images show what needs to be done

 

will those handlse fit in the rex?

 

They should, they come off Sedan Rear door handles in case anyone was wondering.

 

are you also installing power door lock actuators? if so how are you going to mount them? i had them a long time ago and cant remember exactly how i did it. especially since i had very little room with the door mounted seat belts.

 

i dont believe he is, however i put together a writeup for doing so.

The door actuators have to be bent twice kinda like a straight S

 

not necessarily. i only bent mine once, where it meets with the factory lock/unlock rod.

 

and there are no clearence issues?

 

nope. haven't messed with it in the 6 months that i've had the actuators and it works perfectly.

 

awsome, i know what i will be doing this weekend now. OP great write up

 

i wasnt originally going to do so but now i want to LOL
thank you for regulating while i was gone nice link ima go look it up
with the door handle or the actuators?
no prob, thats why this site is here

 

yes
Yeah, honda was smart and from 88-91 all the civic/CRX handles where the same cept for the keyless. Obviously we all know why.

 

I meant clearence issues with hte actuators. From the pics it looks like a tight fit.

 

well it's certainly not spacious back there lol. so long as the top of the actuator is below the arm rest portion of the door card then you shouldn't run into any trouble.

 

its sad to thing people need a d.i.y. for this but i did this and put in actuators also about a year ago. very nice

 

Then again, there are new users here, and people who just don't know **** about ****, and people who want to protect their cars better and in an inexpensive way.

 

you forgot those who havent done things in a long while and just plain forget. LOL

 

edit: those who forgot how to ad 2+2 LMAO

DING DING DING i just got a saying for the you know you own an ef when thread LOL

 

So your first intentions were to roll around with your doors unlocked?

 

Nah man, just climb in through the hatch

 

no einstein, we dont have that luxury down here in texas like you do up in washington. we actually get our **** broken into and some times, well more like 99.5% of the time, STOLEN.

 

He makes a valid point.

You install the keyless handles with no intention of getting actuators... what were you planning on? Using a slim jim every time you want into your car? Or the alternative that was suggested -- leaving the doors unlocked?

 

really sh!ft, you need to think about this. Just put the drivers door lock on it, and then drive it around till you have money to get an alarm that you can get actuators with. Patience. It REALLY is a virtue dude

 

i put it on with the intention of only being able to unlock and lock it from the inside, i know i need actuators, but mabey i dont want them?? ever think about that?

 

not bein a dick or anything but it sounds like basically what you're saying is you plan to leave the car unlocked if you're not in it..
