sorry about long post...here some more
I'm not planing to do a swap for at least another year or no swap at all.
Is gonna be my beater(I have a 1st gen legend as beater which my dad gonna
sell(??), and my daily driver is my 02 accord coupe)
Prolly some bolt ons, and some rota and that's it.
what the heck is "HF" anyway?

I bought a 1991 Civic Si hatch today with a ZC motor for 1200, no rust, no major body damage, just some fading paint and some riceys stickers.

Si = sunroof and 108hp D16A6. Heavier. Black interior, better seats. 90 and 91 CRX Si had rear disk.

I had an 88 HF with those lower control arms. You say that my struts/coilovers won't fit on my 91 Civic Si I bought right? Can I put those control arms on my Si and use the struts then?

Fu_k the hf..finally dig up another deal around here..
1500+- for a SI 90
much cleaner body, new paint(2-3years)
5speed with some ghetto pep boy rims..

I might get it like this weekend..

deep deeeeeeep dish 3 piece works..1200 per piece.

Sorry to bring this zombie post to life once again...
the si is sold to some rice boy about 2300-2400
way too much imo.
in other hand hf dropped price to 999..
is 999 expensive for a crx shell?
dont get me wrong..it still move.
How much would be a b16 with installation cost in Socal..
est. price and labor.
thank you

if you do your own work...i believe the going rate for a whole swap is somewhere around $1500...dont quote me on this, as i have been known to be wrong when i post late at night

$999 is alot better than $1500.. I got my 90 STD Hatch for $550. Body is in pretty good shape and there are no rust spots. If your planning a swap I would find a car that is in the best shape as far as the body goes. Doesn't sound too clean from the description.
