Default 2 Crx's...Which should I choose!

Ok I have found this crx and I was wondering what you guys thought. Heres the stats on the car.

91k on the shell
b18a full swap with 60k miles
exedy stage 1 clutch
2 new advance auto parts axles
poly motor mounts
header
blox intake manifold
full 2.5" exhaust
tokiko blues struts
H&R springs
16" konig villain wheels

I could probably pick the car up for 2200 cash. But the thing is I am looking for a crx that can be my dd. I drove this car and I was not to found of the clutch. It was a very stiff clutch. Making the car fun but just not something you would want to drive everyday to work and back.

Now, I also know where a crx is that my buddy is finally willing to sell me. It is pretty much bone stock 91 si with 140k. Mint and I mean MINT interior, with alittle bit of bodydamage on the shell. He is willing to let it go for 300 cash. The only bad this iiiissssss that it needs a new clutch. Or so he says.....he clams that the car will start up but when you put it in gear it will not go anywhere. Would that be the clutch?

Anyways...just wondering which car do you guys think I should pick up?

go with your buddy's.. take the extra money and get a swap to your liking! or fix up the body, and a simple swap like a b16.

If you can afford to drop down $2200 on the first one, what's another $300 for a second one?

In other words, get both!

I was really thinking about that...but I hate to just kill a prefectly good crx.
I was thinking about using the stock one as just my dd and the one with the LS as my toy.

yeah...... take both of em. buy a clutch for each of em...

swap the b18 into the cleaner crx, put the d16a6 into the other one, and sell it for a profit.

.... or keep it.

x2 , please Do Not kill a good Rex .
If nothing else buy both and swap a good clutch in the stock rex and then swap out the interior with the 2500 rex so you have the minty fresh interior. Then sell the plain rex to a GOOD home !
This is a win , win for you. You get the clean interior and make some bread on selling a fine honda.
