im thinkin of gettin a crx

hey my 95 corolla was recently totaled and now i need a new car. i started lookin at eclipses then celicas then probes. then i was drivin in my nieghborhood and i saw this red crx. it had been sitting there for months now so i asked the owner if it was for sale. he said yes for 1600. it is a 89 dx. it is automatic. it has a remote start. etc. i was thinkin about gettin that 1 when my friend said that his friend had a white crx. he thinks its an si but hes not sure. its white and its manual. it needs a new clutch and a new head gasket which means hell prob sell it to me for cheap. under 400 maybe even 200. im not sure. but yea does ne1 know how much those repairs would be and which 1 i should get.

thnx

damn, crx's are getting a lot of attention lately.

bump

dunno how much the repairs will b but i'd go for the white Si definately for that price :)
u can always drop in a B16 or ZC of course ;)

irregardless of the repairs you need to take that shit if its 400 bucks! new clutch, if you get a stock one like 100 bucks. labor on a blown head gasket is high like 600 and up i've heard but try to find someone that knows how to replace a blown head gasket and it will be real cheap.

yea the more i see crxs the more i like them

in the near future, when i start working 20-30 hours a week (still in school) im going to look for a cheap crx or hatch to put a zc in and later on rebuild it and turbo it.
for a little street racer/weekend car

if i were you i would take either crx but 1600 is kinda expensive i think
but, hey your money

gl on your search

u can also do the head gasket for real cheap urself, it'll only cost the price of the gasket.

yea but i woudnt trust myself cause i would fix the head gasket but me something else up

lol i thought the same thing when i did mine but nope, she runs strong! :D

Headgasket kit is something like $50 and its going to take 6-7+ hours of work if you do it yourself. If the gasket blew then the head may also be warped or cracked. Thats what happen to mine and I was quoted $1200-$1500 to fix it. I told them to shove it and got a zc:D

true dat

that is why i want to find a cheap non-running crx/hatch cause im just going to take the motor out anyways lol

wow i didnt know the head gasket would be so expensive. i dont even know what 1 is lol. what about white. do u think thats a good color for a crx? im really gettin excited about crx's. if i get a new motor what kind should i get and how much is it and repairs. should i get a vtec? im gonna invest a lot of money in this badboy

just started looking at crx's recently, only one local at a dealer, but to much for it. Found a couple 89 and 91 for about 3 grand private sellers

whatever you do don't buy anything with rust cause it'll cost too much money to fix.

Cause its the best damn lookin honda!;) Anyways back to the topic. Get it no matter what! If its an Si then its a great deal. Hows the body on the rex? Anyways dont bother repairin the engine. just swap in a b16 or if your low on funds and u need a ride quick then replace it with the same engine d16a6 or zc.

ford probes are nice...

ok so here are my options. i tlaked to my asian friend (him and his bro are obsessed w/ cars. he said if i just got the 200 dollar si crx towed to his house he would put on a new trnasmission and put in a b16 engine. the only problem is the engine is stolen he wont give me many details and the engine is from another city. he says theres only like 2 miles on it though. i really dont know. i trust him pretty well and all but i dont know. he would charge me like 1000 for the motor, i have to pay for the transmission and like 250-500 for all installation.

next: a kid is selling a crx. i dont have many details on this. hes done a lot of shit to it though. rims, intake, exhaust, body kit, new motor (no idea what) its a 2nd gen i believe not sure what year though. hes selling it for 4000

next theres a guy sellin 1 down the street for 1600. it is a stock auto dx and an 89. so whihc 1 should i choose. ill update u with details as soon as i get em.

i wouldnt mess with the stolen engine...not a good idea..

y not? he says it works and everything. : P maybe i should just get the 4000 dollar 1 and maybe i can talk him down a few bucks.

because if you get caught with a stolen engine, your fucked

i couldnt just say i bought it from some1?

you still have recieved stolen mechandise....which is an offense too, thats why most people are careful when they buy used stuff.
