Default hopefully gettin a crx

I hoping to get my hands on a crx soon. I don't know much about hondas seeing I went from a mustang to wrx but I plan on doing a ls swap into it since I heard they have low compression then turboing it. I was wondering where are good places to get my hands on parts for crx's I also wanna do soem body stuff to it like a jdm front, some rota slipstreams, I just dont know any places/good places to find the stuff for hondas

check out our site sponsors b/c many offer coupons for HAN members

for rota wheels try www.machiii.net or revolution motorsports as they are distributors and you can get great deals from them

as for turboing an ls do a search on this board especially in the engine tech forum as we have some members who have been building n/a & fi honda engines for decades

ls is a great platform for turbo b/c it's lower compression and factory bulletproof reliability...it is one of the better engines too boost in stock trim

depends on how wild you want to get...if you flare the fenders you can fit some wide tires in there but most usually go with a 6.5in - 7in wide tire...it also depends on what you plan on doing with the car...daily driver, road racer, autox, drag racer, etc.

If you want Rota wheels, PM "Cashis EG8," he is a HAN approved vendor of them.

Forget that. If you like crx(s), then go for it. They are a fun car to build with mods out the ying yang available to you. They are light as hell and can hold the b series wonderfully. They handle great, bad ass as hell for a box or whatever system you like, and you never have to haul more than one friend around at any given time. Ive had an ITR, 03 si, 99 si, s2000, 93 prelude h22, three crx(s), and an 1982 civic hb. My favorite and I still have one, is for various reasons the CRX. Yeah im nuts. The s2000 and itr were great (high payments =( ). The H22 was a blast. The most fun was my crx(s). The downfall? girlfriends hated em. maybe thats part of my love for the little bastards.
