Project IRX: CRX-Insight Renaissance Experiment

Before I forget, I need to order two parts from honda tomorrow:

#210001
#210003

You'll have to pictify me.. I'm not sure what cross bar you're talking about.

There's the lower core support, holds the radiator/condenser if you have one

The upper core support, has the hood latch mechanism and the radiator retainer brackets.

The mid-support, which bolts between the upper and lower core supports, helps to hold the hood latch mech in place, and also has a bolt hole or two for the condenser coil and possibly power steering line, which you don't have.

That should be all, that I can think of.

Took a picture of me pointing at it:

Also, should the fuel pump be constantly on? It sounds like it's just pushing fuel in a circle around the lines instead of priming and then shutting off. It's not leaking anywhere, so I'm a little confused what the issue might be. Ideas?

Check your main relay and FPR.

Nothing goes on that bar unless you someday decide to install A/C again, then you'll have a condenser there.

Talked to the CV guy. He said the best method, used by rebuilders who are doing radical conversions, is to cut it, take a slug of steel and friction weld the ends to it, then you turn the slug down to the diameter of the axle and wala, you have a thru welded and balanced shaft. There are places that can do that, he couldn't remember the names because he's been out of that for a few years now, I imagine you could just try to find a rebuilder willing to indulge.
If you go ahead, if you haven't already, welding it up your self. The aircraft guys who do tube welding repairs of older aircraft will do a similar "but" type joint repairs to tubes that have cracked. They will "fishmouth" the end of the tube that slips over the existing part so that when they weld it there will not be a stress concentration around the circumfrence. They will also only weld a 1/4" at a time. Alternating 180 degrees apart, kinda like torquing a wheel on a car.

Now get to it!

I like the fishmouthing idea... I don't think it will work out well here, but I like it.
