Okay, i've grown tired of my old crx, and i know that i'm probably goign to get some heat off this question, but I want to know if that's a feasible ideal, I want specifically a black 5th gen and i've got a b16'd crx si, with rust on the quaters, but it is a brand new swap, it has new rotors all the way around, new radiator, all the suspension bars, and skunk2 springs and kyb gr-2's and a gsr gauge cluster. oh and a 2 inch mandrel bent exhaust system. I just want to do a straight up trade. Do you think that i'll be able to get it?

 

You might be able to find someone to swap you. But why would you get rid of a cool car for a pig?

 

what the hell man... u just spent all that money and time on that swap. Is it just not as fast as you wanted or what?

 

Um..... doing that trade would be like breaking back IN to alcatraz; why would you want to after all you've had to go through?

 

guess it depends on the condition, mileage, and model of the hatch.
if it is a low mileage great shape VX go for it if you want (if you want to do another swap).
What are your goals for the hatch if you get it?
most people would say to do a motorswap into a lightweight car (which you already have).
if this is the case you might want to consider sanding down your rex, welding on new quarter panel steel, and giving it a fresh paint job.

 

by the way I am in the same boat as you, b16'd rex thinking of trading, but I want a GSR or a 97+ lude.
I want to have a DOHC VTEC motor stock but I want a backseat, air conditioning (for my girl), and power options.

 

screw the girl!!!! my girl probley wanted air condationing but she had to roll down the window of my crx we broke up, so maybe do get the a/c lol

 

you should be able to find someone who would trade, i know where i live people would for sure because there are hella stupid kids that can't do swaps themselves, one kid even bought a friend of mines b16crx for 3800$. Oh, and about the girls, i got lucky, the first weekend my girl got her 91 integra she had me take out the ac/ and powersteering, it now has a b16 in it.

 

I'm WANTING specifically a 92-95 BLACK SI HATCH and about the comment about 3800 dollars for the b16'd crx, **** I was hoping to at least get 4 grand out of it. I mean damn the engine swap alone cost 2500 and let's say 1500 for the car, plus all the other stuff done to it, I don't see a problem getting it for that amount. But I guess that's just me.
