hi i have only been into imports for about 1 year now i know im a noob but i have done 4 motor swaps and just little pettie **** but anyway my friend john is selling his crx to get an ep3 and i was wondering if you think its worth it
1991 honda crx si
swapped b16a
i/h/e
battery relocated to back
gutted in rear
carpet,seats,dash,door pannels all in great condition
sunroof
we cut the ac lines out when we done the swap
he wants 4000 for it and i know he hasnt dogged on it and he has only had the swap done a few months but he wants a new si so bad i dont know why
but i was wondering if it is worth it and he said he will throw in a bran new set of 17in. helliums and nitto z rated 40 series tires for 750 and my head unit so just want someone elses opinion
thanks alot ahead of time

 

$4000 is pretty reasonable if the body is clean. i would stay away from the 17" wheels, unless you like slow acceleration. (oxymoron.) what mount kit, and what kind of shape are the suspension bushings in?

 

suspension is completely stock but is tight as hell we take the sharp turns in my little town fast as hell and not a sign of slipping and thats with stock 14s and 4or5year old proxes but the 17s dont sound like a bad idea because hes tranny is geared so low would it make that big of a dif. and yea the body is good it also has either edm or jdm si wing or sir

 

thats a good price for a 91 crx w/ swap especially you know the owner. They go for $4000 stock motor around here (Bay Area).

 

thanks alot guys ive desided to get it and as soon as i get the keys ill post up some pics

 

Just an opinion on the 17's, aside from the fact that the bigger the wheels the slower the acceleration, they simply just look too big on a CRX. IMO, 16's are pushing it. I would save the 750 and put that all in suspension. Ground Controls and some Koni Yellows seem to do the job right.

That sounds good. Drop it on some Slipsteams on something
