i love the old crx's.....super light...and even if its a carb, its gonna be a blast. you can usually pick them up super cheap, and half the body is fiberglass or plastic, so they dont rust as fast as 88-91's......at least in the midwest it seems that way. super duper light

 

I've heard curb weight for the 87 Si (which I have, it's the heaviest of the first gens) as either 1908 or 1970lbs. Earlier models, especially HF's, are even lighter. Tons of parts swap over from 86-9 Integras: brakes (larger front, rear discs), sway bars, and if you have an Si (the only fuel injected model), the D16A1 bolts right in. If you end up with a carb'd car, an Si head swap will yeild solid gains. My car was $150 with a busted axle, and I'll be picking up another 87 Si with a ZC swap for $400.

on 1st gen CRX's. They're dirt cheap to buy, cheap to mod, and fun as hell. What more could you ask for in a project?
