Here, i'll give you guys some shit that's been done to his car.
--Interior
-His car right now has a gutted interior except for 2 Ricaro seats (that I'm not keeping).
-I have a complete CRX interior, no damage to it at all, that I would keep to put into it.
-His moon roof works and is in pretty good condition.
-Mine is off of the track so it won't move.
--Rust/Body
-My CRX has no rust. He is in the process of replacing his rust with metal (he works at a car dealership so he has top-notch body work tools.)
-Mine has no rust.
-His has a hood that latches properly.
-My hood popped up on me, bending the hood, and messing up the windshield.
--Engine
-He has a ZC engine, with header, full exhaust, intake, and a stage 2 clutch, short throw shifter. This car feels very fast, and gets up and goes like nothing.
-My engine is stock 1.6 si engine, and it smokes some, but other than that, I'm not sure what kind of clutch.
--Suspension/Brakes/Axels
-He has new 96 SI axels in. He broke the old ones.
-My suspension is shot to hell. So many things wrong with it.
Overall, since I get to keep my interior and a lot of body pieces (since he's going to drive it around gutted anyway,) I think that the engine and chassis all together is a pretty nice deal, especially since I won't have to pay for anything. I'm just trying to figure out why he's trying to take something he's put 1700$ worth of parts and work into, give it to me, and take my CRX that has like 1700-2000$ worth or work and parts it still needs. He says it's because it's easier to put the b16 he's got into the car.
