Money isnt a issue and I am building what I want

No matter how much money I got I couldnt part with a honda and I would never part with my EF.

Built & Boosted K24 with a K20 type R head and Type R Transmission.

Since money is an issue however, I'm swapping a B20 into my '88 Si. Will be boosted after income tax refund

Like everyother. K20 in CRX would be niced. And maybe JUN internals... Awww...

And if i would have helluvamuch money. I would build C32 CRX. That would be awesome.

And ofcourse. B20 block with B16 head, and with lots of tuning stuff!

Hmm. These for a start. :D

If I had to spend it on Hondas...

I'd build over a dozen CRX's with most of Honda's good engines in them. I'd have several cars with the different B family engines in them, one with a D engine, one with an H, and a couple with K heart transplants. Then of course I'd have a couple Frankenstein ones, all pieced together from random engines. I'd have one 9 second drag Rex, and one completely stock, cherry 90-91 Si model with the lowest mileage I could find.

That is what I would build if money wasn't an issue.

I totally forgot about that... It would be kind of neat to have an IRL V8 or one of BAR Honda's F1 engines in the back too! With those engines, it would be so shrill and loud, your ears would probably bleed though.

I may get flamed but I'd do the ultimate sleeper. Find a no rust, no body damage Yugo and find a way to put in a B18c5 in it. It'd be kinda like the Festiva that J leno has with a taurus sho motor in it.

That's something along the lines of what I was thinking.


&lt;---I'd have my own personal EF warehouse and when you walked in there would be EF's lined up on the perimeter in their respective "pits" with keys in and ready to go. All would be functional and USED for that function (i.e. none of that "don't touch" museum junk)

If it had to be a CRX, Id probably have a CRX carbon fiber chassis made with an all motor K24.

If money was not an issue....I would buy Honda.Hire the engineering team behind the k-series motors too make a 8 or 10 cylinder k45 or k50.....Have them put it in a mint condition CRX.From there on....the rest would be history...........and probably the downfall of Honda
