thanks guys.. do you know the vin like ef8 ef9 ?

 

yeah

 

maybe you just need the jdm radiator(ef8)? since the fill/neck is recessed a little towards the firewall... maybe that will give you the extra clearance. I think the radiator supports are similar if not the same between a cr-x and a crx.

 

its a crx and i have tried both the ef8 one and the stock one.

 

I used the usdm with no fitment problems at all no shimming needed. (my car did have front end damage before) But the ef8 one is the one that will work for sure. Your car must be whats out of wack if its not fitting correctly.

the hood latch must of been modified to be placed about an inch back to fit. i'll take pics of mine. unless your car was an 88

 

It was a 91 and your wrong. It was not modified.

here's a pic of it on my 91 crx.

 

yeah but you also said you have had front end damage. I am not saying you didn't use yours. What i am saying is from personal experience and what alot of others are saying is that you can not use a USDM or EF8/9 T support to latch your hood

 

You need the 90-91 ef6, ef7 t-bar and everything bolts right up.

That picture does not do any justice. You are the very first CRX I know in many many years that DOES NOT have this problem. Unless you have an EF5,6,7 with SiR front T-bar or your car may have been bapped. The reason why I mentioned '88, is because, JDM CRX SiRs are actually 1988 CRX base chassis.

yeap, i'm currently using a USDM T-bar. I had to modify the Hood latch! Booooz!

 

get the 90-92 ef7 or ef6 t- bar.

 

i thought what he posted was wrong. i couldn't remember which one to get. thanks guys a pearl white crx with a shaved bay, topmount with a shimmed t support doesn't look right

 

anybody have one for sale?

I'll check my shop if we have one. No guarantees because we usually get EF8s. I'll send you a PM.

Base chassis? They used the same chassis from 87 -91. The EF chassis.

Actually, they are base 88 EF CRXs, if you haven't noticed, the SiR seats will bolt straight onto 88-89 USDM CRXs and not 90-91 USDM CRXs.

Everyone else doesn't have, or has a shitty looking JDM front.
