that car is pretty damn clean.. does it have a clean title? anything wrong with it.. does it have rust.. gotta look for the usual.. i guess 3500 isn't bad... i personally wouldn't pay more than about 2500 for it.. but thats just me..

just ordered a car fax today.. should recieve it tonight.. if it turns out ok.. then looks like i'll pick it up..

this is going to be my 4th h-car... i went from a 97 rs teg (totalled), 98 itr (totalled), 93 eg cx (daily).. but always wanted an 88 hf.. not really fond of the eg.. but i couldn't pass up a good deal.. but it actually grew on me.. i still have my itr motor/tranny.. which is now fully built.. it was gonna go in the eg.. but if i do get it...????

hard to see from the pics but..it looks pretty damn clean and straight and the jdm front is a + ...i would try and talk them down a bit on the price but i would expect them not to budge very much...you never know till you get there how people are gonna be

you also have to think, the jdm front end conversion is almost $1k in itself.

I'd do it man.

yup.. craigslist.. he's located in fresno.. so i gotta make the 2 hr trip.. it was originally posted for 4000.. but yea.. when i do the math.. it seems like a good price.. for what its worth.. compared to if i where start from scratch...

clean titile 88 hf $1000-$1500 white no rust or major dents if im lucky
jdm front with cf lip $1129 @ password which is out of stock
fresh paint- $1000-$2000 depending on where u go
black si interior- varies...

i'll see if he is willing to bring it down a lil..

gotta question.. with an si motor/tranny swap in an hf.. do you have to use si/dx axles with hubs?..or hf hub and axle is ok..??


just got the car fax report.. looks like it is clean as a whistle.. 1988 Honda Civic CRX HF!!

ef bargaining days are over, you find one, you have the cash, you buy it. Only if it meets the standards... This doesnt apply to every ef, only the clean ones.
