I got tired of not having a beater and after a 540i wagon deal fell through I ended up buying the cleanest '91 Civic DX hatch I have ever seen. Completely stock except for an aftermarket CD player and antenna (edit: and cut springs... I have some 2" drop lowering springs from the old EF I'm going to swap in). Very little rust around the tail lights. Even has the factory hubcaps. The paint on the roof and hood is pretty lovely, but who cares for $600. The interior is nearly flawless, the driver's side seat bolster is torn and the glovebox tabs broke so it is currently sitting in the trunk. Not bad for 230k miles. Even has AC!




The motor is the same one that was in my '88 EF hatch, a D15b2 which has about 3 horsepower and only 2 injectors (DPFI). I have a rebuilt D16z6 sitting at my friend's shop in plastic and I am tempted to swap that and the short geared trans into it, I could probably do it in about an hour. And that motor probably makes around 120. But right now I averaged 47mpg highway on the drive home.

Holy gently caress, score!

Let me know when and where you're going to run the thing, I'd love to see it in person.

Do you just want it for drag? Or do you want to do other poo poo with it?

The 240SX isn't a great drag racing platform.
