I own a 1988 Honda CRX and I was just wonderin how many others on here own one too! I have a west wings body kit on there now but I plan on get the 12pc wide bodykit!

Prepare for the flames.

There are several CRX owners, don't know how many who would admit to putting a ricer kit on their CRXs though.

You just said you have a body kit. So take the money for the new body kit and do some engine work. A nice head. A turbo. Maybe some suspension work. Any of those is far cooler than a body kit. I swear to god, as soon as I get my Mercedes I'm going out of my way to humiliate kits in Civics, CRXs, Neons, and any other kitted 4 cylinder.

Actually it'd be a 77 SEL 6.9. Thats a 6.9L V8. How can you not want one of those?

I have an 1987 honda crx si bone stock and not riced. I wanted to add a turbo but i will save up for a new engine. Maybe an integra zc engine or a b16b or whatever fits. after that i will save for a turbo kit and have intake exaust and add a stage 1 clutch. Oh the plans i have

At least you have a 2nd gen, because if you riced up a 1st genner like mine i would kill myself(A figure of speech for the sarcastic impaired)

At least you are putting it into the engine, even though I wouldn't go that far on a crx(actually any 4 banger).

actually man if done right any modified 4 banger could take on an 8 cylinder, it all depends how far u take it, but for some reason it gives me pleasure for a 4 banger to take on a 8 cylinder

True but by the time you do the economics, it just doesn't add up. You are going to have to spend about two to three times as much as a person who buys a V-8 (A '95 Z-28 Camaro with a 6 speed manual can easily be had in good condition for $7-$8K).

Mine was $3800 w/ SS rims, very decent tires, new engine with 8k on it @ the time, Lunati cam, planed and decked heads, accell igntion, B&M short shift. Now with a few more grand over the winter Im hoping for a 500 hp daily driver.

Yeah, but you need to realize that your Camaro was a STEAL at that price. As you well know I have shopped around for Z-28s (in two different states now) and the only ones that I can find in good shape run $7-$8K and it seems to be pretty true around the country. If you really hunt around in some areas you can find them in good shape for $5-$6K but it all depends on the market. As for the 500HP daily driver, man I sure hope you have tons of money set aside for gas.

Im getting 8 mpg on on my ill tuned 350hp at the moment. I expect a PROPERLY setup 500 hp car wont be that much worse. Im almost considering a 01 or 02 V6 with 5 speed and Ttops as a daily driver and winter ride.

Why not just get a cheap little honda and call it good? I dunno, with you having a Z-28 and talking about a mercedes it just doesn't seem to make sense to get anything else but a little gas miser at this point. Much easier on gas and a hell of alot better for winter driving (front wheel drive versus rear).

depends on how you define better

rwd is the best in snow if your not afraid of it or have 4x4 to fall back on, man i miss my truck

Rylinkus · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2006, 05:05:00 PM »

The Mercedes is still up in the air. If I get that I may sell the Z28 and just find a winter ride. I want one 500hpish car. And one Daily Driver. That in no way means it needs to be boring. A v6 RWD car may be fine. Maybe a Miata with hardtop. I have no idea. It will all get worked out over the winter.
