I'm looking ito buying a older Honda that can be modded for speed. Is the Crx anygood and how much hp do they have?

 

they are small and weak, but its a good car to learn how to drive on, ill sell you my 93 MX-6 .. im justy about to paint it

 

they are small and weak. but they are cheap and can be fast as ****. it your into drag racing watch pro import drag races and they mostly use CRX's and hatches. and unlike what most people seem to think you can have a reasonably quick crx without doing a motor swap. you just have to know what your doing. crx= good choice in my book

 

Have any of you race a Camaro or Firebird before? Whats it take for a Honda to beat w/o forced induction?

 

D series motors are good to an extent, they can be really quick

 

try to find a first or second gen crx SI. they can be found at about $1000 in good condition.

 

how much hp do they have?

 

Ive beat a 5.0 with Posi with my crx.. But im a way better driver then the other guy so that was a big factor.. I still won

 

So the 5.0 with a good driver wouldve easily beaten you?

Were do you people live who dont find deals, I have bought and drove many nice crx's and civic hatches home for $100-$1000 and most of them were Si's.

 

A CRX is cheap and very easy to mod

beating those would be easy with a D series personally,. unless they are real built up, depends if they drive manual or automatic, many factors man. with some internal work, its possible, not very hard either.

 

cant go wrong with a crx for a first car........

 

a crx hf was my first honda....infact its my first car

Not much... a B18c5 CRX (which can be had for about $5000) Runs mid to low 13's on street tires, soooo.... how many camaro and firedbirds can do that for that cheap?

Get a CRX, you'll never regret it

you wont get harrassed by ricers and cops as much

 

There's a guy from the Toronto area Paul Bhawan from Splitfire. He now drags Canada's fastest import which is a 5th gen civic @ 8.66(personal best) 8.84(canadian record). But anways, before he built this car, he drove a 4th gen civic si with the original SI motor. He ran something like 11.3 at his best with that 105hp SI motor + mods.

I'm begining to enjoy my sedan more than my hatch...

Also, I would avoid anything pre 88... Not many parts available, and swaps are more difficult.
