its too bad all the hard work was already done..... basically you changed heater cores and put new vents in??


Good write up but for me, just not worth it... lol

if his write up seemed hard to you then you need to know all the work that needs to be done...

Parts:
99-00 Dash climate
99-00 comlete car harness encluding engine harnss (obd2B) or else your car wont start
99-00 heater core, blower
99-00 Ecu or obd2b into obd1 jumper if your a gang-star with obd1 ecu.


i would like to see someone do the honda Fit dash in a EF/CRX haha
looks really good, cleanER..

check out the RSX dash into an integra.... pretty intense swap and fully functional.. its on honda-tech...

good post. My friend did this on saturday.

who stinky? he got the entire conversion from my shop :)

[BigCountry]

Not that I find it hard, well it is, I just don't see myself ever doing this.. If I wanted 99-00 dash, I should have bought a 99-00. lol
