My crx was rear ended
 

My crx hf vx swap was rear ended and I have been looking for a hatch shell. I found a couple but I kinda want to get away from the death traps. The ford focus that hit me had no damage. I mean not even a scratch in the paint. The back of my car was flattened to the point that the passenger side door is pinched. I want to put an hx motor in a 96-00 hatch. Minus power steering with a vx tranny and hx wheels. With the better engine design it could be comparable.

:( That is my fear when people get so into the CRX. It's really quite flimsy. My sister was in a collision with one. The CRX was smashed and the driver was hurt. My sister's Oldsmobile Achieva (not a big heavy car - 2800 pounds) and body were nowhere near as damaged.

This is the second 88-91 civic I have been in a crash with. The first was an 88 hatch and the guy who crashed into me drove an olds aurora. He glanced me when I was going straight. My front left wheel was pinched in the fenderwell and he busted a headlight.

I have heard that the Hatches (which arnt that safe) look like a tank compared to the CRX's. Although, I have to say. Almost everything looks flimsy compared to my Grand prix 4 door. Its a friggin tank, Although it does have a tendency to lose body panels. I rear ended a dodge caliper and I (mainly) just got scratches, along with losing a grille, headlight housing, and pushing the front bumper in about a quarter inch. The caliper only got minor scuffs.

I might mention that the wreck I had was at about 25ish MPH. I was *distracted* ;) Plus im 16 and that was the 3rd? week I had my license. Not one of those moves I am very proud of
