Crx vs. 2001 Prelude base 5speed - Honda Prelude Forum

B0b · 05-30-2003, 11:20 PM

Aight this kid is talking trash to me for this other kid. Apparently he has the CRX base engine with type r pistons with "every bolt on possible" and that includes throttle body and ignition or some other crap he was talking about.

Anyone have any trouble with modded CRX's? I mean I've killed so many GSR's but the CRX is so light. I don't know. It will be in a week cause I'm leaving for the ocean. hit me with some responses

if its a crx with a "base" engine, you will beat it. as long as there was no engine swap..

*Gasp!* Mr. Prelude himself is having second thoughts

you shouldn't lose to a crx with a base engine unless it is like fully built or something like that or FI...just bolt ons shouldn't bee good enough to be faster than you

i raced my roomates my crx wita b16a jdm motor swap w/ short ram intake...he had a completely gutted interior, volk te-37's, carbon fiber hood...in simpler words, he was completely weightless. regardless, i still beat him with just intake and exhaust

if it's the base engine, a 1.6 sohc engine, I don't know if he can put type r pistons in there... a D16 with Type R pistons?? I just don't believe it.
