yes steering racks are easy to swap out . just remember to mark both racks at center . so when you put them back in you wont have as much to adjust when you have it aligned . my wagon came with power now it dont took the rack out of a 91 dx hatch ... and put it in my 88 . with no problem .
I believe you have to change out the bracket to fit between 88-89 and 90-91. So yes just switch out to which ever you need. Atleast I think thats right.
Does anyone know if the windsheild wipers arms are all the same on the 88-91 civics?
I took mine off to paint them, forgot to put them back on and ended up loosing the drivers side one.
(i think the metal pickup guy took em) cuz they were in my front yard )
So i was just using rainx and the passenger wiper, it works really good, but looks kinda weird, and its gonna start raining soon, and id rather be safe then sorry.
*edit*
So the windsheild wipers do fit like 100%
Also Rear CRX Wipers do not fit on rear!
The screw hole is to wide on the rear crx wiper arm.
Civic hatch one fits buts its small
I dont think i read anything about it on this thred, but does anyone know if i can fit another fuel tank into 91 rt4wd? Ive looked all over and cant find a replacement so i was wondering if i could sub for another one...
The 88-89 Prelude Si knuckles have 10.2" brakes on them with the same calipers, hubs, and wheel bearings as the DA/EX knuckles.
The height of the knuckle is the same as the EX, which is shorter than the DA, and has a shorter tie-rod end arm (quicker steering ratio). The knuckle also has a similar bow to the DA, so you can run a higher back spacing on the wheel (15x8, +35mm; for example)
However, the location of the upper ball-joint receptacle is closer the hub, horizontally. This means it is a massive positive camber correction. I have Skunk2 adjustable upper control arms on my Wagon, and with them at full negative and the car lower 2", I still had +1º camber.
1 positive, though...the Prelude knuckle pushes the wheel mounting surface of the rotor further out, and there is a good 1/2" more clearance from wheel spoke to caliper.
Does this mean the climate controls are interchangable between wagons and hatches/sedans? Any year?
Yeah the climate controls should be the same. I have a setup in mine right now that's made from the good parts of 3 different climate controls. 1 Wagon, 1 sedan, 1 CRX. They are the same, EXCEPT some of the CRX's had a different all-push-button style Climate Control setup. Those obviously won't work, but the normal ones with the one big knob for heat control, and the sliders for the vent control and fan speed and fresh air/recirculate, Those are the same across all the models.
didnt see this posted, the front t brace where the hood latch and relase is, its the same on a 90 crx si and a 91 usdm rt4wd wagon
Need a confirm and more info on this.. are the braces the same on the DX wagon as the rt4wd? And why 90 crx si? Is it different than non-si? Annnnddd what about sedans and hatches? Do they fit?

From what I've seen with the t bar, they are all the same. Crx, sedan, hatch and wagon all use the same t bar. I've been to the junkyard many times and have matched up the t bars that are there. Mine was bent when I bought it and I used a crx t bar. Than during my motor swap the crx t bar got mangled and now I'm using a sedan t bar.
Not sure if the si model is different but I wouldn't think that it is as it seems the si ex and rt models are pretty much the same.(don't qoute me on that)

Just wanted to add this thread got good shiiz, but I went through it all an I don't think anyone add what I went through but an brake master and brake booster from an 93 si delsol fit in my 91 rt... Just figure I add my 2 cents

Will any 88-91 civic/crx headlight work on a 88 wagon?
Yes. They are indeed all the same.
I took mine off to paint them, forgot to put them back on and ended up loosing the drivers side one.

In the first post it states that DA rear shocks can be used. While they can be used, they are roughly 1.5" taller than the EE and ED chassis shocks.
EG would be a better alternative as they are actually slightly shorter (~0.5").
This is speaking in terms of someone wanting stock ride height or lower. If you are wanting to raise your wagon, then more power to you!

Thank you, Sir! Much appreciated!
The info is in this thread
Gotta Change mine very soon.
