I have a 1988 Honda CRX hf, with a b16a1 motor with the following mods: 2 1/4 inch piping, muffler, 7.5 lb fly, CM stage 1 clutch, and K&N filter, should i be able to beat a stock type R?

 

no way in hell.........

 

Yes, 1st, 2nd, into 3rd, Yes.

BUT an R will beat you up top....4th and 5th

Go find a ITR and find out!

 

Beating a completly stock car isn't much.......

 

 

i've got an '88 civic hatch w/ b16, I/H/E... and i beat my brother's ITR by a few car lengths, plus the fact that he had a jump on me. but, i'm also completely stripped out... so... go find an ITR and line 'em up!

 

you will be amaze how quick the crx can be , by doing weight reduction (with a swap )

 

yeah my CRX with a stock b16 was very fast for some reason, I beat ITRs no problem.

 

isnt the curb weight on a stock 88hf like 1800lbs?

 

1850lb

 

first off a special, shot out to my mentally challenged buddy, who likes using my comp and logging in, instead of creating his own account here.......

sorry for this rather lame thread

and yea its 1,800 !!!! i found out the hard way (that bastard) :/

 

A '88 HF with some weight removed along with a B16 that is running right will beat a stock ITR any day. Two words power:weight.

Exactly,if the CRX is lightened a lot it will get far enough ahead where 4th and 5th gear won't matter.

 

I'm from Portugal and own a CRX VTEC which is a B16A1 standard with cat and AC. Have many friends with ITRs (>8). Tests are done all Friday and Saturday nights. I belong to this group and NEVER a CRX can or will beat an ITR. Not even in 1st, 2nd and 3rd !!! Not even by the weight. NEVER.
