ive never heard of it but it looks like a pretty cool/rare car to have has anyone else heard of it/own one?

yea seen it b4, but certain cars shouldnt do certain things

 

There's also an 91 Sedan around where I work that was turned into a truck !.....

 

 

id stick with rare. it looks like someone took a 80's mustang and scrunched it down to crx size

 

I like those a LOT. The 2g CRX's don't look good as convertibles, but the 1G looks like a natural convertible. Pretty cool IMO.

 

poor poor crx.... they never had a chance

I like it, but the torsional rigiditiy probably went to ****. Much better than a front end conversion IMO

Edit: these things were production? I never knew that...

 

Not sure that they were produced by Honda, but I swear that in the past I've read about dealerships and other companies taking a CRX from the factory and turning them into convertibles, then reselling them. Kind of how Saleen used to take Focii and install nawz and a body kit and resell them.

 

The company is called Straman and they make vert versions of cars. They made a few versions of the 90-96 300zx twin turbo's before Nissan started making them

 

that's actually pretty damn hot on a 1g. i've seen pictures of the 2nd gen crx convertable and it really sucks bad, but that looks good on the 1g.


any more info/pics on that car?

 

reminds me of those mercury convertibles.

 

I think the car looks like *** now.
He's right on about it looking like mini 1980's Mustang .

 

not bad imo

 

yea so..was this an OEM version of the car or...a dealer modification by a 3rd party contracted by the dealer itself...OR a 3rd party contracted by Honda and sold as a normal honda?

 

Not mine, but for those interested.....

 

 

poor crx

 

poor crx... It seems 1998 was a scarey year for the honda crx, just think of all the perfect rust free shells that got fucked up doing **** like that or supra tails ect.,,

 

uhh, the orange one is a bit much IMHO.

WOW...he must have won the Uncle Ben's award for that one!!!
That definately qualified him for 15 ricebowls..

 

I liked the silver one. That orange one looks like Rice went to town.

I think it suites the 1g. Considering it wasnt exactly a fantastic looking car to start with. They took something olds-kool and made it even cooler.

As somone else said tho, torsional rigidity... lol would corner like a wet sponge with enough flex to take on Claudia Schiffer.

hahahahaha.

 

that first gen looks good. Like it was made that way from the factory. It even has a trunk lid. That orange one is discusting.
