Here is an idea. 1st try to talk the seller down to about 850-900... then when you get future funds (i.e. tax return, paycheck...etc.) tyr to build up as much as possible.... BUT keep in mind the integra and the civic/crx... are based off of the same type of platform.sooooooo some of the parts are interchangeable.... seats ,lug pattern, also lets just say GOD FORBID that you get in a accident in the INTEGRA on your way to work or something like that... you can do a engine swap....and while the engine is out( BUILD THE FUKN SHIT OUT OF IT) even if you done go for the franken motor(LS/VTEC) you can still build a engine that would be able to hold an ass load of power capable of boost..(EDILEBROCK,GREDDY,HKS..... even if youu dont decide on a name brand turbo setup YOU can still go with an off brand and SAVE some cheese..) ..
Or even if you dont have a lot of cash just upgrade the valve train and clutch(well worth it) .. just think about---A CRX with a LS swap teh redines at 8.5-9 and is capable of boost....BUT like I said B4 god forbid that you get in a wreck.... that is a option that you have...

but that is my OPINION..

^ HELL NO! It's the American way. You're not living until your $8,000.00 + in debt and are living pay check to pay check.

Well there is one major reason I'm thinking of getting the Rex. My car is only a 99 with less than 60,000 miles (still new). In order to make it fast I have to do a head swap, spray it, or Turbo it. I don't see a point in ripping appart a motor with less than 60,000 miles. The CRX would make a great project car and if something goes wrong its no big deal since the car is old (plus I'd still have my Teg). Then like the other guy said...some of the parts from the teg will fit in the Rex.

You'd have to do a hell of a lot more than that to make it "fast" chief.

if you want to have fun go find a used dirt bike, or buy a 200 dollar remote control car/boat/airplane.

If your going to get a Stang next year, why waste your money now? I would either keep saving it for the Stang mods, or put into the suspension of the Teg.
