Do I buy a CRX Si with a B16 when I have a CRX Dx with minor mods?
Yes. | 4 | 25.00% |
No. | 9 | 56.25% |
Nothing better than preventing a CRX from being riced out, save it and sell a kidney. | 3 | 18.75% |

1. You don't want someone elses, hack job project that they could not finish.JustAnotherRex said:-rust above the D/S quarter that would need to be repaired,
-possibly a rotting seam under the bumper
-needed a replacement sunroof skin (rusted through there)
-battery had been relocated to behind the passenger's seat with no sealed box or anything of the sort so the wire would have to be run further into the rear of the car and a box installed.
- radiator fan hooked up directly to the battery, not connected to the wire harness, so I'm not sure of everything involved in getting that to work properly. I presume that may be hell in a handbasket for getting the fan to run at a certain temperature.
-The motor mounts were generic, but the whole car shook when started and running.
I voted No because you seem concerned about money.At the same time only making 30k a year and have bills to take care of, so the extra $800 a year to insure, and the daunting task of fixing the rust on both my DX and that might be a monetary strain.

This orther one, albeit an Si, sounds way too rusty and has way to many problems from the lackluster mechanic, er, i mean previous owner.

I doubt he will get $2300 for it too. 99% of the time, never get back what you put into a vehicle.JustAnotherRex said:I doubt I can talk him to 1500 or so though, considering he's probably put close to 1k in it since he bought it from the last time I looked at the thing.
Well, I'm currently trying to save a grand to get body work done right (metal ground out, new metal welded in, quarter reworked where it needs to be done). Finding a good quality body shop is something I haven't had time to do lately, but I did get a couple of quotes.baker423 said:Not just you, i was young and impatient once.JustAnotherRex said:Patience isn't always something I've been great at![]()
I would say that is one of the biggest problems i have seen with younger ppl owning and working with cars. They need to have it now and will settle for whatever, just as long as it looks cool.
