Hello everyone, wanted to see what the thoughts where on todays value of the 1990 Honda CRX Si. I have found a complete stock CRX that is in pretty good condition considering it's age. However, the car has over 300,000 miles and the motor has a bad rod bearing. It's a second owner car that has been driven by a older man to go back and forth to work where he drives about 50-60 miles one way. Has everything still with the car that it came with even the floor matts. He will not take no less then $2000 for it. So I know I don't have pictures at this time but does it sound like it's still worth the price he is asking for?

 

I'd say so.

Here that car would go for 5k

 

 

i guess it also depends where you live
where im from no ef is ever worth more than 900 bucks
it dosent matter matter if it has 1000hp and a new paint job its still a ef

in taxas you should be able to get a ef for less than 1000 running and in good shape
just gotta know where to look ^_-

 

 

I just bought a running '89 HF with 160,000 miles here in the Southeast for $800. I think I got a decent deal.

 

Well, I decided to pull the trigger on it, hope it was worth the money. Enjoy the pictures!

 

 

Hope you keep this totally stock. The mod's ones end up in junkyards and have no real value. the value is in stock

 

I am having a hard time telling myself to not put a B Series swap in it. I feel though the right thing todo is rebuild the original motor.

 

 

Going 4 wheeling in it?

Looks to be in great shape. Obviously, it's your car and do what you want with it, but stock is not nearly as much fun as a good modified rex. Value, schmalue - life is too short. Do the swap!

 

For sure. Very rare to find good condition CRX's anymore, I see them even less often than EF/EG.

Do the B swap IMO, it'll make the car more enjoyable not only to you but probably to most other enthusiasts that would be interested in the car as well. Plus if it's just a straightforward swap, done correctly with working amenities and no shoddy craftsmanship, it would be just like getting an OEM B16 CRX from the factory.

Just hang onto any OEM parts you swap or mod, and think twice before doing anything that isn't reversible.

 

Be honest, I really do like the B20 motors pair with a B16 tranny. If I did do a B Series swap then that would most likely be the route I go. Just a straight up easy simple swap for the most part with no shortcuts.

 

 

Been racking my brain with what I want to do engine wise but I think I want to keep it stock with some JDM goodies. However, if I run across a DOHC ZC then that might be another story but if I can't then I will rebuild the D16A6.

One thought I am having is if I rebuild the D16 then what kind of pistons could I use to pump the compression up some. Also, what other little things could I do to get a little more horsepower out of the rebuild?

 

Time to start a build thread! It looks like it needs some good TLC, but appears to be pretty clean and most importantly your lucky enough to be starting with a blank canvas

 

Well, here it is over a year and I have not done anything to the CR-X. I recently picked up a 1998 Civic Hatchback and have decided that I want to sell the CR-X. So if your interested in the CR-X then let me know as I will entertain reasonable offers. If your looking for a blank canvas to work on then here is your chance at one. I know it needs some TLC but hey, it's all stock and never modified!

 

Dang, if I hadn't just redone my hatchback I would jump on this one. I'm not too far from you either...

 

If I hadnt of sold my brothers 91 Si hatch parts car that i was keeping around until last fall, I would have bought it shipped it here, and put his motor in...
