JDM Honda CRX SiR Vtec GLASSTOP

[smiff_yo]

Hey,
I just bought this car straight from Japan, and was wondering if anyone out there has done any mods to one of these before. She's parked for the winter, but I am dying to do her up for the summer. Any ideas??
Thanks

I have an EF9 Civic so it's the same story. Usual mods I/H/E but you'll find that the rear shocks may have different mounts to the domestic varients due to the rear disks and the fact that JDM stuff is done slightly differently in some cases. Good luck on parts - there's a lot on the front end that you will need to source.

I saw an EF8 glasstop a few days ago, nice beast but the sun in the middle of summer (right now here - Australia) would destroy me.

Cheers

know anywhere i can pick up a glass top for 91 crx si?

You can't convert a CRX to a glass top, you have to buy a glass top CRX. They look pretty sweet.

It's integral with the car - you'd have to cut the entire roof off yours and apply a JDM similar cut - I dunno how much rigidity you'd lose though.

oh shoot i thought might be some kind of coversion for a glass to to replace the metal..its kool though i just have to live with it

The glasstop conversion has been done. I seen it in a friend of a friends garage.. Looks fuggin' dope as hell.

I think the car's going to be finished this summer, and I'll be sure to grab some pics.

I saw it done once here too - they replaced the firewall with an Aussie one :P Easy way to keep the EF8 together and "road-registerable". Pity they got busted and the car was crushed :?

We seem to be getting the JDM Si and SiR 'rexs in here more so people are going that way rather than buying an ED 'rex. Same car, but it's cheaper to buy and import from Japan than buy an Aussie spec one.

Import runs to about 4 grand US and domestic is between 5-6 grand US.

so your in canada? i take it the crx is an 89?

whats it cost to import an siR?

pics?

[SiZ]

Huh?! He's from the other Canada. The one down under.

I'm in Canada.. He didn't import the whole car, just the roof and everything he needed.. I didn't see the build up process, I just seen the car in his garage.

Bloody hell - I wish they'd put the damn location info back. :?

Definitely not from Canada - we root roos, not sheep :P
