90Rex Si

[Jos4DCivic]

A guy where i live is selling a 90 crx SI. he wants $1500 for it. i test drove it and the motor drove good.the clutch didnt grab till i was about all they way off it (needs a new clutch soon im guessing). its got a thermal exhaust and a couple tiny dings here and there. passenger window has trouble rolling up. its got a sunroof. also he must of cut the suspension cause it is bouncy as hell and harsh ass ride on stock rims. got 145 thousand. as for interior, got a couple little marble size tears on door panel but other than that its alright. wondering if it is worth it. what you guys think from what i have explained? I want to get it and have it as my project car. maybe even put suspension and what not from 4d onto rex.

Thats not to bad of a price, I would try talkin him down, but if he wont go down, I would prolly go for it. 145thou is not to bad, it should go for another 60thou as long as you dont run the hell out of it, and the clutch problem could just be that the clutch cable needs to be adjusted

[Jos4DCivic]

gonna try to talk him down. with cash in hand he might go lower. if not i might still go for it. dunno if i should though

sounds like a decent deal... I paid 2500 for mine off ebay with similar situation only with built up motor that burnt oil, some showy STR parts, painted pieces, etc. but with the same bouncy susupension, small rips, dings,etc. And I'm on my second engine, have driven the bejesus out of it and it's still daily driven. Granted, it took about a grand to replace what was needed when I first got it but that built motor burning oil with advance cam timing 2 degrees lasted a whole year b/f it blew up. I'd say if the motor is stock give him a grand in cash... good luck

I would get it sounds like a good deal I paid 2500 for my 91 dx hatch with less miles but everything is so much more expensive in CT

[Jos4DCivic]

gonna offer him 1000 and see what happens

went to talk with guy and asked to see under the hood. he doesnt know shit about cars let alone what motor it has. his brother gave it to him. opened up the hood to find it has a B18A1 and a YS1 tranny. of course he doesnt know how many miles on are on engine or tranny but it looks clean. clutch might be needing replacing but i would have engine/tranny rebuilt anyhow. and as for suspension, it is slammed. a front control arm makes all kinds of noise.had my uncle who works on cars take a look at it. he told me it was a good deal if it would pass smog. The guy dont know if it will cause his bro gave it to him and he hasnt drivin it or knows nothing about it. what you all think?

[90civicracer]

Get it and fix it. If you are getting a car that runs with a b18a1 and a ys1 tranny for 1500, or even cheaper, JUMP ON IT.

[Jos4DCivic]

would it be worth pulling and rebuilding it ? also how many HP this motor have?

[Ace$nyper]

130hp in the b18a and i say gof for it mate!

[Jos4DCivic]

is it vtec?

[Ace$nyper]

b18a no its not VTEC nor is it a phone

[90civicracer]

b18a and b18b are both non-vtec. However, b18c1 (gsr) and b18c5 (type-r) do have vtec.

take it for $1,000 then resell for 2 grand on ebay. I think it would really go... If it was the stock motor i'd say dont go over 1k if its that bad but yah since its not, go for it.

[Jos4DCivic]

he wont go lower than $1500. good deal or naw?
