CRX Si-R

[chicken8]

im interested in getting a CRX Si-R as a daily

the one with the glass roof and the B16A

but i've never seen one for sale like ever

just wondering if anyone has one. what sorta price you paid for it. if you would be willing to sell it and what sorta price u think they're worth now

[Chi]

WTB section y0 !!!

But you will be looking at minimum 8-9k, maybe more.

Because theyre so rare, ppl jack up the prices.


And glass roof might be bad idea, cos if it cracks, gonna be very expensive to fix.

[Bayani]

Glass roof's tend to be more expensive.
Better chance of finding a SiR without it.

Stock, I'd price at 10-11k.

And Yes, Chi's got a good point. Glass roof will be difficult to replace!

[qstoria]

i check and see them on carsales.com.au quite often. i got mine from there a few years ago through it from a guy in melbourne.

as a daily the glass roof wont bother u if ur not worried bout weight etc. but as mentioned, pray it doesnt brake.

This is just and Si.. Has the ZC engine in it as u can see from the rocket cover..

buying an ef8 with a glass roof is like trying to find a needle in a haystack also premium prices and your looking at a car that will weigh in at 1010kg.
you will have better chance of finding an ef7 (si) with a glass roof 980kg.
a low k ef8 with glass roof freshly imported will cost anywhere from 11g-15g
while a ef7 will cost 7-10g
glass roof is cool but problems that do exist is the glass seal breaking due to chasis twist and general wear. also the glass can crack from chasis twist. so unless you are going to put chasis braces and strut bracing all over the car i do not see it being a worth while purchace.

also the roof is not actual glass it is more like perspex. it changes colour with heat.... gets darker the hoter it is and lightens (becomes more clear) when it cools down

There is one in the for sale thread

the last siR i bought was 11k, with sprint hart cp's, low mileage and a glass roof in great condition. if your planning on some circuit work, plan not to get a glass roof model, but if its just your daily and want to enjoy it, then the glass roof is a great feature i think. ignore all the paranoid peeps about cracks and leaks etc. its very strong

Good clean examples are worth no more then 11. a rough one that needs work, dont pay anymore for 8500-9k for it.

Some come up for sale every now and then, im about to make my 2nd purchase this weekend if all goes well :D
just keep looking, and as for the one for sale in this forum, it is worth checking out.

[Limo]

mate any car is for sale at the rite price..lol, it just depends on how badly you want it.

i picked mine up for 10k 2yrs ago through j-spec, back in the when you could import them, but things have changed, so its pretty much whatever is available in the aust market now.

[Snoop_gee]

Chi thats false information there has never been a incident of the glass roof cracking or being damaged your misleading the potential of CRX SIR owner.

Dont worri mate Limo, rexi3 and qstoria all have SIR's u can get ur proper info from them

i assume you mean "you're misleading a potential CRX SiR owner", for the purpose of my post.

if you read chi's post carefully youd notice that he made no implication that the glass roof WOULD crack, but simply that if it DID crack, that it would be expensive to repair, which, very obviously, is correct. it would be an expensive thing to fix.

please engage your brain before posting next time.

[chicken8]

i didnt know they were this expensive

i was looking for a fun beater

not a 19yr old car for $11k

[true]

just wonder does anyone have perchance a car from http://www.j-spec.com.au/ , if yes, r they good to deal with?

[DreadAngel]

Rofl @ Chicken, if your after the Import ones, always a premium to pay hahaha :P But imo, 11K for something of that age, should be something special...

Whatever you do just be carefull when buying one, go through the whole car inside out. Your bound to find a few things wrong with it which could lower the price of the car. Also don't forget to check for water leaks in the back windows, being 17-18 yrs old they tend to leak(also check the boot under spare tyre for water/rust). Good luck with your search for one, they are fun beaters and although they are so old they really don't feel it - Let us know how you go GL!!

Agreed!
If you want a beater, get a EG with a b16a. An EF8 is much more of a rarity to be called a 'beater'

Actually Snoop buddy sorry to burst your bubble but i have seen 1 example of a cracked glass roof.. So it does happen but still didnt stop me from buying 1 though..

[Mark B]

I got mine ages ago... you can see them at www.turbohonda.com

I have not updated the site since 2001...

The turbo one now has 350HP at the wheels.. :D

YES they are hard to find now.... most people that have one will never sell it... why would you... there is nothing better....

[Limo]

yeh i got mine through j-spec. and yeh theres a fee of $1000. but its well worth it if you dont have your own contacts etc. also they do most of the paper work for you.

you give them a description of what you want..car,year,kms,colour,mods,condition etc and they try to find cars matching that discription.

i got about 5-6 crx's that were available everyday or two, so you can be picky.. and all the cars had mechanics reports etc or damages/condition.

[Dylanamus]

Sell you mine for $15k
