i was wonder if i were to get a jdm front end conversion on my 88 crx hf or my 88 civic std would it make it heavier? or would it stay at the same weight?
thanks in advance

thats a good question, i'd like to know the same but i doubt its any heavier if by a pound or two.

 

another question where can i find a crx sir rear seat? and would it if in a 88 crx hf? and are the motors from password jdm smog and carb legal?
thanks in advance

i got an extra ef8 jdm bumper and fenders for sale if your interested...let me know..im at sf

 

jdm front bumper would make it lighter i believe. thats what i heard. not positive tho.

 

I would be lighter, the jdm bumper support is ~5lbs and the usdm support is ~25lb or so.

There's a JDM bumper support? When I got mine it was just styrofoam I hope I'm not missing anything.

 

Well it's just a strip of metal to mount it to the body. Here is a pic of a JDM and USDM bumper support for DA.

 

Thanks for posting that pic but I'm afraid to say that I was not given a front support

 

wow im glad to here that it is lighter, becuz i really like the way it looks but i just did want to make my car heavier be it would defeat the purpose of me gutting it out
thanks

Lighter.
The USDM headlights are heavy glass and the JDM headlights are plastic.
Plus, when you put them in, you remove all this crappy metal mounting hardware that was added to the USDM car so it can have glass headlights.

 

really, how much lighter would it be?

500 lbs...does it really matter? considering you are adding a backseat which will ad weight...are you making this into a drag only car? cause 20-100 lbs isnt going to make a difference on a street car...

 

I wonder how much weight is lost in gutting the rear..

maybe 20-30lbs.... not including the spare tire..

well actually the backseat is for my friend, my crx is going to be completely gutted out its a race only car, i was just asking for my friend, and the frontend conversion is for my civic hb

 

100 pounds would make a difference every pound makes a difference, it lows the power weight ratio

as for the back seat for the crx go to JDMShit.com they have the seats your looking for good luck
