CRX 1.3 84-87 1342 cc = 1780lb
CRX 1.5 84-87 1488 cc = 1900lb
Both with a single 45mm carb. 1.5 can run OEM FI.


And just for fun:

GT3
CRX 88-91 1493 cc = 1980lb
CRX Si 88-91 1590 cc = 1980lb

Dual 45mm carbs, but Si has to run 42mm restrictors.

The last time I ran it at +-200 whp , it blew sky high . In 1998 I rebuilt it with the above mentioned parts , did the whole season and won the championship .....it was ultra reliable but at 160whp. It is presently in storage and hasn't run on a track since 2000 ( I go get groceries with it from time to time). I haven't the time to run it and it is looking for a home.

try this website to check Tremblant dates...www.lecircuit.com and yes those Konis are kick ***...we'll see for real in Topeka.

hope to see you sometime soon

Hey you slacker, what the hell have you been doing lately? How's the ITR? Have you got rid of the 88 CRX? I'm hot and heavy back into autocross again.

Hit me up some time so we can chat.
