Hi all, im kinda getting sick of the ole CL being so slow, but i still love the nice interior, and the stuff i have put into it, but im looking for somethign faster as a second car. My computer science teacher wants to get rid of her '90 Crx si, she is the only owner and has done regular oil changes the car has 104,000 on it. I thought it might be fun to pick this thing up and have a car to play with. So to my question, what do you think i should pay for this car? the blue book is obo 2,000 i dont know yet if she has the 4 speed or 5 speed, and what options she has. If anyone has any input it would be great.

 

that shit is wack

unless of course u dont mind rolling around in a lego mobile

 

why dont u get a Lexus or a Nissan.

They can be fast/nice/goodfor the money

 

there were 2 CRX's at the track. Both were running low 13's. I personally would never be caught dead driving a CRX. But as long as the CL would be your everyday driver.

 

yea, i would drive the cl, if i wanted anyone to look at me without laughing....

but i think it would be funny as all hell to whip some ass with a crx

 

Crx's are light as hell. I say get it for as cheap as you can from your teacher, and then drop in a JDM B16 in it. If you attempt to go with a bigger motor than that, then it's gonna cost you a pretty penny since it wont fit.

I use to want a crx for the longest time, but then my head turned into the EG hatches (92-95 civic hatchbacks).

I say go for it. And have fun fucking around with it.

 

mann i seen a CRX with a integra type R engine taht shit hawllleddd ass. if you can get it for less than a 1g hop on it

 

yea B16 would be the way to go from what ive read.

she already has a cat-back exhaust on it

 

dont do it

 

care to give a reason?

its far from a done deal and i would apreciate some opinions, but with reasoning.

 

i think that whip is outdated looks wise.

retracting from my statement b4 ;

if you want a BEATER then pick up the CRX and

get some 15-14 inch wheels for like the same price u pay

for the whip... and call it a reynolds wrap..

if u are plannin on modding that lil thang... go 4 it ..

just dont do any EXTerior mods besides wheel and drop

cuz then ur askin for the flames

 

yea get it dont listen to them they think cls are the shit i have 1 but i personally rather spend my money on my hacth all JDM no rice looks. my cl still looks sik though all jdm.

 

cls arnt all that great and i bet mine looks better then the guys speaking so get it and do ur thing...

 

so whatz the word on your rex?

 

just in case.....

rex=crx.....

 

try using the EDIT button??^^

anyway I was looking at the 92-95 civic hatches too I need something to fuck around with... something to learn on.

anyone know of one for sale for 1g or so? can be beat up a lil because I'll just swap in a different engine anyway.

 

I was in the same situation you are in so a friend and I got a CRX, I had a few bseries motors laying around and he got the car for 800 bucks and we've been having a blast w/ it ever since. The current motor in it is the CTR b16b and it's pretty built. The thing is a blast and would make an AWESOME project car no matter what these guys on this board say.

 

I'm currently looking for a mid 90's hatch to throw a k20 in

it's either that or bag my hot rod, tough decision

 

btw, FYI our CRX ran a 16 flat bone fucking stock w/ 200K+ miles on it

 

How do you have a JDM CL?

is it right hand drive?

 

lol does jdm have to be right hand drive jdm parts lol..

 

dam b16 layin around got any more? ahha j/p

 

coo, glad i didnt get all flamed n shit.

i'll speak to her this week about price, and see what happens from there. i wouldnt try to make it look pretty, just go fast...
when i want to be pretty ill stick with the cl.

 

What kinda JDM parts? I wanna see some pics. I've never seen a JDM CL before. Does it look anything like the USDM CL?

 

actually, you need a motor? I've got a b20 block I can get rid of

 

b20 = honda crv motor right? i heard if you VTEC those..they can put out some good numbers

 

yep yep

 

if you have extra money to buy a motor, than buy it, if not, then don't cause you don't want some slow POS sitting in your yard.

 

I need a 2004 v6 accord motor and 6sp tranny. Anyone got any of those laying around?

 

not true, a stock SI CRX would give our cars a run stock. ANd they are a BLAST to drive. Even if you don't have the cash for a motor yet get it and puts around w/ it and start putting work into it like gutting it and getting rid of the sound deadening stuff, etc.

 

you have any ideas what a gutted ( 1 seat, no ac, no unnessasary interior pannels, etc.) would run in the 1/4?

is it worth it to turbo the stock motor, or would you just swap engines?

 

I would do that if i had the cash. I kid near by, i DON'T know engine codes, had the teg GSR engine in one of those CRX si's and that thing was fast as hell. Always looked like it handled like a go-cart too, i'd like to fuck around with one sometime.....

 

well our car bone stock w/ all interior ran a 16 flat. Gutted and shaved and shit I bet you could get down to mid 15's. THen buy a 1,000$ b16a and you are lookin at high 14's no problem

 

I've owned 2 CRXs and loved them both! I had a 1984 (1st year offered) 1.5 liter, and a 1990 HF (also a 1.5 liter).


Niether was intended to be tuner cars, and were not modded. However, they were a blast!

I'd buy another one (however, I'd build the shit out of it)!


Here's the only surviving pic of my '84 1.5 CRX:

 

you the man dust!!

 

 

once a pimp, always a pimp

 

Integ GSR!!!

 

yup, watch out for those eg's, and del sol's..

 

well i guess it could be fun to fuck around with, but my point is that, I wouldn't want another car as slow as mine thats 100 times uglier, taking up space and costing as much as the car is worth to smog, tag, and register it. Thats just me though. Also the fact that 99.9999% of them around here are primered makes me kinda sketchy about em

Now if it had a GSR motor in it i'd deal with the BS
