hey im only 15 1/2 and i was about to buy an 88 crx si w/ a b16 swap (that passed CA smog lol) and when i told him this was gonna be my first car, he said he couldnt reccomend me buying it. he said its really fast and strong and has a really aggressive clutch, and a new driver would have a tough time w/ it. it sounds believable to me, is it true?

 

Truthfully, it all depends on the person. Frankly, I wouldn't put it past you seriously injuring yourself or others with a car like that. Only speaking from experience.

 

Yeah. No 16 year old kid should have a 14 second car with a touchy clutch. It's a recipe for disaster. Go find a K Car

 

lol..do you know how to drive stick good? if yes then you could get used to it,its like riding a bike

no i'm not familiar w/ driving stick, thats what i'm gonna do all summer. so would you suggest me getting a crx w/ completely stock motor or close to that? or a totally different car. cuz i really want a rex

 

16 years old= you need a bone stock CRX, with two missing spark plugs

thats the way to go! i'm 17 and i had a 91 civic dx sitting in front of the house and it was missing the dizzy and exhaust manifold and my parents said you can have it if you fix it but you learn alot of stuff about the car and its better if you get a stock and build it yourself alot of expereience especially if your car is rusted

 

if you like the car then just get it,i would make sure its reliable first

 

ya i know, the one im lookin at right now is really clean. no performance mods either i think except for some exhaust. im planning on getting the car by the end of april, and practicing very frequently until i get my license some time in october. think i'll be able to master a bone stock one by then?

 

i would think so,do you have good hand eye coordination? anything is possible bro

 

well im 17 and ive got a lifted blazer and 89 civic hatch si with a 55 shot on it. The way i look at is that you are only a teenager once Go for it, not to mention youll have a bad a*s crx

Make sure your mom buys it for you. That'll be the only way to go. Just like 70% of the guys in here.

 

im 15 too and i have a zc with a "touchy" clutch and other mods. Its not the best car to learn 5spd on but it was nothing a few 30min lessons didnt solve.

 

oops

 

i can honestly say that my mom (or dad) didnt buy anything of mine. Its just been 3 years of work and not spending my money on stupid crap

 

like video games? lol. the only game im planning on buying is Halo 2. HELLLLLLLS YEAH. but that wont compare to my rex lol. ya i have good hand eye cordin. and im a pretty descent and careful driver. so hopefully itll be a breeze. lol ill fill u guys in. anyone else?

 

yeah i agree with all the above.

you are only 16.... learn how to drive really well 1st and learn your basics about honda motors then when you get a decent swap like a b16 you'll appercaite it more and know how to take care of it.

it's all about the journey in getting there. I'm sure most would agree that if they had a b16crx right off the bat they would be different....... I know I would...

 

I would get it just be very very very careful.

16 year olds + a car is very danger I was 16 and was fucked up and lived through it so

my first car was a 91 STD 4 speed. Had it for about 3-4 years now have a swap go up as you get experience.

 

ya. i agree w/ gradually moving up to a swap. i think i could handle a bone stock.
