Im visiting my parents in NC for the holdays and decided to take a crack at P-A-P. I had about 12 cars to look through and found almost nothing. Then I stumbled on a CRX HF that wasnt listed. Got me a HF front sway bar. Was pretty excited to find it.
And since I have an auto I snatched out the pedal assembly for the 5spd swap. Of the 13 cars I looked at, it was the ONLY car that had a complete manual trans pedal assembly.
Also grabbed a sedan rear handle for the passenger door. I know that trivial but I like the cleaner look.
Overall I found it a successful trip.


BTW, does anyone know if the power steering crossmember and the manual steering crossmember the same?? I have PS and wanna do the swap.

Good pick ups!


Also why do you want power steering? It's really not needed on these little cars.

No, I have PS and want to convert to Manual steering.
Might just remove the pump and all and jump the lines at the rack. The ps rack does have a quicker ratio.

Also, I cant find ANY 17.2mm polyurethane swar bar bushings. Anyone have any clues??

Sorry I mis-read your post.

I believe the crossmembers are slightly different but I dont think that would effect if your running a manual or power rack (if I'm wrong someone please correct me). If you need a spare manual rack, I have two in my car as I type LOL. LMK and I'll be willing to work something out. Oh yeah both are DX/HF racks just incase you want to install a Quaife Quick-Ratio Rack & Pinion Kit in it.

Its cool man,
I did some research and the crossmember for a MS rack is still available from Honda but the PS crossmember isnt. That makes me think that they are def different.

Ill keep your rack in mind. Not in a huge hurry to do it, mainly getting a game plan down.
I didnt know quaife had that available, cool as hell AND expensive as hell!!!
