welp, finally bought an ef. its a 91 DX with a locked up motor (bhg & probably other stuff) i think its a 4 speed, is that possible? the car has a problem with the door and hatch, when unlocking them you have to wiggle the key a certain way to open it. is this a known problem or should i just replace the locks?

also, for now i'll either put the stock motor in it or a d16a6. can someone give me the going rates on these motors ? (longblock only)

oh, and pics: http://images.spankaveli.com/ef/

Price: $200 :D

in overall looks in good condition
xcept from bumper light and the dings on hood....
but othe tthan that u got a nice buy,,
if its a 4 speed trans, then it is a STD model with DX hatch, and center tail.....
and yes if u wiggle the key it means the key its all used and worn out.... get a new one from a dealership made for 3.88...
for the price of a D16A6 or stock motor lngblock i will rather put a SOHC VTEC wich its going to be maybe 100 more than those.....

 

thanks alot for the quick and detailed response. ill go to the dealership today. will i give them the VIN or something to get new keys made? im not for sure if its a 4spd, my friend said it felt like one when we were pulling it off the trailer.

thanks again!

 

well honestly thats a heck of a deal of only $200! Nice job! I love that color and suprized to see how mint the body is.

well about the door locks i would just get new ones. If you don't mind it dont fix it.
well the most D16a6 motors will have high miles on them advrage about 120-180,000 miles. for a really mint D16a6 I would pay about $300(includeing tranny and complete changeover) for just the longblock they go gor about $100-150ish.

 

well, i just went to honda and spent 10 bucks to get 2 keys cut from the vin number. they work perfect :D

right now i'm in the middle of putting a d15b2 into it, waiting on finding some axles and a clutch....

thanks for the info guys!

btw i got my engine and tranny for 200 bucks, just needed to change oil pan gasket and rear main seal. i guess that's a good price....

 

the key is probably messed up because it is odd for all the locks to be like that. the person who made the key probably messed up. i bet its not an original key.

just like my first ef!! same color too!!!!! sooooper nice price!!

 

$200!!! I'm jealous. Where do you guys find these deals? Here in cali an EF with no motor goes for like $500-$700. And most of the time they have considerable body damage.
Anyway Good Buy Is the car going to be used as a commuter? Or is it a new project?

 

I paid 25$ for my black 91 Si Hatch with a Mint body(MAJOR RICE STICKERS!@!@!)I live in Northeast Philly in PA and ya just gotta find the right person( i think..no i'm sure he was a crackhead) Had to tow it home had no distributor or battery but i had them at home extra. Car runs great now only problem is the tranny was replaced with a 4 speed but i gotta extra one of those too. Can anyone else Beat the 100 or below price for a car? Partial Car? and Yes i actually managed to track down a signed title(took a few weeks) all in all a good deal for around here

 

the body are in pretty good shape, you got a good deal for $200. do you still have the coupe with gsr? sorry but i have to ask, who is the pretty girl wearing black?

 

Well, not that this is entirely important, but you should be aware that the car is either a '91 STD with a DX badge or it's a '88-'90 DX hatch, because the '91 DX hatches had painted bumpers. Obviously, if it's a 4 speed then it's an STD.

It's most likely a pre'91 DX hatch, though...

Good price, too

 

great deal spending 200$ for an ef. wish i got my ef for that price. sounds like your key is messed up so go to the honda dealer and get urself a new one.

 

Hell of a nice car for $200...I have that same problem with the locks....thanks for bringing it up, now I know what to do about it.

 

Dang, my STD is the same color and I paid 900. I picked up an A6 for 300 including tranny, ecu, axles to give ya an idea.

 

wow thats a steal! If you're looking for a D16A6, someone on the recycler is selling one with tranny for $250. Dunno what condition it is though. wow $200, and i thought my CRX for 2 grand was a pretty good deal. I bet your car would pull pretty nice with a SOHC Vtec swap Cant wait to swap out mine.

 

I cosider you as one lucky mada ******. Nice hatch by the way. If you might know who has 2gen crx shell with no rust or very little in PA,NJ,NY area

 

It's definitely an STD. 4spd and it has the d15b1...

Oh well, still got a good deal I suppose. Now I'm in search of DX/Si knuckles/axles and clutch.
