pressing F intensifies Man that sucks ! If you think about swapping another engine in , you could go K20 or just do some mad shit and swap an F22 in there 😃
Thanks for the F mah dude.

That is a shame man. ... rebuild the engine. imo
Yes indeed man.
# Dr. Zoom :
Keep CRX and swap to K20.
# MACKAY :
Don't be stupid, don't sell your car, I am sure you would regret it later man. Swap the engine to built B16 and you will be good for sure. :morncoffee:
# skip :
Nooooo, don't sell it, rebuild! Things too nice to sell.
# radcoon :
noooooooo! don't sell this beauty! Maybe get a cheap daily and work on it besides. it is such a great car!
# Soju :
I would not sell this beauty as well
# melt :
Oh man, how bad is it?
Crankshaft and connecting rods are peeking through the block, so... dead engine.
# Wypple :
I think it's time to get crazy with that CRX.
Thanks for the love guys, appreciate it.
It's been a month since the B16A SiR-V blew on C-REX. Been having a hard time walking and biking to work as well. So I finally bought myself a daily, which also happens to be a beater. A daily beater.
1996 Honda Civic LX (EK8). Pretty weathered and dusty, but it's alright. Shaken is good for 8 months but I didn't get the plates until a week after I got the car, as you will see later on. Selling price I bought it for was 220,000 yen (V$2200).
Under the hood? A MONSTROUS D16Y7 mated to a 5 speed manual to produce an INSANE 106hp and 103lb-ft.
A week after driving and getting a feel for it, I decided to work on it a little. The 193,897 km ODO reading wasn't really noticeable as after I changed the oil, changed the gaskets and plugs and reconditioned the other components, the engine ran strong and smooth. Also worked on the suspension to replace the suspension bushings because I was gonna replace the same parts on C-REX as well. Total cost of parts on this EK8 was V$400.
A week after that, when the car was mechanically ship-shape, I gave it a full detail, outside and inside. This is what it looks like now.
I've decided to name her Kate. The lovely (E)(K)(8) :-X 🙂)
Mandatory McDonald's initiation trip of course.
Now that the daily is out of the way, let me discuss the progress on C-REX.
Engine is out, and has been sold for a price of $900. To be picked up a few days from now. New parts have also arrived. Spoon DC2 BBK and 5 lug hub swap, 160,000 yen (V$1600), Energy Suspension Bushing Kit V$305, EK9 CTR Wheels 69,500 yen (V$695).

I think it actually looks pretty good haha. What do you guys think? Anyways, next step is the engine, to follow. Thanks for staying tuned!
Finances wroteV$22,880 + V$565x4 + V$900 - V$2200 - V$400 - V$1600 - V$305 - V$695 = V$20,840
