Not sure how bad it is but a good running b16a crx with clean body should sell for 3500 range so in reality if he throws time into it,it should make money but that applies to almost all cars like this.

I ran a 14b on a b18... did fine... very quick response time :D Not a big improvement on the top end tho. 3rd gear screams.

Re: just picked up another rex
 
i vote to de-rice it, fix the rust and sell the b16 for a d16 eagle/vitara build :y

otherwise if the motors runs thats a pretty good deal

Re: just picked up another rex

he could probably make his money back if he parted it all out. But he's going to try to work wonders with it and fix up a worthless ---- box :3

Re: just picked up another rex

Throw a D in it and resell for $800 to some ricer.

HondaTuner 02-18-2008 04:40 PM

Re: just picked up another rex
 
^ exactly. Then you have a spare motor for the other rex. That is, if it isn't fucked in reality :X

Unlike yours that car isn't falling apart. And I bet it moves under its own power.

How do you know what he actually sold it for? :1

I would say a RUNNING/DRIVING car would be worth more than a car that has to be towed away with engine AND tranny problems. :l

Chances are, you will make your money back if you part it out, but the only good parts I see on that car is the interior and the motor IF it's not fucked. :l
