Very little rust marks on the sunroof, but nowhere else.
O2 sensors blew due to stainless manifold install.
The real spots car entry level. I've driven several cars with more power than my Rex and none of them putted such big a smile on my face.
Many of them have been trashed, so make a wise buy. I've purchased mine after looking to eleven Rex's. My dad tried her, and bought one for him and mum.
Beautiful lines, superb handling, very rewarding drive. The engine is stunning, I advise to install an air induction kit, makes the vtec sound glorious, and when it goes, it GOES!
Huge aftermarket parts, i've seen tuned cars doing the quarter mile in 11 seconds.
Your living in lala land if you think you've seen tuned crx's or other cars doing quarter mile in 11 seconds, the maclaren f1 does quarter mile in about 11 seconds, it's the fastest accelerating car, and the one with the highest top speed production car in the world.
0-60 in 3.1 seconds, 0-100 in 6.3 seconds, 240 mph tested top speed, no tuned car has ever reached anywhere near this level of performance. if I was driving an F1, you'd be so far back I wouldn't be able to see you in my rearview mirror!
Actually, "tuned" CRXs, and other hondas run into the 11s and lower all of the time. This usually involes forced induction on a B-series motor, however there have even been a few examples of NA cars that run into the 9s! True, no honda will ever equal a supercar. A CRX won't get much above 150 MPH. However, you should get your facts straight before posting comments such as you have.
I would also like to point out that the mclaren F1 is not street legal in very few areas. Thus it is not a practical vehicle for anyone, but a millionaire or a collector. So it is no comparison to the CRX. Personally I am not impressed by 1/4 mile times. If you want to race me with your mclaren I will be happy to do so. Please don't cry when I beat you with a motorbike I bought for 300 bucks on the way to meet you.
Actually the first fwd car to break the 10 sec barrier was a mk 2 crx with a wheely bar. Look it up!
Actually there are many tuners that have made the quarter mile in 10 seconds. Go to nopi. com and check the times on many japanese cars. Many of them are under 10 seconds.
The cars running under 10 seconds are not stock street cars.
I checked the NOPI. com website, just like you said. The site states these cars are Pro Stock, etc. Come on, check your REAL facts first.
These 'tuned' CRXs often do have forced induction and I have seen some fast ones. I prefer to keep mine stock and use it to save on gas. Then use the money I save with efficiency and reliability to modify a real car. You soup up your commuter hatch to be fast. But I would rather cruise in a car built for high performance and looks sexy to boot and will last longer than a car that will wind up in a junkyard in a few years after the motor blows. I'm sorry, but if you think a CRX is a sexy or should go fast, you haven't been in too many cars that are both.
Do you realize that you can make a 11 second with about 6000 dollars for everything including the car. If you'd rather spend at least ten times that just to look "sexy" doing it. if you think your going to get 60,000 just by saving on gas your stupid. Also if you really knew anything about cars you would realize that for about 2000 you can get a perfectly good b16 to replace a motor if it blows up. Maybe you can get me a price on a new corvette engine.
CRX's are perfect to swap an engine in to get good 1/4 mile times. They don't cost much to get, you can get one cheap I bought my crx for $1200 and a good b16 for under $2000 dollars. It runs perfect and I've have had no problems yet, even though I race it often against muscle cars and win most of the time.
"even though I race it often against muscle cars and win most of the time."
I can imagine the ones you pick out, a 2.8 litre camaro?, 4 cylinder fox body mustang?, one from 1978 with a piston slap, 200,000+ miles on the odo, and half the body rusted off? And as far a building cheap 6000$ hot rods goes you can pick up an old chevy in decent shape for 2-3k buy a brand new 350 (320 hp) for 1.7 k and have at least 1.3 k to spend on some upgrades.
To 20:12.
You must have bought a 1994 Chevy Corsica and put a 350 in it or maybe a s-10.
Just a quick note to the people banging on about f1's.
A CRX running 400 bhp like mine (turbo/type r engine swap) has the same power to weight ratio to a McLaren F1, therefor once the CRX is moving and not suffering with wheel spin it would pull almost as hard and as fast as the F1.
There are cars with better power to weight than a Mc F1, but it doesn't mean they are as fast, its not just the power to weight that makes the MC F1 what it is, its the complete package and all the research and development that goes into it. It's a perfectly balanced speed machine, your civic is not.
Yeah c'mon people CRX is the way to go! I guess it's OK if mummy and daddy can afford to buy you a big tough muscle car, I bet you would feel real cool driving it. if you are thinking "yeah" think again! The honda crx has got to be the most FUN car I have ever experienced! ya can't find nothing better for its price. Go and get one for yourself rich kids, turbo the vtec and kiss muscle cars goodbye, crx is a winner hands down!!!
Civics were made to be economy cars and are supposed to be practical not fast. And since crx's have only two seats they're not even that. Theres a reason why actual performance cars usually cost more the $1200. I'd like to see you in a race that lasts more than 30 seconds your little Honda block would probably crack in half. CRX's are not made to be fast. If CRX's are faster and better than every car in the the world, which the owners seem to think they are, why do people still buy Camaros and sti's?
