Default Let me know if this is a good deal. (First time crx buyer) ZC inside

So i went down to take a look at it tonight. The dash is fucked up a little, climate control needs to be hooked up but it looks to be a mint unit, has aftermarket side skirts and rear bumper but it's not too bad or not too ricey, small dents on fender. Overall body is 8/10 but decent for a 20 year old car.
Motor (JDM ZC bitches) doesn't run as the plugs were fouled during the winter (im thinking new plugs will get it to run again) checked compression in 40* F and here's how it is 185 160 192 190. Right now the problem is too much fuel or just retarded owner who can't change spark plugs or set the spark plug wire order wrong on the cap.
Dude won't sell less than $1200, he's holding it for me until tomorrow i can come with a dolly and will tow it home if new plugs won't get it to run.
It's 1989 CRX Si, btw.


Im thinking 10 pounds of boost will do this motor right.


Here's his pics of it.

I have a stock rear bumper if you end up buying it you can have for free. I dont think $1200 is a good deal on that car though

no that 160 compression number is scaring me it shows something is wrong with that cylinder. the cylinders should be about the same +or- 5-10%

88dx, i'll let you know about the rear bumper if i get it.

Out every other crx that i see on CL, 1200 for this one is decent, every other cleanish crx like this is 2000+.

BTW: Interior is 8/10 right now, with a days worth of work it could be 10/10

I think it should be fine, if the valves for cyl #2 were open for those couple of months in freezing temps, i would think the compression would be a little lower for now. Valve adjustment is probably off also. I don't really care about the motor part for now, im just looking for an opinion overall. Thanks for your reply though.

If you really want it for $1,200, the best thing to do is to call him in the morning and tell him you like the car, but just can't justify it. Give him a couple seconds to an hour to come down on the price, and if he doesn't, call him back to say you've changed your mind and will pick it up. Play the fucken game, son.

Oh, and about the good deal. I'd say $800 with that shot motor is a good deal.

already tried, he won't ------- go down at ALL. It was actually his son who put it up for 1250 in the ad, so he's dad is pissed at him for putting it for that much and won't drop anything over those $50. I got a HS welding competition in the morning, so I can only pick it up in the afternoon.

I could care less if the motor is shot a little, good core for a ZC turbo build.

offer this dude 1k tell em its a pos body kit


http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/1043797429.html


My name is John and I am a sailor getting a divorce. I would rather see it go to a good home then go with her. It is a 1991 honda civic crx si.

It has:
coil over suspension
front and rear strut tower bars
front and rear sway bars
front drilled break rotors
regular disk brearks in the back
It has a b16a vtec motor swap
a short shifter
k&n air filter with a aftermarket intake pipe
dc headers and exhaust
adjustable cam gears
and it has a clifford anti-theft system

And for the bad. The passenger side motor mount snapped and the motor is barely hanging in there would be a great donor car to make a hatch or another crx a great car. Its paint is faded and the body kit is alitle messed up.

My phone number is 812-893-0295. If you would like a picture let me know and I could text you one. I dont have a computer or internet at my home so I use the liberty center computer. That means I cant upload pictures here. If you would like I would make arrangements to have you see the car. It is curently sitting in my garage were it has been for the past 3 weeks. I am going to sea some time in march so its got to go soon. I will accept the first reasonable offer.
