Default Some one who drives a CRX let me know some simple things...

I just had to total out my 96 Vtec Lude, and my buddy that owns a shop ( highly respected by me ) is building me a Crx. It is a 91 Si CRX, its black ( been repainted in 99 ) with tokico blues, springs frim a reputable company, New invidia exhaust, SiR swap, carbon hood, D & S rotors, new axis pads, SS brake lines, Putin my w7 in it and some other minor stuff, new water pump and t belt and stuff.

My questions are how does it compare to a 96 h22a Lude as far as off the line? Are the brakes gonna be better than my lude? Will my gas mileage get that much better? Over all feel whats the difference? It would be cool if the comments came from someone who has had a chance to drive a h22a lude, so as for the comparison. Thanks guys

If the b16 is in good shape/running right, you will love it. Trust me.

You are already building the car, why don't you just drive it when it is done and find out for yourself?

Yes, i will find out as soon as i get the car... Obviously. Thanks for the replies. I wonthave the car for a month, hopefully less! And yup the engine will be perfect. Hmotors...... Very trustable mechanic. Do you know a shop that will swap a B16 in a Si CRX and give you a 60 no problem guarantee on anything related to the swap? I do. THanks guys, I hope it handles like or better than the lude! Ill give you pictures when i get em. Mental Picture: Black Si ( 91 ) Tokicos and H&R springs, Rota C8's, Bronze, Invidia exhaust SiR Caron hood.... blah blah.... anywho. Thanks later
