CRX w/ Half Radiator , what crossmember works ?
iv read the post on ht about the half radiator in the crx .. ..but didnt find the info i was looking for .....
i was wondering if anyone knew what crossmember will let the 92-95 civic half radiator fit in the car ...
i know jimfab, place racing make some .. but didnt know if those would allow it .. or if they made more than one crossmember for diff radiators in the crx or what not .. .
if anyone had any info on this . .that would be great .. ..
thanx

Yeah, that **** broke when I was about to jump on the freeway and my steering got very sloppy, luckily it happened when I was about to get on, so I got off the nearest exit and slowly drove the car home.
