1) It's lighter.

2) With it, you can use their fourth motor mount (although I'd bet that it is only if you use the other three Place Mounts and not Hasport mounts)

3) You can use the radiator from the 92+ Civics and it's supposed to be better. What I don't understand is that it appears to be smaller in dimensions, but is dual core. The radiator in my 89 Si is full width and I'm wondering if it's possible to get a dual core version made up.

I just bought one the other day. It is suppost to be lighter and give you more room to fit a bigger header than stock. It also come with a front motor mount. Four mounts are always better than three. My other mounts are also place racing so I don't know if it will work if you use motor mounts other that place racing. I got mine from JDMhondaparts.com. I payed $150 pluse shipping thats the crossmember and mount...

the problem with the place racing is that it still uses the stock bushings for the radius rods. not worth it imo, thats most of the point of getting one. i recommend the jimfab.

I'm using a Koyo Radiator off of a 90-91 Integra, and it fits perfect in the crx, except it's a lot thicker. I hink i might need that crossmember, cuz i'm runnin 4-1 headers from dc sports for a type r and i had to remove the a/c fan for it to fit. How much is it?
