Fake-R Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Not many cars around my area mess with me, but I had one on the way back from Ikea. I first spotted him, and just saw the rear of the car, red EF, exhaust, billet rear arms, roll cage. Caught my interest, so played around with him a bit, then finally lined up. He instantly put about 3 cars on me from a 40, and just amazed me. Later on that night, I'm talking to my buddies at the local hangout, and mention the car. One of my friends knew him, turns out the car was gutted, 1600lbs wet, b18c1 swap, full suspension, and was running mid 12's BEFORE he installed his Jackson Racing supercharger. Sadly, I didn't hear the whine of it, only the spooling of my turbo, and after meeting the owner of the CRX, it's all he talked about. (How loud my turbo is) His car was amazingly clean, and what a sleeper! Popped the hood to reveal this: Can't tell from that pic, but it's a PVC intake, mated to the supercharger. The car is insane.

mdlimy Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 hondas are deadly but just look at it...its still a pos, if i put the time and money i have in my 855 into an ef i could be running 11s, but its just so played out :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is, chances of our Volvo's getting into the 11's are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Burnsy Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 but its just so played out That and the fact that you know if you get hit by some jerk off your car won't break apart into a million pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's built for auto-x, not just going straight. I didn't understand the 25K either, but his suspension is all custom billet pieces, not off the shelf stuff.

L8 APEKS Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Eh...nothing super impressive about that, but a really nice sleeper! The 244 is about to hit 12's, and I don't have much done to it. It's also 1,000 lbs heavier than that CRX (curb was 2600 lbs even on the track scale). I have about $2200 into it (car, engine, and mods). Lose another 1,000 lbs, and it's right there with the CRX. just gotta get yourself into a lighter car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACStar Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Eh...nothing super impressive about that, but a really nice sleeper! Don't be hatin...... Nothing super impressive about a 855 with cams and a "19T" trapping 98mph. Relax.... I'm joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepuma Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I had a crx for 5yrs. with a b61a and JAckson racing supercharger. MY car looked a hell of a lot better than that, ran 11.2's steady in the QM. Weighted 1900lbs. Chased down M3's and 911's all day long. Man that was a fun car. I realize my R will never be that fast but I find solace in knowing that if I crash I won't end up in a million pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught my interest, so played around with him a bit, then finally lined up. He instantly put about 3 cars on me from a 40, and just amazed me. 2 clues. You saw the roll cage and it isn't riced out which typically means the interior is stripped and there is something more serious going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
