CRX HF stock 50+
You can get
CRX HF stock 50+
You can get one rust free for 2k or less, if you don't mind a little body work you can pick them up for as little as 500. 88 CRX HF only weighs 1819 pounds, which is ****ing awesome. Not to mention they have great (.29) Cd and the d15z1 is a straight swap. |
My friend had an HF 2 years ago
My friend bought an HF project car to drop in an LS engine or B16 in there (since the weight is so low). Stock engine blew up and it sat. He sold it -- I knew I should have bought it, but I lived in an apartment with no extra parking, and no cheap way to store it. I'll do a search -- I was thinking of that. I hear they handle pretty well too (for fun of course) -- but are the sway bars pulled for weight?

I doubt the sway bars are
I doubt the sway bars are pulled, but it ain't hard to make new ones. Mine weighs like 2100 and I can take a 90 degree corner at 40, so :p

Only HF is in Texas
I did a quick car search on Cars.com and the only HF in the United States is a modded one, overpriced, and is in the Dallas area.

Truth be told the most cheap
Truth be told the most cheap honda EFs are found locally in newspapers or other local listings. Often times you'll just see one on the street. If I were you I'd look for one with a broken engine and then you can swap in the d15z1.
It's worth looking for a HF model though, as you'll already have the ultra high geared transmission. |

The guy told me the reserve was $1500 before I drve up to see it. I was prepared to pay that much but after driving it told him that I would only bid up to $1000. He told me that HF's were in high demand because of thier light weight and that he was certain the he would get $1500 for it. He did. |
