Default V8 guy here

hey everyone. I'm a big V8 kind of guy.

However, I got my start in imports. Specifically a 91 CRX Si. I loved that car and was sad to sell it a few years ago. The idea of getting another Honda has been appealing for a long time. Not sure when, but i'll get another one. And I'm eager to learn about all the stuff i've missed since I've been.....gone (from imports) i guess.

-Jeff

This post is more important then what you think. An introduction never hurt anyone, especially in our CRX forum, go back to the integra forum with that kind of attitude!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

My Z isn't a total beast....yet. I'll be putting in a LS2 402 or L92 415 stroker next year. I'm on LS1tech as GoFast908Z.

I made a thread about reviving a crx, any help would be appreciated.

Your post is worthless, no one is impressed you don't like camaros, you don't look cool you look like a closed minded fool, congrats.

You do know even Honda lovers like my self know how ******* brutal LS1 cars are and there is a reason why I daily mine, these F-bods can run 9s cam only.

PLEASE show me a crx that does that, hell show me a street legal crx that runs 9s.

They also can handle, so don't bother that lamer bitch out claim.

I also get over 20 mpg city and over 30highway.

Yea camaros suck I should daily a b16 crx and be jdm instead of fast.

If you look at my posts on ls1tech you'll see the reamings I give to the domestic only fools too. But wake up nothing will beat the small block chevy for bang for the buck.

Most all agree bang for buck no matter your goal if you want to race a 4th gen ls1 car is about the best you can do. Hmmm nearly .90 skidpad 350 HP and torque for the same price a EM1 goes for?

i started out a v8 man but can't afford the gas and the inefficiency. why should i work on twice the cylinders when my work and maintenace can be cut by more than half. my 1998 v8 pickup takes more work than any of all my hondas ever have. its all about money and time for me.

My 5.7L 8ets better milage then my friends 2.4L 4.

Stop pulling tired cards on hating v8s because you have some crummy 8 in your truck all v8s suck? ahh that makes perfect sence.

It's all about money and time for me too I want to go fast cheap with out swapping turboing changing this that and the other thing.

I could hit 11s for a grand or less. You can't do that in a Honda.
