Default I'm thinking about buying my first honda

I was lookin at a few crx's and a couple 91 hatches but there is this one 1997 hatch with an h22 vtec thats been up for sale for more then a month because its not street legal and the interior is stripped for about $7500. I was thinking about buying this and either making it street legal or making it a full out race car. its a little more then i wanted to pay but i figured its a good start for my first one. what ya think?

with $7500 you can buy a CRX or even a EG hatch buy a B-series engine ...B16, B18C or LS/VTEC....sleeve it...build the bottom end lower the car get some nice rims and go OBD1 and use uberdata and be ready to put some money into a good HMT....That's what I would do with $7500

Are talking about the silver one thats for sale in Nor Cal? There is a a silver HB with a H22 for sale interior completely stripped and pretty much race only. I'm sure its a nice find and a nice car, but if you end up getting it make sure you have a way to get it smogged to make the DMV people happy.

G'luck.

There are plenty of nicer cars you can score for $7500. Go find you a thousand dollar fixerup honda and do what you want to do with it. ---- get a 92 prelude and build it up if you want to.
