Default 2 CRX's keep em or sell?

I have 2 CRX HF's. The one in the pics is the slightly better of the 2 in my opinion. I baught the first one thinking I was going to build it up. But decided to wait and see if anything better came around. But I also have my truck and my project 86 Toyota MR2 and don't have the space for all 4 vehicles. I was thinking I could probably get about $2,000 total for both of the CRX's.

But then again I kinda want to keep em. Granted they won't touch most V8's and AWD's from a stop light because of traction, but I don't really need them too. My MR2 will take care of that.

I've owned nothing but muscle cars, RWD cars, and turbo AWD cars since day 1. So I never have problems beating most of what's on the street and at the races. After several years of this, I finally grew tired of all the Honda guys crying about turbo this, AWD that, muscle car this, RWD that. So I baught the CRX. I figured I would put in an LS or B16 and through some decent parts on it and beat them at their own game.

Personally I don't really care for Honda's and would rather use the car for "Dukes of Hazzard" style stunts but I wanna shut everyone up before I take this thing off any jumps or dirt roads.

What do you guys think I otta do?







This was the first one I baught. It's been sitting at my friends shop for the last 2 months waiting for me to decide what to do with it. As you can see it's primer black and thanks to the dirt road next to the shop, it's very dirty.

Don't trash one of our own. There are getting more and more rare. Put them on ebay and get your money and someone will get a car they like.
If you want to jump a car go buy one of those Chargers.
If you weren't in Cali I would buy them.

Screw all that dude. If you want to make some money and are not really into Honda's then part your CRX out. Parting out the 2 CRX's will make you more than 2k especially if one's an Si.

Don't be a shitstick, sell them to someone who loves them and then go back to your AWD/RWD/muscle shirt cars/mullet hobby and leave the Honda love to us.

I just added this to the original post. But this is the first one I baught. As far as the engine goes, this one runs a little better. The white one runs great at part throttle and try's to bog at full throttle. So it probably needs a new TPS. The CV joints need to be replaced on both cars. This is assuming that the stock engine/tranny combo will be staying in the car.

The body and interior on the white one is better though. This one has the carpeting stripped out. This one also has fiberglass fenders. The driver side fender is cracked.

It's been sitting at my friends shop for the last 2 months so as you can see it's very dirty.

First person to come up with $500 gets the primered black one. Hurry though. I'm getting lots of offers from people on this site. We can discuss the white one but I really need to get rid of the black one before I start getting billed for storage.

+1, Sell both CRX's, STFU, and get the F off this site, since you already have the fastest car in the world.
