I'm about to trade my 1989 CRX with a B16 and Skunk2 pro s coils for a stock 240sx plus $500. Both have clean titles and both are clean cars. The 240 has 120xxx miles and my CREX has 227xxx. Do you think this is a good trade?

KA's are weak, and s13's(drift cars in general)are a $ pit. but yea its fair u got power **** now...

i'd keep the b16 rex but if you dropped a sr20 in there it'd haul some nice ***,Goodluck man

Well its either trade plus $500, or he is gonna sell his 240 and buy my crx for 4500.

If he wants to buy your crx for $4,500 I would sell it but I wouldn't trade it.

why not?

omg yeah. no way i'd pay 4500 for a 240. if your car is worth that much, keep it till a better deal comes along. if the 240 was already swapped, sure i'd do it. but a stock one? and your car IS swapped? nope, don't do it.

^^^^^^ x2 your motor and suspension are already done and you have a clean bodied crx;Sell it for $4500 and look around after IMO

Agreed^^^a 240sx is only good if the powerplant is a sr20 or a rb swap.

89crxsi89

ok. i could prolly get a 240sx and a rb25det for 4500 right?

crxfreak1117

to each his own... i which own both cars a crx and s13 coupe, and wouldnt waste my money on a sr or rb. not sayin there not good motors just sayin why would you spend so much money when you can boost the ka and have alot more torque and be just as reliable if tuned.

both are great cars and if you want to trade then trade i see the s13 is a SE which has power windows and sunroof, is it a auto or manual?

89crxsi89

its a manual. how much does it cost to boost a ka?

a ka isn't really a motor worth boosting. but, it sounds like you already made your mind up. its a waste, honestly it is. you could sell your crx for 4500 bucks, then look around on ebay or even craigslist and find a sweet deal on a 240. a few months ago, i saw an sr20det swapped 240, with a slivia front end conversion, needed NOTHING, already done, for 3 grand. it was a 95 at that. i'm telling you, if you trade, you WILL be disappointed in it. you would be trading a fairly fast car, for a definately slow car. bad trade if you ask me.

sell your car for the 4500. S13's are not worth much (overpriced to the drifting craze which is already showing signs of popularity decrease). you could buy an S14 with the money from your CRX sale. i vote keep the CRX or sell it, dont throw your money away by trading it.

89crxsi89

Yea I understand that. I see so many 240's that have such crap interior. When I saw this one, with leather, I just got excited cause the interior was nice. Do you think the 4500 is a decent price for my car?

crxfreak1117

you must not have seen many boosted ka's then its really what the person wants everyone wants a sr becuase its turbo'd and think its hot **** only when you spend a few grand on the swap and only gain what 40hp?

a have alot of friends with boosted 240's both ka and sr and once the sr guys have seen what the ka's can do they regret buying the sr. for example friend has a s14 (kouki) with just a piston and rod kit making 540hp and sold the turbo to go bigger like i said before to each his own

i think 4500 for a s13 is pretty steep you could buy a s14 for that much or sell the crx and find a cheaper one and build and boost it under 4500

if you wanna find out more on ka's if your interested check out www.ka-t.org they have alot of great stuff on the site i have a few build threads on there since im doin ka-t right now also

89crxsi89

Yea I think I'm gonna take the cash. and get something. I'm not set on a 240. If I can find one that has nice interior. my crx has really nice interior and I don't think i could have a car with crap on the inside

mikaela

Not worth it, they understeer like a bitch.

apekd

dude i would sell it and not trade it. Get the 4500 and then buy a better car than that.

TeamRedline89Hatch

My brother did the exact opposite, sold his 240 with S13 front end and bought a stock CRX lol.



Don't mind the decorations, it was for a car show lol.

ALLxMOTOR EG

Is your b16 stock?

Because $4,500 for a stock b16 crx is alot.

But if he is willing to put out $4,500 for your car then do it in a hearbeat.

KA turbo's are beasts. Think about it, if you want big reliable numbers, once you buy the SR20 in the first place, you still have to buy a new turbo manifold, bigger turbo, bigger injectors, internals, and then tune it. Do the same to a 2.4L block and i see no way the SR has an advantage. It's an engine that already comes in the car!

and lol@jhammond_82 for saying a B16 rex is a "fairly fast car"

By the way RWD>FWD

89crxsi89

Yep bone stock on the inside.
