Very interesting, if i was in your place i would seriously consider looking into a front clip from a JDM CRX Si-R. It may not be THAT much more expensive than buying the stock parts and it'll look a hell of a lot nicer IMO. Im sure someone on the list can give you an estimated cost of the clip and you may get the B16 engine as well depending on what kind of plans you have for the car. I dont have the link for the pic of the JDM Si-R but im sure someone has so you can check out what it looks like.
Take care J.R. >From: "D Wakefield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "D Wakefield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: CRX: HF to SI upgrade >Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 06:11:13 -0500 > >As I begin work on rebuilding the nose of my 91 HF, I'm also pondering the >long term goal of bringing it up to SI specs.
