As I'm impatiently waiting for a replacement windshield and core support to be put in properly (I decided to outsource these activities)... It's time to start thinking about the swap. I lazily haven't done much but look at how and where I'm going to fuse the g10's exhaust with the CRX's exhaust/muffler. It doesn't look like it will be too difficult. I expect the metro axles to fit into the crx hubs without a fight - as I mentioned before in this thread, the outer splines of the metro axles fit perfectly into the crx hubs, and the CRX and metros have track widths with negligible difference where axles are concerned (I think the crx is 2mm wider If I remember correctly). The only concern here is getting the motor mounted at the proper elevation and center to properly accommodate the axles, exhaust, and shift linkage... Any pointers on how to achieve this? Any insight on which gauge cluster to use (will more of the CRX components like windshield wipers, lights, fuel gauge, speedo, tach work properly when hooked up to the geo cluster, or vice versa?) I can't wait to find out for myself, but any guidance is appreciated while I twiddle my thumbs waiting.
