89 CRX Si - Beater, Project

[Nate]

Update
New Price - $1400
I also have a 4th matching CRX wheel waiting, I just have to pick it up.



I bought this car about a year ago for my brother-in-law to drive. He decided he doesn't have money and instead is going to drive his Exploder.

So, it isn't perfect but it would be good for a swap or beater. The main problem is that there is very low compression on cylinder 4, like 20. The other 3 are around 115-125. So, it runs kinda rough, misses at low rpms, but feels decent up higher.

Here is the good, I have a BRAND NEW e-test that is passing so the next owner doesn't have to worry about that and can register it and drive it as a beater until they get money for a swap or another motor or whatever. The new e-test can be transferred to the next owner for like 30 or 60 days.

The good about the car...

NO RUSTY QUARTERS
New E-Test, ready to register
New front rotors / pads
New hatch shocks
Good CD player w/ front component speakers (tweeters in door) and REAR speakers
AC not super cold but worked last summer
Aftermarket exhaust

The bad...
Cylinder 4 shot, misses, runs rough
Slight grind at high RPM in 3rd, not during normal driving, may need shift bushing
1 mismatched wheel, but the H center cap is there for the 4th
Needs R tie rod end (ball joint is shot and vibrates)
Normal door dings, scratches and lost clear coat on roof / hood
Bumpers pushed in a bit, rear worse then front
Suroof a little intermittent, moves fine, motor just weak but the manual tool is in there
Seats are beat to hell, both have padding missing and torn

So, all in all decent car, good for a future swap and unlike a shell can be driven right now. Fairly clean. 200k miles.

I have access to a set of 90-91 Si wheels for an extra $100 w/ purchase

Also have a better set of 88-89 Si seats, slight tear in driver side for $100 w/ purchase

:rofl: It has wheels from a Geo Storm on the back. Bump for a good guy.

Yeah, just one though, my brother and I both thought of you when we talked about it. I'll trade you for a CRX wheel. :)

If you can lower the price some I can buy it. How much do you think it will need to fix the issues. I will not need to rim because I still have my civic. Will that drop the price some. I do not need toe speackers. I need to pay insurance to be able to buy it. Can you also tell me how much swaps run here, not a type r but just a b series.

[Nate]

I'm not going to take the speakers out, that is more trouble then it is worth. B series can run anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand, you have to do some reading and look around to find waht you need.

Like I said, it runs good enough now to drive it for a while, it has been running the same for a while it just runs rough. You probably aren't going to be fixing the motor.

Look around for what you need and make an offer. It runs as is, has a good title and brand new etest so you can drive it for long enough to save up money for a swap.

$1200 I have to pay parking tickets from a year ago. It will cost me 150+ the normal price for regerstration. You can put on the bill of sale that I need to pay you a set amount if you like. I get my student loans soon. Would that work. I need to get my rims from Oldschool. I would get you a check but you keep the car till the check clears. I have been screwed be checks but that is the only way I can get you the money.

[Nate]

The offer is a little low, I'll have to wait a little bit.

help me i'll give you 800 need a car

[Nate]

If $1200 is low, do you think I'll take $800 right now?

Anyone have a B series turbo kit they want to trade?

Trust me pal, you're not going to get any help on HAI making posts like that.

Hehe, well if you want another Storm wheel for the other side I have one I'd give to you. But I hated those rims, they were too small. Good luck with the sale.
