will 90 crx doors fit an 88 model? i have been told yes and no.

 

i have a 91 hf with the driver side door from an 88 si... it worked for me!

 

90-91 has seat belts in door - 88-89 doesn't - otherwise they fit

 

The 88 doesn't, My 89 does have factory seat belt's in the door.

 

seatbelt issue aside, 88 doors will fit a 91? i heard conclusively it doesnt fit perfectly around the b pillar trim. can i get a pic please?

 

I have an 88HF and have 91 doors! its kinda alot of work! u gotta take out the seatbelts that are on the door! u also gotta take the 2 studs that are on the top part off! I had to also make a dent in the inner part of the door(a few inches below the window on the inside) so the door would flush out! If u get the 2 studs out and the seatbelts put it on and make the dents! Just see where it hits(common sense)It will work but its a hasle gOODlUck!

 

Did any of you guys notice a material weight difference between the 88 doors and the 90-91 doors? There is definately some weight difference due to the seat belts, but there was also this controversy about weather the 88 has impact beam. Supposedly these beams wieght something stupid like 30lbs each!

For the record. All 88's and HF89's are seat belt free. 89DX and SI and all 90-91's have seat belts in the doors. This USDM only. I believe in Canada, all years/models had the 88 style seatbelts.

 

I swapped the doors on my 89 Si, used the doors with seat belts in them...damn those buggers were HEAVY!!! took some time to make them fit just right...but it was worth it...no more rust!!!

 

I took a look at the doors that i was going to put on. I am in canada an you were right ALL THE SAME STYLE!!!! No seatbelts in the doors. I was always wondering what the heck you guys were talking about and why i had never seen any like that. booya.

 

haha Canada = another world

 

I don't understand why they make these kinds of small differences between the 2 countries. You would that that it just costs them more money. You guys get HF's we get no seatbelts on the doors. Fair...i think not.

 

I agree, the U.S. always gets the crap batch of Japan, from cars to even cell phones, we get the "table scraps". How hard is it to make a DOHC civic/crx available in the us? why must we get the SOHC (not that its that bad, id just rather have a DOHC then a single cam).

 

Plain and simple. The crash standards in the US are much stricter than anywhere in the world. The door mounted seat belts are much stronger in a collision.

 

But your HF model has very low front bumper crash ratings. As where here in Canada we didn't even get the HF simply because of that fact. Aahhh who cares. Let's all sit back and enjoy the EF chassis that the lord has blessed us with.

 

blame canada for being different

 

yeah, but canada never got the door mounted seatbelts, and they have DRL's which im getting to save on my insurance... just a little relay behind the centerconsole...

 

hehehe that's funny, I always pull my DRL fuse as soon as a buy a car. I hate having my lights on all the time, I want control.

 

just saw a 90 crx fitted with jdm doors (that dont have door mounted seat belts) and they fit PERFECT. just gotta take out the knubs on the pillar and the hook on the rocker. gosh, i wonder who said they didnt fit to me before...

 

Yeah, us Canucks also got the 91 CRX Se with the pretty front bumper and rear spoiler

 

Why? I find that kinda dum.... It was proved that less accidents occured by having those daytime running lights....
