My 18th birthday is soon to come up, and because of this my mother wants to buy me something worthwhile. She has already agreed to buy me the parts i need to get my car back together and running again, but i'm starting to want a CRX as my winter beater and a daily driver for college. Borrowing my mother's Camaro everyday for school isn't exactly cost effective for a 60 mile a day daily drive. The camaro is in pretty phenominal shape and i don't want to wreck it because of snow. What is your input?

 

rebuild. you can find a crx yourself for the price of dirt.

 

yeah, I have bought a running CRX for 250 bucks

 

I can't find them below $600, they seem to be getting more and more popular and because of this the price is going up. I'm not doing a full rebuild so the price to rebuild mine will be around $200 total.

 

CRX

 

Both


Let her buy you the CRX and use it for the winter. In the spring you will have the 7 back toghther for the summer.

 

I will do both, that's a given, it's just which one to do first. I want to get the Rx-7 rebuilt soon before winter hits hard and the weather would still permit me doing so, on the other hand, that could wait until spring. I'm just unsure what i want to do, i can already tell this thread is going to be about 50/50 either way.

 

good idea !! so if you get in a wreck who cares its a honda !! the rx-7 is safe from the winter drivers . btw I also hear thoes get good gas milage .

 

rebuild parts will be available later the crx might not......

 

CRXs aren't too uncommon to find cheap, i do have my eye on one though for $600. They do get excellent gas milage like you said dan, something i've never expirenced with a 13b and a V-8 camaro. Spending $30 a week in gas gets to be redicules.

 

honda CRXs are pretty common hear in wa and if you need any parts let me know and I can see what I can do.

Parts for the CRX or Rx-7?

 

both CRX and rx-7

 

w3rd, if you get an 84-87 CRX it shoud be pretty darn cheap
been racing those for years if you have any questions

 

Get a fuel injected one... The Carbureted ones are a PITA to work on.

 

I was planning on a 2nd generation CRX. '88-'91

 

whats the terrible thing about winter agsint cars?

 

It's really car's against winter. I hate RWD in the snow, i wrecked my Rx-7 last winter because of it.

 

Crxs here in aus are uncommon and the price has gone up significantly

10 - 15 thousand.. AUD

LETS BE REASONABLE NOW!!

arghh
