Default thinking about getting a 89 crx

I am tired of my car. I was thinking about getting PGT but I dont know anymore. I was talking to a friend of mine and he has a 1989 crx for sale...I really want it. I was wondering if I should get rid of my probe and get it....I know its a honda so everyone one here well say its better than a probe but what I relly would like to know is How much money and work would it take to...make it fast....what mods do you recomend...engine swaps and shit like that

you don't want a GSR engine....you think you do but you really don't. I've got 5 grand into mine so far and it's still an ugly pile of jizz. That's with a B16 swap installed and running and including the cost of the car. For another 500 bucks I should be in a low low 13 second car.
