JDM Front end conversion, CIVIC? or CRX?

Okay, now i wanna do a JDM Front End Conversion for my Civic Hatch, and i was wondering if i should put the Civic front end or the CRX fornt end..... Some may say its not possible to put the CRX front end on a Civic, BUT! I do know that on USDM Civics, to put a CRX Bumper on all you have to do is get fenders, corner lights, the filler piece and the actual bumper.... Well, if this is true, then i can put the CRX SIR front end on my Hatch because it comes with all these parts PLUS the rest (i.e. hood, headlights, cornerlights, etc...).........

Well, I am thinking of putting the CRX on my Hatch because it looks cooler and its a lil more uniqe..... cause i've not seen a Civic with a CRX front end......

Here's a link to what both look like:

Oh, and how much should i expect to pay for the whole front end? cause i know a bunch of u have this....

Oh and i liked it so much after i saw that thread Setanta made when he went to an Aussie meet...... i dont know if some of you have seen that thread or what..... well, here's the link to the thread but the pics dont work anymore...

So, Setanta, if you have those pics, please post em up again! Thanks!

Here is another good pic of the front end conversion with a hot lip that i have to find!!!

Does anyone know what lip this is?

Man I'm gonna make your day!! That is a BMS Racing Evo-Optik Front Spoiler. The car in the pic is a UK spec EE8 MK2 CRX VT, equivalent to the JDM EF8 siR, but with a few less goodies.

I think it’s a German company. http://www.bms-racing.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=news&file=article&sid=105&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

Right that’s my good deed for the day, I can sleep easy now ;)

What’s more if your German aint up to scratch go to my website and paste the page you want translated into the translator. Make sure to change the translator to German ~ English. Now who da man? ;) Good luck with the conversion, a CRX front would look sweet on a Civic, I can never tell the difference in my rear view mirror most of the time.

If you did go for the siR front and you were interested I could do you a set of these projectors for the siR me and my mate are making for our CRX siR's (needs to be painted).......

I need some of those decals.

J/P man;) SiR front end would look pretty tight on your car. You could use setantas to compare seeing as his car is also black.

Its gonna take about $3-4 grand... If you want to it right... The front end will cost about $800 shipped then a good paint job will run $2500-4000.... :( I got the front end sitting in my basement... Just begging for some paint and a nice home on my car... I am almost there to have enough for the paint job... You have a black car tho so it might be easier to blend....

Yea, nothing more beautiful than a black car when its clean, but it gets dirty with a quickness.

A great aspect about black cars though is you can use that turtle wax color match shit and it will fill in any scratches really well. They have the color match wax for other colors, but I dont really trust em when they say it "blends with all shades of blue"

guys if u want SIR fronteneds i can do them for you
probably 750 shipped

IF you get a SIR Carbon FIber Hood, and SIR Lights, isn't that basically all you need if you put an aftermarket front bumper?

91 CRX is in question?

The side fenders should be the same.....

Thanks...


:bandit:

damn niicee, where the hell have you been?!? Havent seen you in a LONG time.

What's going on, I know. Not to knock this website but it's murder trying to get into this thing. Plus I've been busy lately. Working on my car, trying to find the best set-up internaly. May go N/A with a B20 conv...

:sun:

and nobody answered so I'll ask it again...

If I get a SIR Hood and SIR headlights, isn't this all I need?
The fenders should be the same, am I right?

Not worried about the SIR bumper b/c I have the RS bumper I can modify.




:confused: :confused: :confused:

I think you might have to modify your stock fenders slightly but yes, I do believe that you can use the same fenders.

And yes, AF has been having server problems for a while now. They say they are working on it, but pretty much it has its good days and its bad.

i have been told the length of the crx bumper is shorter than the hatchback!!

Okay, i'm bringing this back because i still wanna know if i can put a CRX Front end on a Civic....... Thanks!

-Ali

ali, with money and a good shop anything is possible.

niicee - great to see you back here again, hows the car coming along?

Hey Ali...I like the CRX bumper, but the Hatchie corner lights/fenders. :( ;)

But it is your new baby, so do what you like :D

And dropshop's price sounds pretty good.

What's up dawg!>!>!

How's everything? How's the whip? Did you get that B16 in?

My car's running fine now. Had some falking problems one after the other which pissed me off. Alternator went, clutch falked up, and to top it off my oil pan was crushed by falking construction. But everything is taken care of as of RIGHT NOW...phew...now back to moding...trying to get a hold of CTR cams, b/c I'm going to cross over to the darkside pretty soon and CTR are good cams for that.

Upgraded the clutch to a 6 puck with a 12 lbs ACT flywheel....
whoooooooaaaaa, it feels ggggREAT!

well... if I was going JDM, personally I'd want this front end... but on a 180SX or S13 (the day is getting closer ;) )...

Damn I need to find a nice first gen shell somewhere - these cars are > 4th gens ;)

Ok... now we're getting somewhere...

I of course prefer the Mitsubishi RVR... can you say SUV with a slightly detuned EVO 3 motor in it?????

While I'm in the mood...

13 second 3rd gen... stripped to wigh about 650 kilos and a stock B16A/S1 tranny in it with custom ECU and exhaust.... this thing runs 13s flat and is unsorted - timeslips to prove it :)

Not to mention the motor your 240SX's SHOULD have got in it - SR20DET...

A few more grey imports from a dyno day we had a while back - Pulsar GTiR AWD:

R32 GTS-t:

WRX (I am sooo sick of seeing these things - they are almost as popular as R32 and R34s :rolleyes:
http://home.iprimus.com.au/cuchulainn/cruise/DCP_0028.JPG

MMMMMM... S15 Silvia :D
http://home.iprimus.com.au/cuchulainn/cruise/DCP_0018.JPG

RX3 running 13BT... most every vintage of rotary over here has a 12A, 13B or 20B turbo transplanted into it ;)

http://home.iprimus.com.au/cuchulainn/cruise/DCP_0027.JPG

Might as well throw in 2 of the Aussie cars at the dyno day...

'70s Torana GTR XU1 - had a tendancy to jump off the dyno

http://home.iprimus.com.au/cuchulainn/cruise/DCP_0022.JPG

VL Calais Commodore turbo ... this is the straight 6 RB30DET varient that was the alternative to the boring NA 6 or the V8. Again, this one required straps and 4 fat guys to hold it on the dyno :p

Yeah ok... I was bored tonight :p
