-91 with the sir style front. The real ef8 has a diff bulkhead.

it does have a bumper support a very slim one.

 

Well yeah. That one already on the bumper. Sorry should have been more specific. Looks like you figured it out though.

The car will go back to the body shop next week for color sanding thats why there is no emblem on the hood. The headlights need adjustments, I will also lower it more and install my new moldings and door handles. Lastly detail and clay bar the car

 

I guess I don't see what all the hype is about.

 

HAWT im just about to start my conversion i have all the parts on the headlights do u remember which wire was which for the h4 to h4h thx

 

OK, I'll make this as comprehensive as possible.

There's too much mis-information floating around.
Full page can be found here: LINK

Before ED9 configuration.


Headlights.
EDM Glass H4 headlights. The polt pattern is exactly the same as any other CRX, regardless of year. Will bolt right up.


Corner lights.
You -WILL- need the corner lights. Ordinary corners will work, but will not sit flush. Ever! They are angled and rounded off compared to the regular ones.


Hood and bumper.
The bumper is raised in te middle, to house the B16 engine. Altho in Japan there are fairly rare exceptions.
The hood will bolt right up. It will NOT work with the regular USDM headlights.


The bumper.
This particular EDM one does not come with an impact or support frame. It bolts straight onto the car, however, I needed to use a washer and an extended bolt to make it fit. (You could also bend the tabs instead)
The SiR/VT front end is an inch or so longer...thus the need to alter it. (Distributor bolts and seatbelt spacers are perfect for this)


The locking plate:
Ok, so now we have the headlights in, the bumper ready to go on, and the hood assembled.
I used a red plate for illustration purposes.
You CAN use your own regular T bar, as you can see on this picture.
But the hood will not close...yet.


A closer view shows that the bumper is rounded off, and that there is a gap between the bumper and the locking plate. Using a SiR/VT plate will solve that, but these have a hiddeous hole in them fot the air heater duct.


Here you can clearly see that I simply spaced the plate out using some old bolts. Eventually I bought a set of pre made spacers. I can't think of the exact measurements right now. Sorry. I think it's half an inch or so.


I flat blacked it temporarily. Hardly anyone noticed it this way. But I finished it off nicer eventually. I'll probably end up making my own locking plate.


All that remains is to properly align the hood. You can use a really big screwdriver for this. There's a tab in the big locking pin (with the spring around it) that you can adjust. You'll need to turn it clockwise a few times. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.....

The end result:

Yes...I have a vented hood. Get off my case. It works. I like it.

The original OEM factory real deal.

Notice the subtle differences in alignment and length. The entire front end is longer, that's why the T-Bar is almost identical to your own one.
So from now on... don't let anyone fool you you need the SiR bar that happens to cost $150.

The link on top also has HUGE pictures so you can see it close up. No hidden tricks.... so everyone can see.

From sexy to sexier

 

Thanks... I actually figured it out the hard way. I used about 8 washers per bolt.
