1997 HX???
A guy's a buddy of mine told me he would sell me his 1997 at HX coupe for $800 bucks...
Now what im wondering is it something Good to start with. (project wise)??? Would a Y8 mt swap be a nice simple swap? |
Re: 1997 HX??? (-16V-)
800 bucks...what is the condition????
Anyway I think HX's are decent cars. Maybe because I have one but that is beside the point. I wouldnt swap the whole motor unless you plan on doing somehting serious with the car... |
Re: 1997 HX??? (-16V-)
at that price that would be a good cheap project car. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

was this car hit by a semi then bombed right before it was cut in half? 800 bucks for a 97 hx!!!! if ur not gonna buy it then i will!!!!!!!
byw there is no such thing as a "nice and simple swap" imo, if ur gonna swap a motor just go a lil further and drop a b-series in it. |

Re: (h22ejcoupe)
Thats a hell of a deal. Make sure it runs but even if it doesnt for $800 thats worth it.
If you get it and want to get rid of your rims, Im me! |
Re: (LankorDie)

He's buying a explorer sport trac.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif It's in outstanding shape. When he told me $800 bucks i said OMFG (in my head) and told yea i'll take it. |

Re: (specv5150)
if you dnt want it i will take it. if it has the hx rims then even better. It is one of the lightest coupes of the era. Also you get Pw/PL and ac, PS, unlike the dx.

You can also just put a y8/z6 head on it and a ex ecu, and intake mani, then get a vafc and set the vtec way down low. |
Re: (h22ejcoupe)
thats a great deal https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
as for suggestions of what to swap, first you need to decide what it is that you want from the car. Do you want to make it into a track whore, have it as a daily driver with an occasional trip to the drag strip or occasional auto x? If you just want a simple daily driver and want it to be reliable, just leave the stock engine in there since its in perfect condition already. If you want to spice things up just a bit just add your basic bolt ons, msd, clutch, a nice suspension, good set of wheels bla bla bla. Just make sure the car is m4d tyT3 JdM y0! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif |

Re: (sohcvtec1995)
I'd pay that if the car didnt have a motor. Lightest coupe of that bodystyle. If it still has the HX rims, keep them and never get rid of them! Excellent chassis to work with. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
