What would you guys do?
 

I got two options here. I basically got my school bills paid for, so I can do one of two things. Keep my Celica and throw my turbo kit back on. Small T3 (.48/.42), DSM 450's and SMT6 to control it all. I would sell my teg and just pocket that money for if I ever wanted to build the Celica. I like the car, it's really clean and it's something different.

.... or....

I could trade the teg straight up for this 91 CRX Si, sell the Celica (for about 3k). Has full suspension, clean interior, D16Z6 swap, new 6 puck and lightened flywheel. Definately boost it and I think it'ld be fun to drive. Only problem is that it needs some body work, but that's no problem as I just bought a 60 gal compressor.

Here are some pics.

What would you guys do? CRX has a lot more potential and will be more reliable, where the Celica is more original. What makes the CRX so awesome? I know some people love the cars so much, but I've never driven/worked on one, so I don't know. Thanks guys

take the crx!!!!!! we can have a meet to do the body work :y

Re: What would you guys do?
 

Id go CRX.They are fun to drive and look good IMO.Also they are light[2000lbs] so it doesnt take much to make it fast and they handle great with a minor suspension mods.They also have lots of room inside as they are only two seaters so it leaves lots of room for cargo.

Id save the money and put it to the side for a rainy day ;)

What would Brian boytono do? :6

Re: What would you guys do?
 

Why is the crx so many different colors? Was it in an accident? The interior in the teg is mint, and the body is beat up. Same situation as the crx, except the teg is already turbo.

Try to get the guy to give you crx + 300 for the integra. Then sell the celica, bank $1500, and spend $1500 on body/paint/turbo. 8)

keep the teg and sell the celica

Re: What would you guys do?
 

I'm also wondering why the car is different colors. If your serious about getting it at least do a car fax, its one thing to buy a car knowing it was smacked up but finding out after you've payed for it sucks, especialy if it could affect the price.

I'm biased so I'm gonna say work out a deal w/the crx but set aside $$ for an alarm.


BBQ and painting at Colin's :8

midwest rex? Probably had rear 1/4 cancer. I've never had a rex yet that hasn't had any here in WI. I'd keep the celica and sell the teg and do more the celica. I guess I just had my share of honda's and rex's and like different things.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

that crx is lame.

sweet muffler

Re: What would you guys do?
 

The CRX is a different color because it did have some cancer, but this guy took care of it all and relocated the gas cap (wtf, it's in the door jam. why he did that I dont' know). The muffler will definately not stay.

I think I'm going to do it. I've had the Celica for over 2 years now and I think it's just time for something different. I'll run the carfax on this CRX and see what the deal is.

Depending on when the midwest single cam challenge is, I might just build the Z6. I'm excited as hell now.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

take the CRX for a spirited drive. I'm sure you'll be sold. What makes CRX's so special can not be described in words.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

Forget about the ricer honda. Keep the celica.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

get the CRX. That one doesnt look soo bad, i mean, at least its not totally rotted out

Re: What would you guys do?
 

i think i would take the rex, but then again i dont know what year celica you have, if its like mad ol' skool, keep it, if not, rex all day

Re: What would you guys do?
 

CRX@! Man that thing looks like a lexus compared to the shell i bought and put my motor into man.. buy the crx and boost the living ---- outta it.. thats my take..

Re: What would you guys do?
 

all this talking up of the crx is going to make him disapointed when he drives it. celicas handle good too :l and have allot less body roll. I think im about done with cars anyway. constantly dumping money into something for little or no gain sucks. keep whatevers the cheepest and most reliable, and drive it to school and back :P


working less > buying car parts.

BUT, id get the crx. parts are cheep. people get rid of stock ---- all of the time. they're worth allot, good on gas and they ride nice.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

the rex has potential

Re: What would you guys do?
 

all cars have potential. their just happens to be a huge comunity for hondas.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

crx for the win colin, the honduh scene is where its at man, im going to build you a manifold like this
This is our new signature manifold, fully Ac compatible, doesnt even require a slim fan, We call it the "hit and run" and its got your name on it

Re: What would you guys do?
 

Haha, that looks sweet mike.

Yeah, the CRX doesn't have anymore rust on it, it's all been taken care of so I think it's good to go. Has a nice Z6 in it with all the drivetrain/suspension mods that I would want to do anyways. Maybe some sway bars, a nice turbo kit and some paint and it'll be mint.

Yeah, my Celica is a 5th gen. It's got some issues, but it's been pretty reliable. I just want something new.

Eventually I want to get a 1st gen a swap a lexus v8 in it, much like shadetree is doing. That ---- is hot.

Re: What would you guys do?
 

Other than the door jamb gas cap :l sounds pretty solid. I miss my CRX a ton
