Just a question for a cool project if you had some $$! Doesn't seem like it would be crazy complicated besides get the Gear Selector to work and maybe cooling

rear wheel drive! Whats the point of all this power we have if you can't put it down, I have a Turbo b16 Ek and its horrible right now, you can't launch it its a waste of power. I thinking modding the cars in general is waste but you getted hooked. Someones idea is always a waste to someone. Me putting a turbo kit on my car could be looked at as a waste of time and money to someone else. Just thought it would be a cool idea. why did that guy put an nsx engine in the back of the crx? He wanted to and its cool as ****! just my .02

I think that'd probably be bad @ss if you had the time and money to do it. Don't get me wrong, it'd be pretty pointless, but it'd still be cool and definitely unique.

The AWD system in 4g's is pretty craptastic in a roadracing application. I'd much rather have a predictable RWD car to put down power. What issue of Hondatuning is that conversion mentioned in?

if you cant put the power down get some slicks and learn to feather the pedal on launch.

Note: I said roadracing, not dragracing. The FWD handicap in RR is not being able to control the balance of the car as easily as a RWD car.

The first ever run of the 'CR-NSX' was at Silver Dollar Raceway in Georgia at the gay NOPI show they had last year. Car made three runs that day. Ran 11s no problem for the first two runs, however, on the third the driver sprayed the NAWWSSS, and there went the rings on the motor. Basically it was all driver error, because later on that day the guy drove someone's Supra. The owner did not have the clothing requirements met for the track, so he let this other guy drive it. Somehow, he managed to run a 14 second E.T. with a 130+mph trap speed.

There is a guy here in ontario who has a twin vr6 golf. it was at importfest, I think it was running 13s but having difficulites, should be faster this year. I know its not roadracing, but something interesting none the less.

I saw a very old Car and Driver Mag. from the mid 1980's They put a second 1.5 si motor in an si. THey had a some problems with getting the engines to work together.

I know that there is a Civic wagon with 4 wd. I bet it was a d series motor and only guys with d's could ever hope to get that transmission to work in a crx.
