k24 rd6

SOLD

I originally bought this as a project but I have 3 other project cars and am out of space.

1987 CRX SI with an 1987 Integra d16 engine. Body is in good condition but has a few cracks in the plastic and clear coat is peeling. Interior is very clean.

The bad, the engine smokes sometimes but drives fine. Because of this I cannot guarantee it will pass smog so I am selling it as a non running parts car. $1000

I grabbed a homelink maplight out a first gen CL at the junkyard. I knew it wouldn't fit but it was only $5. I figured I could
mold it in somewhere. I wanted an easy to replace piece so I decided on the top of the steering column cover


It started out looking like this


It is held together at two melting spots on the back side. To get apart just grind the melting off



After it is disassembled it will look like this


The big square in the middle houses the homelink and needs to cut out.



To make it easier and smaller to deal with, the ribbon cable that connects the switches to main board is removed. Wires are soldered to extend the main board so it can be mounted far away


Since the main board will mounted far away the square housing is cut down to bare minimum


The cover needs to be cut out to flush the homelink trim piece. I Drilled out the cover since it quicker than cutting and filed smooth


Set the homelink trim piece in and glue it in

I had previously installed an Odyssey navigation unit in my accord. Since it has been just laying around collecting dust it goes into the CRX. I did a quick mount up of the screen in the console in place of the cig lighter/ashtray/ cassette holder. The older dvd unit is large and will have to mount into the storage compartment. I still need to rewire it to fit the crx. I need to add a speed pulsar to the cluster as well as run alt, reverse, and dimmer wires.

I grabbed a glove box light from an Integra while I was at the junkyard the other day. I simply screwed up into the plastic above the glove box and wired up at the at radio.





Pic is a little blurry but it lights up better than I expected

I have figured out how to add variable intermittent wipers on all my other Hondas that never came with them so I had to do the CRX
also. Since the CRX is so old, the intermittent function is not a part of the ICU. It is its own self contained relay which actually
makes it quite simple to modify the timing.

Opening up the intermittent relay finds a 56k ohm resistor and a 33 uf cap for timing. This gives around a 5 second intermittent
time. I removed the resistor and wired up a 50k ohm potentiometer and presto I had 0-4 second timing. If I used a 100k, it ranges
from 0 back to stock timing.

So basically by removing a resistor and soldering a couple wires to where the resistor was and running them to a pot gives
Variable speed intermittent wipers. Adjustment ranging from the stock speed of around 5 seconds to 0 seconds.

I actually wanted to increase the the time as well as shorten the time. This requires changing the capacitor. The stock capacitor
is a 33uf so I picked up a few different sizes to test with. I started with a 10uf which gave me a a very short max time of about
2-2.5 seconds. Next was a 63uf, it was actually quite good with a max time of around 9 second. and a good range of adjustment.
Finally I tried a 100uf, it gave a super long max time but the short time adjustment was minimal. I decided on the 63uf and soldered it up.

Cap and resistor removed

Finished with switch connector




Now I could have simply wired up a pot and been done but that is not me. I need to have it on the wiper stalk like stock. I am in
planning on another mod which requires a 3 contact slip ring which does not attach to the crx combination switch. I decided to
replace the crx combo switch with one from an 88 Integra. It bolts right on and requires remapping of the connectors and
reconnecting the turn signal wires.

With either the crx or Integra combo switch, the stalk angle is very shallow compared to the cars that use airbags. Unfortunately
all the variable wiper stalks come on airbag cars. On other cars that are an in between stalk depth like a 90-93 Integra/accord, I
could just do a little grinding on the actual arm and get pretty close to stock. This was not the case in the crx. I decided to
keep the 88 Integra arm and remove the rear wiper controls from it. I never use the rear wiper and it will be shaved when the car
gets repainted anyway. I placed the potentiometer from an adjustable switch where the rear controls once were.

It is actually fairly simple to swap. The hard part is to get the pin out that holds the end cap on. Once that is off there is an
e clip holding the pot nob and spacer. The pot will be able to slide off and there will be two screws to remove holding the center
section. The stock teg switch is very similar to take apart. I transferred the center section, pot, and knobs from the adjustable
arm to the stock teg arm.
