Just picked
up an 88 dx with what appears to be a ZC swap. Also what what kind of Ecu is that supposed to have? It's running a pG7? Is that right?
The head looks wrong to me but I'm no expert. (Isn't it supposed to have two bolts on top?)
Also it smells like it's burning oil but it's been two weeks now and there is no disparity in oil.
Confusing to say the least. But I'm super happy to be back in my favorite car and the price was right.
I know that I need to match up the trim! Any one have any tips on how to fix that paint? Comment or dm me please
"Also it smells like it's burning oil but it's been two weeks now and there is no disparity in oil."
Is there any oil buildup anywhere on the motor or exhaust that could be burning? Even a small gasket seap can cause the oil to drip on a header or other hot surface and poof burnt smelling oil. Make sure your temp gauge is up to speed.....

They "seem", or have you actually looked at them and how they are mounted.
Betting that they are NOT mounted using the factory Crx holes.
Either 3 of the 4 bolt holes line up and another hole has been drilled to accommodate the Civic seat.
Best way is to swap the Civic seat foam and fabric onto a Crx seat frame.
This retains the Crx seat frame, and basically the only reason people do this is because the Crx seat fabric is worn out.
Any other seat install requires welding and fabricating of the seat frame rails.
The seats are mounted correctly but in meh shape. I'm gonna have the bolsters redone in leather an keep the centers the color they are. First things first she needs another oil change ;( and a compression test. She shouldn't be burning oil and has a slight misfire.... Damnnnnnnit
I'm tracking down a pair of 88 seats. Don't the 88s have different rails then 89-91?
Anyways I got a set of mudflaps and trim paint to fix the side skirts so mini update for now but makes me happy
Partly correct.
All US '88 models and the '89 HF share the same rails. It has to do with pillar mount belts vs the later door mounted belts.
Seats from cars with pillar mounted belts DO NOT have the seatbelt latch attached to the rails.
The US market was the only market to get door mounted belts, so any other non US market 88-91 Crx seat will fit your '88.

No problem, you're welcome!
I edited that and got a bit more specific, to avoid confusion in how it was originally worded.
I helped put a few FAQ articles on here together to help organize info about these cars, as there are a few differences within 88-91 as well as US market vs. the rest of the world.
So I ordered some Amber corners and bumper lights and somehow the sent me doubles of each and sent me the wrong year bumper lights [emoji17] I'm not sure how they pulled that off considering they got the corner lights right
