    91 CRX, with a B16A1

    Are u going to keep ur Accord too? If so, hell yes, get the rex! I only wish someone would offer me a car with a vtec for a reasonable price! As far as fixing it, I don't know, but would like to try! Someday. Anywho... you'll like this..I mentioned this site before, quickhonda.net, GREAT 2nd gen crx site! they have:
    !) Online 1991 Mechanical Service Manual
    2)Online 1990 Electrical Service Manual
    3)zipped version of above manuals
    (43 Megabytes)
    AND it gets better for u, it's also got
    4)Adobe Acrobat(pdf) version of 1988 European CRX Factory Manual
    (16 Megabytes)
    and THE BEST ONE ( I just downloaded it, factory european 90 crx B16A supplement, good read!)
    5) Adobe Acrobat(pdf) version of 1990 Eurpean CRX Vtec Factory Manual
    (7 Megabytes)

    http://www.quickhonda.net/index2.htm

    Click on The Garage, then Service Manual.

    Some of that shit should help u fix it, if u get it. Remember, it's an engine, more sophisticated, yes, but an engine, none-the less!
    Start downloading & read!

    All CRXs and delsols are 2 seaters, Mike. I take it that you haven't seen/ driven it yet. Sure he still got it?

    Yeah, the US d16a6 is 108hp, but, Mike lives overseas and B16a were an option there. Hence the

    I almost bought a CRX si before my 3g and with those b16s they are suppoed to be pretty fast!. The JDM SIR had a backseat but it was super small. Seeing as those cars should only really seat 2. I would buy that CRX over an 88 3g though. Especially if it has a b16.

    Get the CRX, you can get lots of aftermarket support for em, and youll have fuel injection, which is the big thing.

    I like them when they are hooked up but if you are tall forget about it. When i sold my first accord i looked at and test drove a black one. It was not very comfortable and very noisy inside with an aftermarket exhaust on it.

    Actually not all CRX's are two seaters. There is an aftermarket setup to add a bench seat in the back. It's cramped, but it can be done. Personally I would go for the CRX simply because they rule. I love them and will eventually get one.
