Default Should i sell my DA for an EF hatch or CRX???

Opinions wanted of those with an EF! I like the old school look, and if i get an EF/CRX most likely i will go for the mugen body kit (only kit i will ever put on a car...and the only car i will ever put a kit on)...what u guys think?? should i sell the DA??

I wanted to know the same thing, i love da's but i love crx's to, i have both, i dont know wich one i should build, the crx is lighter, and theyr'e getting harder to find in good shape, but the da is more comfy and power everything, already b series, good for a daily driver i guess. I cant keep both, and im ripping my hair out trying to decide which one to build.

of course you are going to get some biased answers here. I love DA's. If you want an all out track ***** then go with an EF, as someone stated earlier they are lighter. But damn for a sick daily driver you cant beat the comfort and power everything of an Acura...

Ditch that big heavy da, they do make good daily drivers though.

why dont u drive a crx first and then decide what u think is better...
i find it amazing how people will decide what they want to do with THERE cars based upon what people tell them...ur the one driving make ur own decision

if u like how ef hatches/crx look do sum shopping around...i see clean as hatches going for like 500 bux all the time on craigslist.... rexes are a little harder to find but if ur persistent u will find exactly what ur looking for..

DAs are too heavy anyway

Would it be hard to swap to a b-series and install a/c on the crx? That would be sweet!

yeah it will limit the choice of header that you get if its some CRAZY *** N/A Bisi header or a turbo header. Otherwise you SHOULDNT have a problem.

You should try this in the DA section. Of course we're going to tell you to get the EF. If the DA people tell you to get the EF then you know what you need to do

In my opinion i think you should go for what' fit's your taste. I drove my brother's DA9 and my CRX . and o yeah its a big difference im small and i like old cars i love my crx cause i can swing it around easily and its pretty light but yeahz its fun if u got a swap to hehehe . . thats just me. . . go for " what you like "

Stock B18A, extra seats (CRX is a 2 seater), bigger hatch area, not bad gas mileage... I can't see why you would want to unless you are hardcore about your car being light with a short wheel base.

IMO the only thing a EF has over a DA is gas mileage and wieght. Although, I have owned 2 EF's before and I still do love them, but would rather get a DA due to all of the above.

Yeah but having no AC, no power windows, probably no sun roof, probably no top light things, etc will SUCK, and the DA has kinda spoiled me with all that lol...should have gone for the ef first!
