Help ... Buying a CRX

[Deevon]

hey,

im looking into buying myself a CRX im looking to get a recent model one like 94 +
I want a car that looks good and goes fast. I understand that a CRX is 115kw standard is it hard to increase this. Like dramaticly increase it. I want to look good and still have street cred too.
How much would i be looking to pay for a CRX with electric targa top? as low k's as possible and as standard body as possible. as i want to make my own look

Thanks for any help

hahahaha good luck with electric roof, rare, very rare
only about 4-5 in melb as far as i know

AVOID the electric roof. Most of them are stuffed by now and cost big bucks to replace. Plus it just adds weight to an already heavy car. Make sure you check the Targa seals these are also big bucks to replace.

From memory only the imports have the electric roof and not all of them have the B16a some have the SOHC engine in them.

Theres a million parts and mods for the B16a engine that comes standard in all Australian delivered Gen3 crx's. It depends on how much power you want to make and what your budget is. BLKCRX has over 400kws at wheels with this engine still running the 1600cc displacement (with a very crazy turbo setup ).

Hey Man, there are currently 2 or 3 Gen 3 crx's forsale on www.crxaustralia.com they are still working on the site so I can get the chaps Ph Nos. if you like? One has an electric targa top low kms. You can dramatically increase performance NA or FI, you just need dollars.

is it a common problem for the targa tops to leak? as i have heard with the aerotop supras they leak whenever you use a high pressure hose.
How can i cheak to make sure the electric roof's are in good condition? is it easy to do it manualy?
Is there any common problem with the CRX's that i should look out for?
my budget is about $20 grand but am willing to go a little over if i like the car enough

honda targa's dont leak, but they do squeek

do a search on this forum for things to look for when buying a 92 on crx

Fuel consumption is 9L or 10L per 100km's (B16A) and weight is 1114kg. Not sure how much the electric roof would weigh, but that is on top of the figure quoted.

what kind of big buck are you talking about? last time i called, the seal prices were pretty okay

BLKCRX has over 400kws at wheels with this engine still running the 1600cc displacement (with a very crazy turbo setup ).

thought that has B18 in it

[DLO01]

v3rdino: For a little car the del sol is heavy.

EZZY: As quoted from honda the rubbers sealing the targa roof (front, rear, left side, right side) from memory was just over $1000.

BLKCRX is a 1.6L
