The narration in this video is a little stupid sounding, but I love the cars! It's old, but I thought I would share...

crx will neva l0se...

 

I love that show, especially with it's in english. I think it's called top setup if anyone wants to search form more vids like it on you tube

 

IMO, the best part is when Tsuchiya in the NSX realizes Yamaji's CRX is losing pace. I think it's at 3:40 in the vid. He starts late braking, entering the corners really fast, and having to correct.

 

that crx is moving. anyone know the specs of the crx?

 

I have that one, so cool. The crx is very gutted and in the end of the show the drivers all pointed out the CRX won because of its very light weight. IIRC it has a B20 VTEC, estimated 240hp on the video it said in translation.

 

I read somewhere that the engine was a carbed B16 stroked to 2 liters.

 

SS-WORKS race EF8 CRX with a 2.0l B18C Spec-R delivering 240ps
G-FORCE race City (!) with a 1.3l engine delivering 160ps
JUN AUTO race EK Civic running a 2.1l B18C Spec-R delivering 246ps
SPOON SPORTS Group-N Super Taikyu series race S2000 delivering 260ps
REDLINE Group-N Super Taikyu Altezza deliverying 250ps
ESPRIT street-tuned NSX with a C32B delivering 340ps !

Thanks for the specs... Now someone guess the weight? I've seen some of the 88' crx's in japan as low as 1565lbs without the driver, or at least that's what someone at it listed in one of the "option" type circuit videos... It's definitely below 1900lbs w/o the driver... Plus the Japanese drivers look to be 120-145 pounds ringing wet! LOL

Just curious to see what you guys thought about the weight, but it's a cool clip to watch...

Shunei Kawasaki, the driver of the SSWorks CRX, is shorter than Tsuchiya.

In the movie I have, it said the car weighs 840kg. So x 2.2 = 1848 no driver

 

Yeah definitely a light car, anyone know what year/trim that car is? 88's where the lightest offered and then they got progressively heavier over time, but most of the crap they added on could be removed for racing... But Si door bars, and front bumper support weight the most, but I would never remove them unless I was going to replace them with an upgrade... Like door bars on my cage...

Thanks for the info!
