very cool sounding project

i heard that for the rear power windows you can use the motors from a honda odyssey or something like that

I found some motors that look like they may work, but will stick out too far.
finding an odyssey is hard around these parts.

if you really really want the motors, just buy OEM honda from online.

Awesome project good luck with the build

Sounds cool, i say go with a ITR trans.
This place has one NEW http://www.jdmland.com/

in for this...sounds like a sweet deal..


plans for power windows up front?...i suggest JDM doors with power windows or just get the JDM window assembly..

Rear disc swap maybe?

i forgot to add disks to the list, and the power windows are going to be from a sedan. i may get JDM switches some day, but they are too much money for what they are worth.

edit: i didnt forget.

wait a second... wouldn't JDM switches or JDM doors have the switches on the wrong side of the car?...

There are actually a few out there that are for LHD cars but good luck finding them. Usually people just flip them upside down and wire accordingly. works out fine.

efs are sweet just a little much of an old school look for me though good luck.

not sure, but I may be scrapping this.
i found a new car... a Crx Si that comes with a b16 motor + tranny that is not installed...
i will keep this one as my winter car though. hell, i should keep the project as something to do in the summer! =D

lol good game :(

what game? i am serious. here is a picture of the Crx I am looking at.

the one thing that I really want to experiment with is the rear windows being powered on the hatch, the front power windows, and the power mirrors. the seats are proving to be an absolute pain!
BTW: 97 integra seats are hard to modify.

good game, it's an expression
look it up on urbandictionary.com

CRX looks like a good project. I say go for it.

lol not really... well I guess it depends what you're doing.
I have 98-01 Integra GSR seats (same as 97 but leather and with tilt controls) and I have swapped del Sol seat pans into them, removed the lumbar support, and removed the tilt, all to make the seats sit low like my del Sol seats. I now have seats that look like GSR seats and feel like del Sol seats... the best of both worlds.

I want the lumbar support though.
i got a spare set of EF seat pans... drilling out spot welds for the mounting brackets.
gonna modify them to fit the 97 seat pans... should be fun!

you don't have to remove the lumbar support
the reason I did is because in the del Sol the lumbar support on the GSR seats was pushing on the center console and denting it. I doubt you'll have that problem in the CRX.

in for this...sounds like a sweet deal..


plans for power windows up front?...i suggest JDM doors with power windows or just get the JDM window assembly..



i just seen the whole setup on ebay for LHD for 600. comes with door panels, switches/door handles, and window regulators, and motors. i dont know how much it would cost piecing it together either though. and im sure jdm doors are about that much but i dont know!

figured id let you know!
