Click to expand...

exactly what i was thinking....

i emailed the person and they said it has just blown....and no it wasnt from driving....

so me thinks that it isnt completely fooked ^_^

i was also looking at this

eBay Australia: 1988 HONDA CRX COUPE BLACK 5 SPEED MANUAL NEW ENGINE (item 120132153380, end time 25-Jun-07 21:15:00 AEST)

but its a little out of my region.... and it will be sold unregistered :mellow: so i will be fucked if i want to drive it back home :( i emailed him and he says he wants atleast 5k for it registered....i know for a fact if i did buy it first thing id be doing is throwing away the chromies right in front of him and driving away
 
actually i went to go look at one today thank you very much....

and a 1g crx

lol i delayed my job interview one day to go look at the crx.....

and the piece of shit wasnt even worth the 1k for it....(which i may add i would have been more then happy to pay the $200 towing fee

it was covered in rust and even though the guy said it had low millage.....there was evidence of otherwise....
 
Need a car quickly + car with blown motor does not = getting a car quickly.
 
Why the hell would you want a honda beat? Don't those things have like 3hp?


Now, if you could get your paws on a S360, S500, S600, or S800.. I'm sure everyone at hondaswap would drool themselves stupid.

I've been hunting one for years. (They are available here, but for rediculously high prices) Well, available as in, a few have been shipped over by private parties.

i think the beat had about 70hp from a 3 cylinder
i don't think the S's were much better

agreed fuck the beat....

there around 10k here anyway and thats in good condition....

ive been in one....

and i know this car wouldnt be done quickly....but it would be in budget for a crx..

wouldnt cost me more than 5k to get it to me get to engine fixed/replaced and have rego done....

which is what a crx would probably cost me and that would be with high milleage
 
The S's did around 100mph top speed.. But they are freakin awesome.

The 1970 s-800 could handle 10k rpms. :wub:

Gawd, I'd love to have one.
 
ahh well depends....

getting it registered can be a bitch but at the same time can be simple...

ill put it in simple forms first and if need be expand it later

if you have a new car (like i go buy a brand new civic) i walk into the rta with the green slip and its registered

if i walk in with a car that has been sitting on a front lawn for a year or so...

i need to go get it repaired in almost new condition (yeah right) and get a blue slip a green slip and i think another slip to get it registered....

AND INSURANCE IN AUSTRALIA IS NECESSARY
 
anyone remember the rhd cars post?

when he comes to australia me and him should be able to help with finding you guys rhd cars.... ^_^

well i can now help sourcing cars if you like ^_^
