Well, there's this 91 crx si for sale that I saw on a local forum. It said it has a b18a1 swapped in, 5 speed, body work needed, blue, body has like 344xxx kms on it (not sure about the motor) and its driveable. I checked out the car today, and its blue(looks like it was painted on trying to do a sad attempt at the $50 paintjob), lowered on something but the shocks are blown, it has some kinda sideskirts and front lip on it.

There's a dent in the drivers door, i think someone slightly ran into him, so you can't open the front door from the front, you need go open it through the hatch or passenger door. It has a shitty ractive exhaust, the tranny mount is cracked i believe and the shift linkage fell through, just need to bolt it back, and its ready to go. Apparently the bolt rattled off from the vibration of the car when the tranny mount broke. Well the guy is selling it for $400 canadian.


Right now I'm debating if I should buy it and fix it up, and resell it, since the limited number of crx's in the area are going for a good price. Or should I buy it and keep it as a car I can drive from time to time, or should I just stay away from it.


Reason im asking is because I'm like 16, I only have like a grand saved up from work..I was planning on buying an integra later on, but I feel like this crx will let me gain experience on working on cars first hand and would be a good way to make easy money, or would be a fun car to keep.

Do you guys think its worth 400 canadian? i only have 1000 saved up pretty much, so i might run out of money soon fixing the car. it may be my first car, so your opinions will help!!!!!
thanks

I ran that size on my last crx no rubbing issues at all.

 

Worst case scenario: You get it, find out it's not worth a damn, and part it out. You could sell the motor and tranny for almost what you paid for the car granted the tranny doesn't grind and the motor isn't fucked.

Everyone else, chime in.

 

Agreed.

that is true actually, didn't really think of it from that perspective, ah i don't know what to do, some say not to dump money into a pos, but i guess i can still make the money back from parting out the car

 

Yeah man, but if you really want an Integra, go for it. Don't settle. You'll kick yourself later on if you do. Be wise with your money, too!

I ran the same size wheels with 205/45-16's. No rubbing issues either. Then again, the rex wasn't slammed on the 16's.

Pic for reference...

I had 225/40?/16 on my old crx. Rubbed a little on the rear, but I just bent the inner lip on the fender up a hair and it was fine. Sorry no pics.

Clean up the wiring on the drivers side. I did it a few weeks ago, but re-did it because I forgot to include the wiring for the sidemarkers. Next up is the other side.

 

anyone got a picture Of the smoked clear tails that Questoys rhandy put on his whip?
