Default Weight=worth it?

Sup peoples!!! I'm a new guy so bear with me. I got an old 90' 4-door shell takin up space and I was wonderin if it was worth the $$$ to drop a B18a in it. Body's in good shape(no pics tho). I know its heavier than the rex, but with the 4-door stripped naked would it be worth it?

Can prolly grab a motor for 5-600, mounts and linkage for like 300, y'know the rest

Weight specs--Civic 4-door vs. CRX
I searched for a minute before I asked , so don't beat me up too bad!!!

If you have the money to do it. Build it. That would be a super cool car. There was a 4dr in Honda Tuning several months back.

I would keep the interior, but it's been stripped for a for a while, the guy I got it from thought he was racer, but he wasn't really bright. Prolly only dropped 75 pounds. Anybody know where I can get a deal on full interior (grey or blue) back dash, door panels, etc., I need everything

Car is 90 civic ex

You suck! The good thing is you can bolt ITR calipers onto your spindles no problem for big brakes!

When I went from a '90 Civic EX to a '89 CRX dx (both with the same B16) the 1/4 mile time dropped by close to a full second.
