since my CRX got rear ended I'm looking for a another 4th gen Civic or CRX. I found a light blue DX with 245,000 miles on it for 800. It's a 5-speed, with an excellent body and some camaro looking aftermarket black wheels. I haven't test drove it yet, but after all the crap I heard about the b16 swap being so hard into a DX I'm thinking I may not get it. So what do you think, good deal or not?

 

Whoever said that was probably a stunna y0...swaps into DXs are not hard, there are just 2 additional steps, swapping the hubs/knuckles for the larger spline ones of your choice, and adding more wires to the harness, both steps are nothing that add to the complexity of the swap, just take more time.

edit- just read your post and you said its a 5psd, so all u have to do is add the wiring, piece of cake pick that SOB up today

is the dx a standard? if its a dx that has 5speed....the hubs should work with the b16...the standard doesn't work for wat i have heard....

 

I just finished a swap on my 88 DX. Got all mounts and wiring harness from Hasport. It works ok, except for a couple of things...make sure that all the plugs on the harness are in good order or you have to reconnect some of the wires. Then another issue was the intermediate shaft...make sure they match your axles. check out hasport.com , it really made it a lot easier.
