I got mine for $1,500.

good thing about EF's is that you can pick em up pretty cheap.

i paid $2500 for a 91 si back in 2000. I'd expect them to be a lot less now.....

91 CRX Si 80k (perfect) $4000 back in 2000
90 CRX auto 200k+ (clean) $1700 back in 2002
88 CRX Si 180k (clean) $1100 in 2004

See how the price dropped .......

thanks everyone...i'm guessin that 800 is a fair offer for a 88 with a b18 swap..not to mention it doesn't run preciate the gauge.

Paid $100 for mine and another $1,000 to get it roadworthy. Later, QD.

QD, I'm with you. Kinda...

It was sold for "100$". Well, when time came down to do the title, the bastard pulled some shit...but we ended up getting the car for free. Then it took about 800 or so to completely rebuild the d15b2 back to mint condition. It today sits with about 85K miles on it, and still runs like day 1. Hence why I'm in NO hurry to get rid of it...

I picked mine up from a friend for $500, pretty much in the condition it's in now. I had to replace and axle, and eventually the 4spd transmission. Other than normal wear and tear stuff, I haven't had to do anything really major.

I fell like I got some good deals on mine.

91 Std - $300 - in someones basement covered for 4 yrs. Had to put motor in it.
91 SI hatch - $400 - needed motor and trans but had DA seats, adj shocks, etc
89 4dr LX - $300 - ran but not good, needed paint, swapped in SI motor and trans
91 CRX SI :ninja: - got good deal on it but will have a lot in it to do what I want it to do

Good thing is that I seem to always have some spare motors to put in all of them.

Got my Rex for FREE.

Thundercat

i wish it was that easy...i should try it since the car doesn't run..motors is fine thou..but i think 900 is a reasonable offer for a poorly wired hatch w/a b18

I paid $2500 in May 2001. Since then I've put close to $20k into it though, and more to come.

evasive...what motor are u workin with

EvasiveEF9
06-26-2007, 08:38 PM
Currently it's just a stock OBD1 LS motor. You can pick them up cheaply. I actually have an extra one laying around. I wanted to work out all the kinks before building the motor the way I want it. It'll end up as LSVTEC in the end.

How do you have 20k in a CRX?:???:

jfrolang

Well I dropped $7k into my swap earlier this year, and $4k in bodywork last year. That's more than half already. I've got about $2k in audio, $1200 in my custom seats, $2k in suspension, various little pieces all around... JDM here and there. I've owned the car for 6 years. I could spend another $20k and not be done. Glass roof coming up.

dang 20k ...thats actually not much if you break it down by years..i could'nt imagine it not being close to finish with that type of money in it thou.

anybody have a LS bottom w/ ITR head in an EF...kinda of wierd alternative...i bet it'd put down some good numbers thou,

It had better not be in Snellville! D is about the only one that even knows where my car is, and the only one that could access it. Ride by and make sure it's still there homie? :D I'll be back in 10 days or so.
