B18 Swapped: 1988 Honda CRX

The Honda CRX was an interesting two-seat front-drive economy sports car that really shook up the market when it was introduced in 1983.  There were few other cars on the road that could be optioned to get 40mpg city/50mpg highway (in the CRX HF) or provide an exhilarating driving experience (CRX Si).  Today's example has the volume turned up to 11 with a "teggy" swap...which is the B18 non-VTEC equipped 4-banger from a '95 Integra good for around 140 horsepower.  While we'd prefer the zippy VTEC zoom factor of a B18C, this thing is a considerable torque upgrade from the original and should be very lively.  Find this 1988 Honda CRX offered for $3700 in San Jose, CA via craigslist.

Cheap Teggy: 1999 Acura Integra GSR

The 3rd generation Acura Integra (1994-2001) was the final Acura to be named Integra in the US Market (although the torch was passed to the remarkably similar RSX).  The Integra sold well when new and became a huge hit in the sport compact scene once it became affordable for kids to modify; many have been attacked with nitrous systems, neon lights and plywood wings.  Finding a stock/clean 3rd generation Integra is quite difficult today and getting one from an original owner is almost impossible, but this next one looks okay. Find this 1999 Acura Integra GSR offered for $3,800 in Brentwood, CA via craigslist.

Sport Compact Utility: 2001 Acura Integra GSR Type U

You've seen them before...and they go by many names.  Not quite a pickup truck, not quite a car...but they are known as a Ute, coupe utility, utility, an El Camino, a Picarup, Ranchero...or simply a vehicle where you can go to church on Sunday, but carry the pigs to the market on Monday.  Find this 2001 Acura Integra GSR Type U offered for $5,000 in Frederick, MD via craigslist.

Plumbed for Plumbum: 1985 Mitsubishi Cordia GSR

Mitsubishi was probably at its peak during the 1980s after it bought out Chrysler Australia in 1980. Their Sigma sedan was a popular family car, the Colt an equally popular hatchback, and the Pajero sold well too. In 1983 they added a new model to the range; the Cordia. Unlike much of the range, not many people noticed it, and it remains overshadowed by its bigger brother, the Starion. It deserves to be noticed however, it was the precursor to the successful Eclipse line (which was never sold in Australia), making it a lot more important than its popularity might suggest. Find this 1985 Mitsubishi Cordia GSR for sale in Wetherill Park, NSW for $5,500 AUD ($4,100 USD at the time of writing) via gumtree.
