modifying rear engine bracket.. for bswap into crx
you will need to purchase one from Acura part no. 50827-SK7-020. It is the rear engine bracket for a 90-93 Acura Integra. NOTE: The two holes on the rear bracket for the two lower bolts at the transmission will need to be enlarged to accept the 14mm x 1.25 bolts that go with that transmission. The bracket is available already modified, from Hasport for $75. Ask for part number EFRBHY.
basically wtf do i need to do to get this ****** set.. it says use a 9/16th drill bit but i went to homedepot and couldnt find that ******..
so wtf..
heres pictures of a predrilled ------- bracket..
are these the two holes you drill out?
mother *******.. someone help me out here because im about to lose my ------- mind..
one of the ------- holes has a shaft (lol i said shaft) and a nut welded into the end.. does that mean i have to drill out that nut too? and wont that also mean that that entire shaft will get drilled out? or is that shaft already big enough to slide the 14mm bolt through?
this ---- is pissing me off... it really is.. lol

thats news to me...i always heard that you just use the factory teg bracket
The first thing to do is to bend the rear crossmember lip down. Right where the old stock CRX mount was (where the new HAspor one will go) bend the lip down on at LEAST a 45 degree angle, for the width of the mount. Now you can install the rear mount.

the rear tranny bracket ("t" bracket) needs to be from a 90-91 integra (or a gen 1 b16a). It will also need to be drilled out (on the 2 holes that bolt to the tranny) with a 9/16ths metal drill bit. The gsr tranny uses bigger hardware. Its easier than it looks. This is not needed for cable trannys.

what size is the hole now? i doubt you need to make it so big that you will be removing the shaft. HD should have a /16 drill bit, if not go to a hardware store or lowes or some ----
