Default What would YOU do with an '84rex?

Is an 84 worth fixin' up? It has a little bumber damage. Some rust spots. less then 170k. It seems to be running fine. But I honestly haven't had the time to do a true instepection on it. But it was a free car and it was a rex. I have an 88 si that I want to do a swap on when i have the spare cash. But from what i've been told it's to much to sawp the A6 from the 88 into the 84. The 84 is not SI (not sure if they had SI in 84). Look foward to hearing any ideas. If any

I would light it on fire, then shoot it, then hang it, then tar and feather,and THEN kill it,

then I would put a for sale sign on it.

Then someone would buy it, put an exhaust on it, and go street racing with it.

Chop all the body parts off, weld on a cage, put a nice sparco seat(meaning it will hold you in place, not look pretty) with a 5pt. harness, and go out and have fun in the fields

you need the fuel system out of an SI to do a swap.

brown top d16a1 can work, b-series will work with parts from hasport.

little weight info:

1984 Honda CRX DX MT 1819
1984 Honda CRX HF MT 1713
1985 Honda CRX Si MT 1883
1985 Honda CRX DX MT 1819

Eh . . . why not just stick with carbs?

A pair of Weber DCOEs or side-draft Mikunis would be fun on a D16.

There was actually a d16a1 86-87 Integra that came with carbs overseas.

Rare. But will drop right in.

Otherwise dropping the Si motor in with some carbs and engine work.

or

Convert all of your wiring over to Si (somewhat difficult) and then drop whatever mtoor you want in it the 86-87 integra pmfi will drop right in and the si motor. other then those 2 you will be doing even more wiring for electric advance dizzy.

I have a 88 HF LS/Vtec and a 87 DX. I put this Weber carb on the 87

http://www.carburetion.com/web...l=CRX

and it runs stronger than my brother in law's stock 90 CRX Si. Still gets the same 42-43 mpg.

I had a 84 1.5 back in the 80's until I ran into a horse on the way home from work.

I like em. There great cars. It's nice to have something around that is absolutely reliable, gets great mileage and is fun to drive.

The only thing is all the 84's are two tone. I think they look best a single color. So get it painted.

I would sell it. Seriously too much work for what you want or will want to do with it.

I'm running this same carb on a browntop zc in my 87 RT4wd Wagon. I agree, it pulls harder than my CRX did when it was stock. It has the sewing machine like precision revability of a dohc Honda but it spits, snarls and roars like an italian roadster. A very cool combo if you ask me.

If you put a 32-36 DGEV (or better yet a 38 DGES) carb and an aftermarket cam on the stock engine, it will be a beast. You're talking about roughly $500 in parts.

And even if it needs a new engine...they're dirt cheap.
