I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

I found a '90 CRX SI today for $800. Its got a decent bit of rust but the interior is mint. It runs well with 170k on the motor. The thing is that crx's are really hard to find around here which makes me want to jump on it. I think im going to go up to them with $650 cash and see if that will take it. What do you guys think?

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

I'd go for it.

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

It's a good deal.

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

any crx under a G is a deal

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

take the $650, pull the 'its all I have BS' and hope for the best.

i guarantee the floors need replacing and everything else under the roof

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

buy it, then restore it. I hate cancer :'(

I hear yah Ryan on the rust around here. I've never had a WI honda that didn't have rust. I think the second they all get across the WI border the DMV has to insert a shitload of rust in the rear wheelwells and on sunroof if it came with one.

650 cash, take it. great deal. lots of fun to be had there

Get it and let's swap your LS in 8)

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

around here any rex under ag u have to buy even if u dont need it, if u find one for 1500 you still found a good deal

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

If it has a mint interior that that alone is worth it. if it runs and drives fine then ---- yeah!!!

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

Yeah... sure ::)

My $850 CRX with 130k was in bad shape body-wise, interior was pretty mint, especially the seats (no rips/tears/signs of aging :y)

Jump on that deal

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

ya, if you reply befor u buy it your wasting time

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

i paid 200 for mine. it came without a trans and a bad motor. but was wrecked in the front 100 bucks for a new hood bumper and im good >:)

although it could use a new rad. support cuz all the ---- is still misaligned :S

I came up with $600 and she didnt even think about it. I seriously think i could have taken it for $400. She said she had a few offers of $100 so she was excited to get a decent offer. The interior is 100% mint. Not a single stain or rip. The body is straight as all hell but there is some rust. Im going to spend tonight looking for somwhere to buy replacement panels and weld them in. The motor is also 100% stock. The car has been babied for its entire life. It just needs new breaks and some body work. I decided to put the build ls/vtec into this instead of my ek. 350-400whp should be fun in the car. It weighs just over 2000 lbs. I think im in love.

I also need to do some research on coverting the clutch to hydro. I know hasport makes a kit but i really want to just have a complete hydro system if its not too difficult. I have a rebuilt sir tranny that would be perfect for this thing. For now im going to keep it stock and focus on the body work and getting it back into tip top shape. Then will come with ls/vtec-turbo along with suspension and brakes. I bought the car for $600 and im sure within a year i will have put ten times that much into it.

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

use a cable teg tranny

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

Converting to hydro will be a pain in the ass, get a 1st gen SIR tranny

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

A buddy of mine just bought one here in minnesota for $700. No rust and perfect int. Timing belt snapped but we are swaping in a b18 this winter. Go for it.

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
 

This is going to be a very very very long project. I dont plan to drive it for a long while. I am going to 100% strip it to the bone and start from scratch. I have a daily driver thats plenty of fun for now and this is just to give me something to work on. I found replacement entire rear quarter pannels on hondaautomotiveparts.org but they are a bit expensive. If i cant find them cheaper ill just buy them anyways. All of the rust will be fixed and then the entire shell will be painted inside and out. Then ill start putting everything back together. Im really going to take my time on this. I want to completly restore this to brand new condition. I just finished my ls/vtec that was going into my EK but i think im going to put it into this instead. Its nothing special. Just an ls block with aries pistons and eagle rods with a gsr head and blox intake manifold. Im still not sure where im going to go with it.

Re: I found a rex...is it a good deal?
