If the price is right I think I might just pick up a CRX. I have about $5200 to work with and if I got a CRX I would be swapping in a B16 almost immediatly. What price range would I be looking at for a CRX with high miles but a good exterior/interior?

 

Well in Cali A decent crx that hasn't been **** on will run you about $4000. $5000-5500 would get you an immaculate one and sometimes one thats decent with a swap. $6000 on up and a crx will typically be swapped, spotless, and hooked up with some extra goodies.

 

damn 5 gs for a si that is alot nowdays... you could find one for 3 g arund here.. monterey bay all up to sf bay

 

Yes, I am sure you could. CRX's are a dime a dozen at 3g. 5g's I am talking showroom, zero probs. There are very, very few of these vehicles left out there that are in prime shape stock with full clean int/ext that haven't been destroyed one way or another. They (CRX) are getting closer and closer to becoming classics every day. For 3g I wouldn't even expect a clean ashtray at this point in time. I have seen some that look like total crap inside and outside for that amount in CA. It all depends on how picky you are. As for myself, I am a perfectionist. I would prefer to pay an additional amount for a car that has been well taken care of.

my 90 civic si was $1,575. some minor hail damage but everything else was nice. low miles for an old school honda: 135,000. so i was pleased.

 

Man, Johnny, since Im your cult leader you should let me drive your SI... Ill hit at least a 15.8 I promise... LOL! Thats good times for it, but with a little better driving you could hit 15's easy... lower that baby and throw on the boost and you will own!

 

Ive gotten my last 3 for 1700,1800, and 2500 (with a blown engine but with a quaife LSD, AEM, bored TB, Mugen bushings, sways, pedals, and a bunch of extras) I bought them in IL, and WI. 1st was a little rusted. 2nd had no rear seats and the spedo didnt work. 3rd had a tad bit of rust but all those goodies.

My advice. Dont be afraid to take a road trip to get a solid car.

I live in California (Near Los Angeles) and paid 1800 for my 89 SI. It's a clean, complete, one owner, stock car. The only "problem" is that when I bought it, there was 300,000 miles on it. I don't care due to the fact that I'm planning on an LS engine (and trans) swap. What amazes me is that I've added another 8,000 miles on it and it still runs fine. I think that the fact that the original owner had ALL recommended dealer service done means a lot. (he gave me a very large stack of receipts that went all the way back to when it was new)

+ - $2500

 

yes, the turbo is coming first and then the springs. if you lived around here i would definatly let you try it out. i know it should hit 15's which is why im taking it back out the 30th, ive gotta hit 15's NA.......thats my goal.

 

I'd expect to pay anywhere from $3000 to $5000 for a nice one (nice being no rust, no rips in the interior, and a good running engine). You might get away with spending less if you live in an area that doesn't salt the roads.

 

I dont care if the engine only has 3 pistons, Im putting in a b16 right away.
