got JDM front end, tails etc... K are too expensive leaning towards JDM B16, hope to get lucky with a LSD in the trans.. It will be going to the bodyshop as soon as I get my Wagon...

^^^nice the JDM front is the only bumper i would swap in over stock. the b16 will be plenty if your not trying to fastest guy in town, still plenty quick. B16a swap, Ys1 trans. not sure if i have LSD not to worried about it. intake, exhaust, front upper strut. nothing to special. Im in the middle of posibly selling it to try an buy nice GT bk wagon.

these are awesome cars man. I've owned 2 of them. one with b16a1 and DOHC ZC. Definitely wish I could find one of these in nice condition and with a swapped engine!

Wicked car! I love CRXs. I have a 1989 SI with a frankenstein B16/B20 swap. When you throw some decent power into the engine bay these things are so much fun to drive.

How much are you asking for it? Too bad I'm on the other side of the country.. it'd be quite the drive.. nothing I haven't done before to get a car.. but still :lol:

$3250, but might come to 3k depending on how bad I want to sell it :smt002 considering the passanger side is flawless, and the driver side has two spots that could us a little attention but nothing serious. no rust. clean title,no primer, no bondo, all body panels are original from the factory. factory white paint that is not the greatest, but the car is almost 20 years old.
crxs with b16s can always be had for cheaper but they always seem to have every body panel a different color, and missing half the interior. then whats left of the interior has some painted ricer theme :smt005 but to each hes own

Nice, how did I miss this?? I had a 89 and miss it. I would love to get another one some day, but doubt it will happen. I have a members ride link in my sig check it out lol. I had a full LS drivtrain from my friends 2000 Integra he flipped I was going to swap in. I ended up selling the car for a bike and gave my friend back the drivetrain that he sold to help by a bike lol

yeah I don't blame y'all for not liking the wheels, not feeling them myself. I got a good deal on the car, and the wheels came with so can't really complain.

Just think, you look passed them once. I get to do it every day, lol
thanks for all the coments everyone :smt006

Nothing wrong with free rims. Once you find something you like you could sell the to pay off or help pay off the new set.

for sure, tires were/still are good too. thought about doing that, but decided to test waters and see what i could get for the car instead. not really into honda/FWD cars much anymore, but guess I never was to start with. RWD is what i was really into, then I bought the (BK) and got hooked on that (AWD) :smt023

Love the car hate that you swapped out the engine. That is just my opinion.

I tried so for a year to find a unmodified HF and use it to save gas, but they are mostly all have been modified in some way or another. Oh well.

haha. thanks. I like your evo.
there are a few around here that are unmolested. I bought the car with that engine in it for $100 not running from my brother, cause he was tired of sinking monies into it.
100 for the car
100 to get it home from seattle
100 for the new distributor
100 for tabs and tax
then sold the car for 2500 without the wheels. so I couldn't complain. I still got 30mpg mixed driving even with turning 3900 rpms @ 70 mph
