I bought my 90 Civic Si about 2 months ago. It's not a bad car, practically zero rust, drives good, paint isn't terrible (fade on top and hood, driver's door rattlecanned flat black). It runs good (though it uses about a quart of oil every 700 miles or so) and the interior is in excellent condition. The biggest problem is the rebuilt salvage title (though the car drives perfectly fine).
Problem is, every time i see a 1G CRX or 3G hatch, i cant help but miss my old 85 Si (and 86 Si, and 87 HF...). So the question is, am i nuts for wanting to trade a perfectly good car (a rare thing for me) for another CRX (or flatback, ive had a thing for them lately).
If i do decide to trade, think i could get a reasonably nice 1/3G for it? (pics in thread below):

Wait until you find a good EA... It's hard to find one that's any good, and I'm not sure about where you are, but here in Texas, a clean 1g/3g is non-existent.

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

It's true. The only clean ones I've ever seen in Texas are
1. My brother's black 87 Si (DEAD)
2. My uncle's black 87 Si (I actually have no idea if he still has it.)

Get another vw. Then when you get bored of it, I will buy parts off of you, painfully slow.
