I am looking to buy a 1989 CRX Si which is in good interior condition with Del Sol Seats. Within 4k miles has a brand new clutch, new head gasket, and distributor. Has 189,000 miles on it. The guy said he would sell it for 1500. I was thinking maybe 1200-1300. It has not rust and is primered ready to be painted. Thanks!

 

doesn't sound bad price but always see if you can talk him down

 

I would thoroughly check it for rust. Make sure they didn't just cover up rust with bondo. Otherwise it sounds like a good deal if the car is mechanically sound and runs well.

 

go for it man

 

thats about what i got mine for. I think i got a good deal.

 

awesome.. im thinking of keeping the d16a6 and doing a complete build on it. So right now this seems like the perfect car. Thanks

 

whats the compression supposed to read on this car? I might have to boost it if it does ok on the compression test. or do you think its too old of a motor?

 

9.1:1

 

sound like a great deal go for it...

D16A6 SPECS:
HP: 108 @ 6,000
TQ: 100 lb-ft @ 5,000
ECU: PM6
bore & stroke: 75 x 90 mm
displacement: 1,590 cc

 

I would

 

do you think i should boost the 190k mile motor? I know I would have to do a compression check and make sure its 205 across the board (I think at least). If so do you think it will be OK?

 

btw: I also have the ability to buy a full greddy d16 turbo kit with an FMIC and Ignition for an extra 1100 or so.. Would it fit on the d16a6? I was under the impression it fit the 99-00 si.
