Hello! I have an 89 crx hf that was stolen and stripped of everything that was worth anything, but before it was stolen i had purchased an EF8 crx front clip. Luckily i hadn't swapped anything over yet and i am now in the process of doing it. I just need to know what parts i will be able to use. Mainly: Axles, Wiring harness, Motor Mounts and Shift linkage. I'm hoping to have my car running by this summer. Thanks in advance for anyones help.

 

Herro? Is n e 1 out there?

 

BUMP!

 

every part is usable. the firewall is even usable if you feel like drilling out all the spot welds and and doing a rhd conversion.

 

were did you get your front clip from. i have been looking for and and can only find ef9's and not ef8's

thanks

 

I bought the clip from a local jdm importer that was goin out of buisness, i didnt even get a big discount, but oh well. i just want the car to run by this summer and dont want to waste money on things i dont need right now.

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay?

 

cant use mounts from a JDM chassis if it is B-series....totally different. linkage should be fine and wiring too...just kinda different. you dont have your old harness at all?? easier to start with original than to retrofit totally new one.

i know what you mean it took me about 2-3 months and still couldnt fined one so i was just going to go get a ef9 and when i went to a importer and asked him if he had any crx clips he asked me "wich one i have ef9's and ef8's" my heart droped and i jumped on the ef8 you have to be lucky to finde one or pay a arm and a leg to get a ef8 clip but good luck with your search

 

I got the clip for 1900. Its starting to seem like more of a hassle than just buying a complete swap ready to install, but whats done is done and there is nowhere to go but up. Probably cuz this is my first time and im kinda just freestylin it.

did the clip come with the engine? body panels?

I got an EF9 clip with everything for $2100

 

The clip came with everything but body panels and headlights.

 

ouch. That's kinda high for a clip without body panels. I got mine for $2k shipped but I was on a waiting list. Got everything including JDM ashes in the ashtray.

Yeah I want to tackle this conversion as well on my 88 si one day. So Jesse where did you get your clip from becuase I want everything when I buy mine. Does anyone have pics of the fire wall being put in? I cant wait to be a mailman!
