Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
It's a florida car...that's good. here are some pics

90 CRX HF
the bad, some noise from the engine???
but it runs
he is asking $900 for it. I'm thinking trying $750 - $800 and picking it up.
it has A/C, I'm thinking I can swap in another sigle cam, Actually I have an extra block that was smoking a little, and daily drive it for a while.

I like the fact it looks clean and the fact that it is still a virgin. I mean look at the intake and all the plastics right where they belong.....Waiting for me to rip the hell out of it.

I asked him to send me some interior shots. I hope it is decent to good. If it is I'm going to have to buy it.

Thats a steal at that price if you talk him down thats even better, very clean looking car, check for any rust but I don't think you guys have to worry about that down south, damn NE...

But in case the rear wheel wells, rockers, bottom of the door and rear bumper support seem to be the spots on the CRX

Oh and i don't know how much ripping you'll get out of the 70hp motor :P a z6 or even a ZC swap would make that a fun DD O0

Still have it, Still have it, and yes.....

The Element is fun as hell, I love my second and third gear tire chirps, and the look on others faces. The hatch will get the turbo threatment in about a month. Florida meet. Check the link out.

The WRX is just sitting there, and seeing some weekend action.

I wasn't looking for another car, but if I can get it cheap, I can always resell it.


the guy told me it had A/C.

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
Holy hell that's worth it. If there was no engine noise they'd be asking ~3500-4000 here for that.

I have no idea what that paint would look like dry but ---- for 900 I would by 10 of them. :8

davcivic 12-09-2006 02:49 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
Paint is not a big problem ,my brother in law paints, I just pay the materials. The guy sent me another message.....$800 and out. So he is willing to go down. My problem now is that he said it also has the oil light coming on. So The noise is probably from lack of oil, well damage from lack of oil. He said he would not drive it down here that I should get it towed.....


I was planning on at least driving it down here, it's about 60 miles, maybe a little more. If it is that bad I doubt it would make it here. Damn it.....I need to get AAA and see if I can tow it here......I don't know anyone with a truck or a hitch that I could rent a uhaul to bring it down here. >:(

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
How many miles do you need to make it? I drove my LS VTEC with a bad knock for like 20+ and it made it. It totally trashed the crank and journals, and the piston was slapping the head, luckily it was a gs-r head, so the quench pads took the beating and not the valves.

Scott-EP 12-09-2006 05:05 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
i drove a z6 for 300 miles with a knock. it will be fine

Smith-02 12-09-2006 05:10 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
ive got an inline f150 and ive been driving it with what sounds like the lack of a bearing in the rod on one of the cyls.

ive got about... 4000 miles on it and its not really getting any worse

Scott-EP 12-09-2006 06:26 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
i guess i should also add that i pulled the engine before it went, so who knows how long it would have gone

HMTdmc 12-09-2006 06:43 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
My old f22 lasted about 60 miles after it started knocking.

It totally sucked me and my girlfriend were at her brothers I told her I thought the motor was starting to making some noise and might blow up on the way home. So she decided it was a good time to invite all five of his kids :S to stay all night with us. I said no becuase I didn't even know if we would make it home it was a big fight and I said ---- it. about half way home the thing just started letting go. I told her to keep it running and I went in the gas station and got a few quarts of cheap oil.

LMAO about every ten miles when the oil light would come on I pulled over kept it running and dumped a quart of oil in. *L* the rod shot through the block as we pulled in the driveway.

I say any miles it makes it closer to your house on it's own is that much cheaper the tow bill will be take your cell phone and some oil with you. and make sure it's in the middle of a week day so if you need it you can get towed. I think it'll make it.


Scott-EP 12-09-2006 08:23 PM

Re: Is it worth it....Guy is asking $900
 
thicker oil is better also. get some gear oil or something. that will help

Thats def worth itbuy it before someone beats you.My dad got 2500 for my old crx with 186k and it was a fucked up pos after he had it(besides the zc in it).It looks clean and clean/virgin crx's are getting rarer.
