would i be able to put a rhd crx clip on my 91 civic hatchback? the front of my hatch is pushed in a lil and was wondering if the clip would fit. thanks

 

what do you mean by clip?

 

depends on what year the CRX is...here is what you'll be left with unless your comforatable with a welder

CRX fender, bumper, and corner lense

later after an accident and replacement parts


Ohh yea on the other side I still have the hatch fender and corner lense....they don't match up with the front bumper

 

im talking about the rhd clip that includes the firewall and dash and **** and just cut my hatch and weld the new clip the my hatch body

 

Well then I guess my posts should have hinted that the front portion of the clips are the same. I'm not for sure but I know all the CRX parts will bolt direct up to a Hatch. Some differences might show if it's an SiR clip but those are in the radiator support area (hood latch bracket & such)

from the way i read this, im hoping your not planning on literally cutting your frame to put the crx clip in? right?

Dont Do It!!

 

yeah you have to cut your frame and weld the new clip in to convert it to rhd.

 

no you don't.

the firewalls are identical for RHD and LHD cars, everything is on opposite sides though. you can swap brake master cylinder, wiring harness, and the front t-bar/core support in the engine compartment and then swap the dash and steering components (rack and column) as well. People do this pretty regularly without cutting the car in half. The only reason you get a RHD front clip and not the entire car is that it's cheaper to ship than a whole car (you can fit twice as many in a container). They don't sell you the front clip expecting you to weld it on your current car. cutting cars in half and welding them back together isn't a great idea

 

yeah dude havent u seen pimp my ride lol

 

i was just gonna weld the clip to a shell i have because the front was in a small collision and i cant get it straightened out so all the components will line up. but i think im just gonna scrap the shell and get a new one thanks for your guys help

Look in archive. Some other HT did this a long time ago. I think he did it on an Integra. Still a stupid idea though.

 

shells can be repaired....but you should leave that to professional body shops and even then the structural integrity has been compromised

 

Why do people still insist on RHD here? Do they seriously think its cool?

It is becoming worse than the worst rice ever.

 

you'll still be stuck with the wack crx fenders. look at the sides of it next to the door.

RHD may be becoming the new 'rice' fad, but it's always gonna be better than Streetglow, Areogear, APC, etc.....

At least it's gonna be OEM rice. Homegrown!
