hey guys, well i dont really know that much about cars. All i like is driving fast. Well i bought this 1988 crx, skunk2 coils, stage 2 clutch, no ac no system for 3500, i just want some suggestions if u guys have any, and is it a good price for 3500? and when the car is on neutral, it revs up and down from 1-2 rpm, is that bad?...

 

seems pretty expensive to me

 

why is that?

 

I guess 'cuz I could find one here with a swap already in place for 3k? Ofcourse when adding it up, i suppose it's not such a bad deal, but it stills seems kinda pricey, but maybe it's just my area, and it's different where you are?

 

well its got a swaped motor

 

if it runs good, is clean title, and reffed... i'd say its a good price.
personally, i'd swap out all the red stuff for OEM parts.

besides that, i'd say you got a decent car.
obviously you thought it was worth that much, because you bought it, right?

 

sounds like u have a vacuum leak...

dude, it's a $500 difference.

comparing two cars that are NOT identical over that little bit of money is rediculous.

 

anyone know why does it revs up and down from 1-2.5 rpm, it bothers me.

or the fitv (fast idle thermal valve) could even happen with an air bubble in your coolant system.

 

icic, umm, is it gonna cost much if i bring it to a mechanic and let them fix it?....

 

that one's a little ricey though, I'm talking clean cars, with clean swaps, ofcourse who knows if they'd pass a bar thingy, which in my opinion, if I was living out there, I'd fork it over for a legal swap

 

damn, thats cheap compared to Australia. i paid 4g for a ef7 with d16a8 standard.

 

Not a bad price, considering how much a clean rex would cost to buy, and then swap..

 

I'd say not a bad price. Ditch all the Speed Racer BS that is all over that thing. It looks fairly clean.

 

Good price

Sounds like you have a vaccum leak, or something wrong with the FITV or IACV.

yup yup.

yeah, good price for a clean B16 rex, and yeah, take off all the boy racer **** all over it!

 

unless no one has noticed hondas have gone up in cost !! i saw a mint clean crx si cross ebay for allmost 8 grand .....
sad thing is they are only gonna go up they are all rusted or destroyed by morons ....

the EF has become to honda what the 67 camaro is to chevys if you know what i mean ....

 

maybe just a SLIGHT bit overpriced, but i would probably have bought it too.

being that I own a 67 Camaro I have to disagree with that statement. While in it's hey-day the Camaro was a cheap hot-rod. now try finding a good car for less than 20K. And some of the rare cars are bringing over 100K. No crx will ever be worth that much

Dont. If you have to bring a swapped motor to a mechanic for a weird idle, please sell the car and get a hyundai.

It doesnt sound like dude knows a whole lot when it comes to swapped motors so what other choice does he have? Im in his area...so i could look at it/fix it for cheap

 

hey does that weird idle stop when you turn on the heater.... my cuzin crx did that for a while ... i think he figured it out ... but i forgot what he said it was...

 

Well you think a complete swap with mounts and after all the extra wire and parts necessary to complete a b16 swap it normally costs around 2300, so that would leave a difference of 1200 which would be for the rest of the car and the is what clean rex, its not ricey its all stock with a paint job and steering wheel I wish my rex was that clean

 

i dont think thats a bad pirce really, car looks really clean and i know a couple of peoples cars that rev up when its stopped. anyways i like the car god pick
