Someone's gonna drop it on ya hard, so I suggest you post up what you
Want out of this Crx, what brand/type of parts you have listed, and be ready for people to ask why you're asking theoretically "probable" questions.
As for which CRX:
Si has all the options like sunroof and black interior and rear discs, etc. However, the HF is the lightest and very sought after for that reason. The DX is just a cross between the two, and if it were me, id get an Si. But that's because I like the sunroof and the oem wheelzzzzz
Good luck

Not really, 97 civic exhaust is on the right crx is left. The crx crosses over in the back. Additionally you have to cut out a part of the center pipe because the civic is longer. And the crx doesn't have a post cat O2 sensor.
Fuel regulators as long as it corresponds to your motor
yes
Distributor-yes as long as it correspond to your motor and your converted to obd1
Not always there are different bolt patterns for different d series heads for the distributors
Headers depending on motor
yes
Intake depending on motor
Please clarify what you mean, do you mean intake manifold?
Rotors would have to check on rotor size
Civic Ex is bigger than the CRX
Cam shaft corresponds to head not chassis
radiator no yes only with modification
You probably wouldn't want to, I would stick with a full size radiator.

Lower control arm will not fit it is too long (excessive negative camber) and catback exhaust will fit don't really matter what side the exhaust is on
