Default Cheap Potential H4 Starting Point

For those of you who still want to build your own check this out:

I have GOT to believe that a 2nd Gen Integra would be a solid competitor in H4. It gives up a little in the weight department but it is a DOHC with more power stock than what most of the other H4 cars are putting down in race trim.

I have seen these cars kick *** and take names in ITA . . .

I bet you could get this car race-ready and competitive for between $3500 and $5000. I would love to see one of these built and run with us.

Or you could buy a d16 and drop it into what's left of my CRX racecar for a LOT less and have "the" car for H4, as proven by James Evans. Welding a cage in that Integra will cost you over $1k alone, suspension will be almost another $1k, exhaust will be about $500, SS brake lines are about $300, I just paid $400 for the rear disk brakes, camber kit is about $250,....

Why pay for all of that on a street car that needs a new engine when you can get a racecar that needs a new engine?

$2k takes it.....

Yeah, but when you are done, you just have a dented old rusty RX7, instead of a kick *** ITA CRX that lapped you!

AND you can't do Honda Challenge with it!
