hey my crx got totaled but i have all my engine and turbo stuff still intact. i need to just start over and put it in a new crx shell. let me know if you all know where to find a cheap CRX...preferably one without an engine in it. thanks.

Are you only looking for DX?

well unless it has all the same characteristics of a dx. i can't rememeber which ones they are....i dont want to have to change anything. i want to be able to take everything i put into it and just switch it to this car...mounts,engine, harness, axles, linkage, and anyother stuff i used. i dont want to have to change the knuckles or somehting like that. i rememeber seeing that i would have had to do that with the si or HF i think. i preferably like a dx to put it in, but if it still requires no additional work that i dont already intend on doing i'll take it.
How much are you looking to spend? I have an Si with a blown motor but if you have your dx motor youd have to switch it to dual point instead of multi point injection.

No No, i already had the B16 turbo swap in my other car, so i already switched from dual to multi....all i want to do is take my engine and switch it into the new car. i have everything already. all i would do is toss out the old Si engine and put my stuff in its place. the thing im not sure about is whether or not i have to change the knuckles on the Si model cuz im sure i have to do that for the HF models. i dont know its been a long time since i did the swap so i have to read up on the specifics again. im not looking for an Si mainly because people like to oevr price them...im only looking to spend about 1300. i seriously just need a shell, but id take the blown Si for the right. let m,e know how much you want for it and ill see if i can get some more money.thanks
Yeah, the HF is the only one you'd have to swap the knuckles on. That and the STD 4 speed Hatchback had the smaller outer axle joints.
As for my car, it is high mileage, around 230k or something but it is in pretty good shape. It has the normal bubbled rust spots over the rear wheel wells and some dings and stuff but no major damage. The interior is actually really nice considering, there are no rips or anything in the seats which is pretty rare. The Si has a sunroof and all that stuff too. There is no AC so you wouldn't have to worry about that and it has never been modified so nothing is hacked up. Like you said, the Si's are always kinda overpriced, and I'm sure this is too, but I really don't need to get rid of the car since I can find a motor pretty easily and I really will miss it.
I don't think I have any good pictures of it. It is in Aravada right now, if you are close you could roll by and take a look. I'm not sure on the price but it would be under $1000.
Wait, I just saw you are in VA Beach, if that is still right it would be hard to look at and shipping a car is usually around 700 or so.

You might want to call a friend of mine. He has an EF shell that's wired for OBD-I right now, it's painted flat black and is in really good shape. His name is Eujon-- 303.506.3664
