[sr20hrdbdy]

i know im asking a question about a honda on here but i wasnt able to get my 240 so i settled for a crx. the question i have is which front end swap do you guys think will be the coolest to do. i know there is a lot of work involed in both and i am totally commited to doing one of these i just dont know which one to do. thanks in advance for all of your opinions. oh and dave if you look at this and you can get me one of the front ends for cheap froms your buddys salvage yard hit me up.

I like the green one. I'm on my phone though and can't see too well. What front end is that?

[jdoe44]

I've always liked the integra front end.

[xmb63]

I like the civic front end never seen that done before. It makes the crx look like my hatch.

[$krap_IN_flesh]

ya definitely the civic would be more noticed.

[1sad521project]

the integra! and it might come with the b18 if you're lucky:thumb:

[hangon]

stay with astock front end on the crx. If it was a civic I'd do a swap but the crx looks great with a minor kit on it and slammed.

[sr20hrdbdy]

thanks guys. yeah the green one is the 92-95 eg civic and the silver one is a 90-93 dc integra. if i get the teg it will come with a running b18 5spd that i can swap in to my rex and the civic will come with the direct replacement d15.

[97redhardbody]

B18 V-tec or LS B18 swap?

[tobysan90]

yeah the stock rex front clip with a lip kit looks better in my eyes, but do what you think looks best

[1lowda]

if its going on a crx the integra front end looks better ive seen it done at a car meet i was at and it looked good

[sr20hrdbdy]

so i finally got pics of my car as it sits. still trying to sell parts to buy the parts car but this is it.

wow dude I was gonna say leave the rex alone, they look good with the stock front end with just a lip, but you need new doors, hood, fenders, and bumper anyways so go with the teggy swap, I like the look of the eg front end better, but if the teggy comes with the B18 then do it, even if it just comes with he ls motor go for it.

[sr20hrdbdy]

yeah im still trying to decide. ive got a guy with a d series turbo kit for 500 installed so idk

[1lowda]

yea but unless you build the motor you dont wanna boost a stck honda motor unless uu plan to run low boost, a buddy of mine just boosted a ls vtec with 8lbs and blew his motor

[Scrappy]

do the integra frontend

[estetic]

SI R!

yeah i was planning on building it up a little later with some low compression pistons, stronger rods, cam, crank, pretty much everything internal.

too many people do that swap and there are too many in Japan. im looking for something noone has done or just a handful. ive only seen the civic front end done once and never seen the da teg done

[1lowda]

yea i just wrecked my teg and know im trying to get another one, i shold have enough money from insurance to get one and be able to boost it

[sr20hrdbdy]

what year was your teg

[Ratrod25]

i've always liked the integra front end.
x2 :)

[1lowda]

its a 91 ive still got it just a little front end damage and i dont feel like fixing it so im just gonna buy another one

[Boltsjr]

my first car was one of those integras so i have a soft spot for em. i also had a 91 si hatch which is the same thing i wanted to just do the jdm hood its raised in the center. then again i belive less is more from doing vws for so long

[sr20hrdbdy]

ok so ive got a little bit done to the car but no pics. the entire front end is pulled off in anticipation for being sold. i figured it would save me time doing it now then later when someone was standing there waiting so yeah. i will try to get pics up. the front is totally fucked. it looks like it ws hit in the pass. side fender and bent the piece that it bolts to. thats probably why it wouldnt line up right. the radiator support is also crushed in a little on the passenger side so ive got quite a bit of work ahead of me as far as the front end goes. the doors and body will be getting sand blasted soon so i can see how much bondo there actually is on the car and how bad the body is.

[Mr.Ryan]

I am personally a fan of the first gen teggy with the flip up lights and torsion suspension, much more agile and a lil smaller than my 98 teg, keep up updated as to which front end you go with.

[sr20hrdbdy]

def. man im gonna try and get some pics uploaded soon.

[sr20hrdbdy]

ok so heres what ive done so far. got the whole front end pulled off and realized im worse off than i thought. i have a lot of work ahead of me. ugh but it will be so worth it to see the final product.

[1sad521project]

starting to look like you might wanna jus try to do a tube chassis up front;) if you dont do the teg then whats gonna happen to it?

[sr20hrdbdy]

if i dont do the teg or eg swap then i will probably fix the front damage and put the old front end on. im really hoping i can do either one though

[whyteboy]

put the si-r front on. and put a k-series motor in there. can get low 11s with an all motor k in a gutted rex. you can run a boosted vtec motor. my boy had a b16 with a gt30 making 400 on all stock internals just cams and a very good tune.

[homewrecker]

Looks like you might want to piece that one togather and sell it then find one in better shape
