thinking of buying a crx

[Lamentforpuppets]

after reading up on how "easy" it is to make a crx a decently quick car with an b16a engine swap i thought this may be a cheap way ( only way acceptable) to buy my first car.. considering that this will be a 10year or older car i should get an insurance discount right?.. so how bad would insurance be since im only 18?.. it would be considered a sport coupe no?.. currently im driving a 1990 isuzu pup.. so i doubt ill get as good of an insurance rate.. if u think i should be looking at something different buying my first car suggestions are welcome

It depends on where you live and what your current driving record looks like. Any CRX will be at least 13 years old.

I'm 17 with one ticket (65 in 55) and after getting a bunch of discounts because it's on my parents insurance, it only costs me $95/month, and that's including a 30% increase from the ticket.

[Lamentforpuppets]

well damn 95/month sounds good... i have one ticket bout a year ago 19 over.. shouldnt be much more right?... so next question.. si or hf?... ive heard hf is a better platform to start from its lighter and maybe i made this up but easier to do a swap with?... but the si is better for a daily driver? and how much would you pay for one/ how do you find them?

I say if you plan on doing a swap anyways pick up an hf, itll be lighter, not much, but like i said might as well if your just gonna swap out the engines, every bit counts...........

man i used to pay 240 a month for inurance for my crx and accord i think i pay like 60 a month now for 3 cars

I have an HF and I like it 'cause it's lighter than the others, but don't get it unless you are for sure you are going to get a motor swap 'cause it's slow asa hell stock. And just don't think you can crap a b16 in there, there is no "easy" to it. I hope you are doing the whole swap yourself, 'cause if not it's gonna cost double the price you're gonna pay for the car I can tell you that. Just for the parts your looking at $1500. But good choice anyway I love CRX's! If you are up north or on the beach, make sure you get one with no rust or a little as possible, the most famous spots are around the rear quarter panels and back end.

It depends on what you want? If you just want a sports car to play with then get an HF with a swap that's tuned right with suspension and limited comfort mods. Remember it isn't lighter anymore if you add shit to it... ex. big system or big rims. If you want a car with compartments for crap and a sunroof (note: CRX sunroofs are solid and angle out of the roof like many sport coupes unlike the roll under glass roofs). Also, the Si is a nice car stock so a few mods can make it fast. I had a rebuilt stock engine with high compression and it was awesome. I didn't give a crap about swaps or anything with it and I drove it everyday with a system, and rallied it beating the crap out of it until it blew the engine and caught on fire. Still rolling in it with new Si engine with some bolt-ons. The DX is a good "in-between" car cuz I believe they have A/C (like the Si) but are slow with the DPFI 1.5L but with a nice swap you have a decent ride that is street capable. Check e-bay or autotrader to find one.
