Car: 88 Crx Si

I was wondering could I swap the US rear crossmember out for a JDM one?
Would it make a difference because the car is rhd? Would the rear mount bracket be different if I get a SiR crossmember?


{now back the to USDM one}
Would a 88-91 Civic hb (or sedan) have the same rear crossmember as the rex? I want to think yes, but you know how honda does with minor differences.


Before you jump the gun and ask why, I believe mines is bent and I can get a Japanese one for cheap ($75), buy a new one from honda ($300+), or luck up and find a rex at a local junkyard (slim odds) then I got to pull it myself which I dont have the time for.


Thanks for you help.

 

you can't use the JDM rear crossmember because it is for a RHD car

 

doubt the sir will fit becacse of rhd but the hatch back will...Zaakro got to it first

 

I just did some searching on how to replace the rear crossmember, and someone posted that they (jdm/usdm) are the same, but the steering components (which I dont need) are different.


Do people swap that crossmember when doing a rhd conversion?

 

see where i circled? that is part of the steering rake and it has a hole in the cross member that it goes thru and it doesnt have it on the left hand side.

 

Thanks for clearing that up. I would buy you a beer if you lived near me LOL

 

no problem
