Re: My mid engine RWD turbo CRX
I know nothing is there but can you show some under the hood shots. I am curious to see the possibility as using it as the "trunk".

Re: My mid engine RWD turbo CRX
lol i tried to make a post with a poll on it for how much people thought the car was worth, and i got flamed by like 10 moderators saying it didnt have anything to do with "tech" and that i had violated my terms of use...I think they thought i was trying to put a "for sale" in the main crx category

ha ha, still plenty of room up there. Im considering doing another one of these conversions to a more daily drivable car and finishing the under hood out as the "trunk"

Very cool!
Did you add a secondary water pump or keep the stock one? How are water temps with the long hose run?
And how much do you think it owes you?

Re: My mid engine RWD turbo CRX
Have to admit its pretty sick
kinda wish you would have paid more attention to details on the car and make it look a little better sense you put all the time and effort into the rwd. Not trying to be a dick or anything just saying.
When you took it to the track what did they say about it being rwd and i cant believe it passed tech lol

Re: My mid engine RWD turbo CRX
I grabbed an air/water intercooler off eBay for $60 shipped. It was off a subaru legacy. Since my car was only going to be used for drag racing, I didnt run a heat exchanger. I just ran hoses to a tank, and I fill it with ice water between runs. Just drain a little water and dump in more ice each time. I am using a boat bilge pump that I picked up at walmart for $15 to pump the water. There are a few pics on our website: www.cheaptrixracing.com.
Just an idea.

Re: My mid engine RWD turbo CRX
I guess I get to be the ******* here, but color me not so impressed. Pretty much ghettofabbed through and through, ugly wiring, no rear brakes, ****ed up harness bar, the list goes on.
A for effort, C- for execution.
