says needs oil pump.... that could be very bad motor damage......

COULD BE.... it might be ok BUT 90% of the time the motors bearings are galded and burnt up............

risky just so ya know.... only takes a few seconds of no oil pressure or oil to trash the motor

I' love CRXes but I'd look for one that's closer to stock... if you don't want another project, I doubt you want to have to buy parts for a japanese engine that hasn't been made in 15+ years.

The are fun little carsMy dadgave me his and eventhough it sounds like it's about to die, that thing just keeps on going. I'm pretty sure my civic would die first before the crx ahaha lol.

ya i agree.... get one thats preaty much stock... ALOT easier to fix and modify....
tho the main thing that kills those CRXs is rust.... before buying any be sure to look under the car.LOL i bought one for a parts car or maybe fix but it was HORIBLE rust everywhere under the car! im shocked the torsion bars didnt spin around inplace..... i dont know how the car even held itself off the ground.LMFAO


just something to look at mostly..... people can hide the rear fender rust realy easily!
