As the topic states, just curious why everyone seems to be getting rid of their Rex. Seems to be the trend lately, thought I would research it. Family? Money? Sick Of It? New Car? Different Project? Etc...

I was expecting you to be the next one to sell there crx, you seem to be selling a ton of stuff you have and it all seems to be crx related so i figured the car would be next.

This is the 10th time I've entertained moving on from the CRX, and 9 times I couldn't do it.

my 91 Hatch is still around though, I gave it to my dad last year, and I gave it to my mom last week. It'll come back to me as well (Maybe when I have a house to keep all these cars)

It's not that we don't like our CRXs, we just get a little stagnant and need to move on to something else - Even if it's for a little while.

my crx owns me. it talks to me and says, give me more mods. Make me run circles around nsx's and bmw m3s. Then I simply do the mods and the car ends up faster.its nothing to do so much with money but it still owns me. i coudl never see another person driving it. And no one mods a 1st gen usually right, well thats how you suprise the cocky bastards

I have no intention of selling mine and I am building one for my daughter. With gas prices like they are it seems crazy to sell one, 40 mpg and it will spank most anything else that gets that kind of mileage.

I sorta bailed on the project for the last while... I definitely didn't sell the car tho.

People's priorities change (unfortunately), mine did. I have a fun time modding my IS300 now.
The rex is still within the family --> Cpiddy has been working on the turbo car like crazy -- the
Blacktop ZC is getting a full rebuild before running 10psi.

But ya, it's nice to drive a car with torque for a change, so I abandoned the Honda world..lol.

I kind of want to sell mine in a way because it seems such a huge project that I'm almost in over my head on.

haha toxic, u just called bryman a noob!

alex<-----wishes he could pick these cars off of people and sell them back to them when they realize they are making a mistake
There are 3 goals when modding a car.
Cheap, Reliable, and Fast.
Now the down side. You only get to pick 2...
