took about four hours to pull the front suspension from both cars and pull my LS motor.. hopefully i'll get some time next weekend to finish it up :D

what was wrong with your hatch? Good luck finishing the rex.

It wasn't a rex :iceslolan

You should paint your valve cover black...that's just my opinion though.

good luck mate, hatchies are better though ;)

maybe you can't see the hatch that well in the pics, she's pretty rusty, the rex is a lot less rusty and has an interior... it has carpet... carpet is nice. :)

also the rex shell came with koni blues and ground controls and a rear disc swap, also it has beautiful shiny dash and no cracks, interior is near perfect cept the drivers seat is a bit worn, car had a gsr engine in it and the hasport shit linkage was left in it :D

all for 400 that aint bad, so now instead of having 1000 into my LS swapped hatch i have 1400 into an LS swapped rex ;) turbo coming this winter, i got a nearly brand new 14b dsm and she'll run 8lbs til the cows come home :D

i WOULD KEEP THE HATCH DUDE ITS LIGHTER THEN THE REX BETTER IF YOU WANNA RACE OR WHATEVER AN BESIDES TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE REXES IM SICK OF THEM.BUT DO YOU YOU KNOW THE HATCH JUST HAS A BETTER WEIGHT DISTRABUTION THEN THEN REX WOULD IN OTHER WORDS THE WEIGHT IS BALANCED REALLY GOOD I WOULD THROW THE LS IN THERE AN GO FROM THERE

the Rex is lighter from what i hear from people ???? and surely if you throw in a B18 wouldnt this upset the "weight distribution" ;)

Boooooo!!

CRX's are better than hatches IMO.. They look better, they handle better and the interior set-up is also alot nicer IMO so good choice... I have a 91 SI and I love it and I wouldnt trade a hatch for it ever

Its too late, let him do what he wants guys... Stop interrigating the poor boy.

i feel the same way too many have crx'es i wanted one for the longest time and now i love my hatch and would not trade it for any gen crx

The man just said he traded for a rex. I'm sure he doesn't care what u guys would trade for or wouldn't...give it up yo. Anyways good luck on your project! :)

People that have a hatch, really want a rex :iceslolan

5speedaccord said it best...

I want both... heh i'm just greedy

yea right crx's sux ass i would rather drive a escort than a crx there ugly an they suck crx is stand for crys they trust put a x instead of a y cuz they wish they looked like hatches

dude you are gay.. 1st off what you just said made no sense at all... And civic hatchbacks are ugly... But different people like different things i guess

Dude...love the mounts! nothing better than AZRaceMachine mounts...wouldn't mount it any other way!
Anyway...CRX's are way better. I've owned both and I love the Rex. Now if some friends want a ride, you have a reason to not give em' one! "sorry man, it's only a 2-seater"....lol....i've said that at least 30 times since i've gotten the rex....muah hahahah.
N' to whoever said that a hatch is lighter than a crx. your stupid....

Well said!

I got a eg hatch but i hate the 88-91 hatches there ugly look like a box. I always wnated one to paint it spongebob lol..If it was me i would have a rex cause 2 seater like my delsol was and theres alot more potential in them than a hatch..Plus i used to own a rex so i want one again.. just my .02 on this thread later ppl..

Good luck with the CRX. I guess I'm the only one who loves all 4g's. Ive had everything except a Hatch, which i want badly. I think the CRX is more refined than the Civic, but both have their plus sides.

in my opinion hatches n crx's r both nice sedans r the ones with no potential

dude ur all fucking gay,you obviously are like 16 or something an have no idea who i am LOL.all i can say is look for the red hatch you guys are gay!

I think you should be banned. You love hatchies cause theres more room for all your boyfriends and probably fudge pack them...fag.
