Fake-R Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 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. This is true, but I thought it would have been more focused on SCCA type of races, with a simpler motor build, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8 APEKS Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 May get more power out of a 5spd but good luck with the launch I'll stick with my auto until it pops Mine is auto too. And I'm happy with it, it's been tolerating 250whp for a while now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake-R Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 it looks like a nice little hobby car, but i certainly hope its not his DD. It's not. Infact, when we met up, it was his first time taking the car out, since the S/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Mac Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yeah I can see putting close to that amount into a car pretty easily. My buddy has an Aebs motor that ran him about $6500....just the long block. Not to mention the turbo and all that other blah blah blah. I love these things, and as far as I'm concerned a cool car is a cool car....unless it's a scion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Maybe the CRX guy doesn't want the car to look like anything special for a reason... It's called a sleeper. And it really doesn't look THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it really doesn't look THAT bad. That's exactly it. His plan is to satin-black the whole car eventually, without any flashy wheels, bumpers or anything. He sure fooled me, so it's working for him, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageVolvo Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I have not even done any internal engine work. Check my Sig. I did not spend this amount but to build my car according to the mods in my sig is 20k With a built motor and custom turbo and injectors/tuning you could spend 3-5k on an engine. It's not that hard if you use top grade parts and cut no corners And yeah a civic done right is wicked. They are so light. Of course it's still just a civic :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
