Default CRX build!

I am in the process of finding a clean CRX shell!

I got the speed itch again after owning 2 fast cars and trying to settle down with a 2003 Caddy SLS seville I cant help but wanting to get back.


so I'm buying a CRX shell and going to town...

I want 12's and 110+ traps

my plans are B18c1/5 or a LsVtec swap either motor with cams and mildly built w/ full bolt ons running through a b16 tranny. I registered to this site to help with questions and tips along the way of the build!

I'll start off with what b16 tranny yr am I looking for? cable right?

"brandoom" I cleary stated I didnt.. I'm in the process of looking for the car.

No I'm not just some 15yr old ricer kid talking out of his ***.

I've owned a 91GT h/c/i, a 98 T/A ls1 m6 and a 16g 95GST.

Im daily driving a 2003 Cadillac Seville on Dub 20's. This CRX shouldnt be a problem to buy and build.

I live in tampa.. we have a great forum.

I'm sure I will find a CRX there for relatively cheap.. 800 or less.


then its motor/tranny. After I locate those I'm just gona grab the seats, wheels & a fresh coat of paint.

probably gona do a LsVtec with a Si tranny. Unless I can get a GSR bottom end and I'll throw a b16 head w/cams on it.


I got a good job and I def want to do this!
