Swap wheels and trade then. Is this really that complicated?

It is do to the springs on my car and tire size w rims required. He'd have to find something that fit appropriately without rub.

Trades are a bad idea unless you know the car and the person you're getting the car from pretty well.

If you were in Japan they would both be EF's. The CRX is an "EF"... I keep getting reminded why I don't frequent this section any more.

I dunno, i've traded before with good results. The ef has quite abit of work put into it vs the crx being just a base swap. Drove the CRX, drives nice, int is straight, body kinda rough but mine is not perfect either.

Just torn on if i really want to part with this ef already and start with a base crx or not.

Crx is more specific. He said nothing outlandish.

Hard to say. You will miss the extra doors and back seat, but if you're single the crx is hard to beat. We are not in Japan, so that point is moot. My crx is an ED...

rickety, i dunno always wanted a crx only reason i kinda want to do this, but then i look at the work on the sedan vs the rex and wonder if i'm selling myself short.

I tend to stay away from trades.. usually the motive for trading is to con someone into believing your vehicle is more desireable than theirs, which is usually a bag of lies. Otherwise, why would anyone trade if they're vehicle was better....

And then you've got your legit traders... but they're far and few between.

My experience anyway.

And I kinda thought the opposite..

CRX has duct tape on the front bumper, trim is painted, swap really isn't an upgrade IMO, suspension looks like it has positive camber in the rear and some BRO owns it (meaning he's probably more into the looks than actual drivability) .. If the interior is complete and it has A/C then go for it. But he'd have to throw cash my way if it were me..

EDIT: didn't read where you have a pretty fresh engine too.. The last year they made the ZC was like 89? So how many miles does that swap really have? Id keep what I had just because I would know exactly whats going on under my hood..

The crx is so friggn glamorized... and a zc is not something to write home about.

I'd say sport the 4dr. Sedans ftw.

I prefer CRX's and yet I still think your sedan is better, probably just because you actually listed your mods. Plus your bay looks decent

Yea I think I'm not going to do it, just going to put the little extra money my car needs into it. She needs a proper re-wire something i'm not really good at (tried to fix a issue i've had for awhile with no go) (CPS at 75-90 MPH car goes into limp mode new dizzy installed)

Rewire should fix it i believe as my harness was kinda "hacked" up.
