Attachment 30150
88 crx dx....bone stock. just needs a little time put into it....front fenders are shot but thats taken care of(see bottom of post). hoods rusted(also bottom of post). only real problem i have is this....
Attachment 30151
thats the ONLY bit of rust on the entire car. shouldnt be too much trouble. guy i traded with is gonna help me cut that piece off and weld a piece from a donar car.....

also apart of the trade is $800 cash. spare z6 motor with slight knock. and a parts car crx. all going to me. i personally think its a hell of a deal. considering the only other one for sale around here is going for 5k. funny thing about the parts car.....it has NO parts. some guy stripped it out(every wire, even fuel lines). but the body is mint. most likely im just going to swap fenders hood and bumper. then use it for a trade for something or other.

i know....boost the bitch...im gonna stick to the shitty d15 for the time being. build up a z6 and swap then turbo.

:X

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

Hey, for two cars and an engine thats not half bad. I thought you said the car was mint though :P

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

nah. the parts car's body is mint. now the d15 bastard motor is mint. doesnt leak at all. no smoke from what ive seen

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

so u trade a 95 ex for a rusty 88 crx dx?? :-X

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

all and all I think its a great deal if the crx is pretty solid.

I love my crx's

ps crx meet is coming together

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

crx + k20=love of my life

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

---- i woulda traded you too. Might wanna check out the back of that CRX, it might be the glare/shadows in the pics, but it looks like it has a 90-91 rear bumper, so might wanna check out underneath. Also that exhaust is sure handy for a bone stock car, you sure that D15 has been in there all it's life?

I guess it's a decent trade, if you wanted a CRX you can't beat it. I woulda asked for more money though. Too bad that CRX has one of those retarded moonroofs. I hate those things.

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

thats not a dx if it has a moonroof

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

it's some of that optional ----. I have passed up a few CRXs because I hate those damn things. I almost bought a CRX with that moonroof thing, and if i did I was gonna do a jDM glasstop on it. Also it's nothing like the Si sunroofs.

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

shouldve lkept the EJ1 and boost that...well IMHO _. :-\._

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

---- i would have traded to. Im actually looking for some one to trade my 92 hatch im sure one of the local amigos will trade me.

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

Wow you got fucked in the ass with a dump truck. I hope the guy that did this to you gave a great reach around.

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

eh, not bad but what was the EJ valued at? Its sounds like the parts car/questionable engine you got was just a way of someone unloading their worthless junk. In the end, it is a CRX though. I still need to own one but the longer I wait the harder it'll be to find an affordable one :l

Re: my new shitbox.........
 

heres why i traded........
1. wanted an 88-91 civic/crx anyways.
2. old civic's brakes were going out as well as the clutch, tranny, kinda fucked up wiring and needed new wheel bearings. body was in shitty shape. that is a pic from a while back of the "good side"
3. crx runs strong as hell.

but yea. im sure the d15 has been swapped. doesnt leak at all. gonna do a comp test soon(not that it matters, doing a z6 swap around spring/summer. put the car on a lift yesterday. underbody is mint. no rust( except that one spot on the body)not even inside the hatch. no chassis damage at all. wheel bearings are fine. but i wouldnt have traded straight up with him. with the 800 bucks parts car and spare z6(complete). its not bad. ill probably only spend $200-300 and the car will look like new. no rust. clean. thats a hell of an investment if you ask me.

guy i got it from has been wanting a clean eg for a while. mine in particular. he bought the crx a week ago from some old nignog that drove it to work everyday. new how to take care of it. im about to go de-rice it though. guy i bought it from put gay ass red cornerlights in. painted a few pieces yellow/black. grr.

but in the crx's defense. the pics were taken from a shitty camera phone. doesnt adjust for low lighting. thats why it looks faded and rusty. the pic of the back/side is how most of the car looks
