some great info on that page. Thanks


My big concern is I'm seeing suspension, camber ... , etc., only for the CRX si??? Does the HF have different suspension components that will make it much more difficult to work with a HF rather than working with a si?

As long as you don't get the dx then you should be fine.

Even if you do get a DX its not much more work Converting to MPFI plus the front nuckles on the DX and Si are the same

you will have to change hubs and axles on the hf - but it is about 200 lbs lighter

If you are swapping in a ZC, you can use the stock HF axles and hubs. Some people will say you can't, but trust me, if that was the case then my car wouldn't be drivable because I have a ZC/HF REX with the HF hubs and axles. As far a a b16 swap....I have no idea.

b16 hf here. just swap out the suspension stuff for integra components for bigger breaks. there's nothing better than light weight

if i had it to do over, it would have been an HF for me. swap in the 91 black si dash and cluster, teg brakes all around, and weld in a roll cage. sounds like my 89 SI.

another b16 hf here...i would go with the hf...only thing different you have to change is the knuckles and its well worth it...the hf is much lighter and just as easy to swap as the si...i would deff. go with hf if not that then the si...and the hf should be cheaper too

Ok that says alot. I will look for a hf.. as i said, I was just conserned that it would be harder to find parts like suspension and brakes systems for the hf
