Default OT: Bought yet "another" daily driver

That's right. Does everyone (who's been here as long as me) remember when I first posted when I bought my "daily driver" stock '92 CX? Well...that didn't happen. I ended up building that up and neglecting my ITR. Well, at least I have low mileage on my R still (11k). Well, I'm trying this again. I bought this car not running. I'm dropping my stock CX engine from my other CX...which is now a B18C1 hybrid.

I got a killer deal on it. I bought the car and I got a brand new A'pex-i N1 exhaust for $800! I'm trying to sell the exhaust if anyone is interested.

Here are some pics:











My hybrid (clean for once):

CX's rule! They are the lightest shell for a hybrid swap. I had a '94 B18C1 CX and she was all boogie!

No, the VX isn't lighter than the CX. The VX had a little more hp and believe it or not...it has VTEC. The CX is the lightest at 2155 lbs. No power anything.

the vx is lighter cuz it has aluminum wheels, while the cx has steelies. other than that, they weigh exactly the same.

Those are the weights for the whole car, not just the body. Body weights might be pretty similar

I still remember quite vividly when you were in employment troubles.

I'm glad you have turned it around.

I vote for you learning to drive your R on a big track instead of letting it waste away in the garage!

BudMan wants you on the big track ahhhh - then again, BudMan is an opinionated **** who is up to 93,561 miles on his daily driven/tracked R!

Budman ~ hey now...I DO know how to drive my R on a roadcourse. We have one here in my neck of the woods now as well. Problem is that I cannot afford new street tires AND race tires for my R. It's just not in my budget. I bought this car because I have a stock CX engine/tranny in my garage that ran fine. I could drop it in this CX and get it running...maybe even make a few bucks. Not to mention I have this brand new A'pex-i N1 exhaust for it I'm trying to sell too. Both of those factors made this deal a "must have".

full weight of a 92 cx and 92 vx are the same IIRC. 2094. Then the CX got "fatter" and the VX stayed at 2094. It's lighter in the later years no matter the reason.
