While Honda thinks about reintroducing one of its most glorious models, we can't help but blurt out our full support, - this is a no-brainer, guys.
The CRX was brilliant when Honda developed it almost 20 years ago, and the tearaway combination of light and potent hasn't lost its appeal. Honda is believed to be seriously considering developing a two-seat sports car with those qualities, using its new Global Small Platform. The car, which Honda insiders are already calling the CRX, could appear in late 2004 or early 2005.
For the Japanese market, the CRX will exist in two forms: an entry-level model with a 1.0-litre DOHC VTEC triple producing appoximately 74 kW (the engine derived from the block used in Honda's Insight hybrid coupé), and a hardcore 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (also with VTEC) generating 110-115 kW. Not incredible, until you realise that the target weight for the four-cylinder coupé is said to cut under 800 kg. Put it this way - that's 200 kg less than the Mini and 175 kg lighter than an MR2.
This gives the 1.6-litre variant a tidy 7.27 kg/kW ratio in the worst case. By comparison, a 225 kW VXII SS Commodore has a kilogram-to-kilowatt ratio of 7.52. So, if Honda builds it, the little CRX will stand-out quick. Transmissions proposed are a five-speed manual for the 1.0-litre three cylinder, and a six-speed manual for the 1.6-litre. Use of Honda's CVT is said to be under study, but is not yet an official part of the programme.
The new two-seater is small, and information from Honda indicates a wheelbase in the 2250 to 2350 mm range, overall length of less than 3650 mm, width of 1690 mm and height below 1270 mm. This makes it a strictly a two-pew affair.

but back on topic, i'd go with the hf. Better platform, and i suspect that it would out-perform handling-wise mod for mod compared to the first gen teg.
btw, my $299 maaco ambassador paint job lasted me 6 months before it started peeling
save up for some better paint than a $300 pj. if there's any rust, do a quickie patchup by yourself for now just to stop the rust from spreading.

I just did the conversion, 110-115kW converts to around 147.5-154.2hp. I would assume they'd just use the 160hp K20A3. Weight/horsepower would come in around 11.9 to 11.4 lb/hp, or 11.0 lb/hp with the K20A3. That would be one damn fast car. Compair to 12.5 lb/hp for an '03 Mustang GT, 13.5 lb/hp for an Integra TypeR, or 19.7 lb/hp for an '87 Civic Si.

yah itd be something to compete with the mr2, sl230, and other entry small 2 seater sports cars, i think itd be a great idea, plus they would be able to introduce it at a decent price compared to what else is out there.
