https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch. remember to search in the "CRX /EF CIVIC FORUM", archived as well as recent topics. If the <FONT COLOR="red">search</FONT> doesn't work well for you, try to post a specific topic so we all here can answer your questions quickly and correctly.

Police yourselves. Report a thread if it's turning into a huge flame fest, or if it's clear that there is misinformation or the thread is clearly in violation of the rule. The moderators are human and can't be here all day every day and catch everything.

I wouldnt buy this car, 2800 for an ef is alot, with 2800 you can get an eg. ZC isnt all that good, Id rather just go with a b series. If you really want an ef then try to bring the price down to 2000 or something at least. Im guessing with that asking price it better come with a good alarm and a nice sound system...

I got an clean, almost perfect EF for only 1800. CV boot was torn, hatch lift supports were shot, starter was a little weak. Absolutely no mods of any kind except for a new intake. I'd try for 2000 or lower for your... Ford Civic SI. Shoot the previous owner if you get the car...

no not for 2800. it worth about 1900. thats only becuz of the fog lights and the side markers. all that other **** you can get on ebay. the slips streams are ok.look at the exhaust it all crooked and whats up with the stickers everywhere. it has a ****** ford emblem on it. what the expletive was he thinkin.lol but.... i would give him and even 2000 and give him back the tranny. **** i just sold my other 91 si w/b16a bar certified with way more goodies than that for 3900.

hmm and why arnt the ZC'S not all that good? from my perspective its a awesome engine single or dual cam but the car is a little high priced i would shoot for 2200 or less seeing that the miles are not that high from what i have seen from my previous crx's

y is he only showing u the driver side???? probably looks like poop on the passenger side.... and yeah way overpriced, i wouldnt even give him 2,000 especially if the trans is shot. im picking up a 91 si crx w/ sohc zc, black rotas, power windows and locks, pager alarm and lots more stuff for 1,300. so that guy is on crack with that price.

your first problem is that its a ford probe=P
but really it seems overpriced to me.
buy a cheaper one and do the swap yourself and youll save dough
