I know......it's not a 3s, but I guess the Celica will just have to wait for a heart transplant, the CRX comes first this year. For those who don't know, it's a b16a, 170hp 1.6L swap. I got it for $1500 and that included integra axles, ecu, wiring harness and sub-harness, hasport motor mounts, and best of all, I got him to throw in his full 3" cat-back exhaust all well. Not a bad deal in my opinion. =] I know the Celica's jealous...you can see it scowling in the background.
 I'm so pumped!!

I think the Celica is the hottest car ever made, that's why I own one. But if I wanted, I could spend $7,000 on that CRX, and it would be a GT-4 eater.

But I never said a b16a could eat a GT-4. But a stripped down, shaved, crx with an H22a, possibly turbo'd could. Your right though, 7K was lowballing it, probably $10-12K would be more likely.

There's nothing wrong with hondas.
It's the people that drive riced out civics that piss me off. Because it's so incredibly cheap to buy 'aftermarket' parts for, people rice that **** up. I have no respect for anyone with a stock civic with a huge wing, coffee can exhaust, vinyl stickers, or altezza tail lights. The less you do to a civic, exterior wise, the better it looks. If people keep it simple, it looks pretty good. |

Not bad. Nice looking motor. G'luck with the swap. Anyone know if a B16A is faster than a Celica with a 20V Blacktop 4AGE with 6spd tranny? I'm guessing the B16 is 5spd? I believe both motors have 170HP and 1.6L. Just curious. Thanks.

I don't know much about the 4AGE, so I can't say. But you need to specify if you're talking about a b16 in a civic, or crx? Makes a big diff. crx's are a couple hundred pounds lighter.
