Hey Im new and working on a rear engine crx
Lets see where to begin umm just started. The idea is a tube chassis, roll cage, alum. floors, fab. up the rear of the crx mount a H22 h2b and make it look as street legal as possible
i will post pics soon IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN
open for any suggestion
Thanks
Build it, Love it, Race it.

Until you realizes it's a waste money or you fucked up doing something wrong and the chassis can't be repaired properly. I don't wish any bad luck but alot of projects like these don't get finished. Good luck to ya.
Why is it a waste?
The people competing in the SCCA GT4 class have been doing it for over a decade.
Are these cars a waste? The can lap a race track faster than a 911 so i feel that it is a pretty big achievement.
Are you going for a race setup or a street setup?
mainly for drag but i still want to drive it on the streetWhy is it a waste?

Its going to be hard thought

Drag? Um, that i do think it a bit of an off setup. Mahdavi's midengined V6 CRX was rather slow for all the money they threw at it.
Mid engined cars belong on a road course. You'd probably have more success if you try that instead.
well the way im looking at it is in most cases a stock h22 powered crx is usually somewhere in the 13s or 12s with traction problems maybe and i am planning on h2b too
so my crx is mid eng. rwd So less traction problems because your intire car weight is at the rear tires
now a modified car that will prob. weight 750lbs or a little more should run a much better time due to power to weight ratios
i will prob. have to put weights in the front to keep it down thought
and yes the fab work has already started the car weights about 400lbs right now
no windows,hatch,or doors and some cutting already
but thanks for the advice and if the drag does not work i will keep road course in mind

Yep, they are still a waste in my opinion! I love CRXs and I'm a purest. So when you chop one up to make it something that it's not suppose to be, I view it as destroying it. Mint CRXs are becoming harder and harder to find (with 88's becoming even more difficult to find) because ricers, wreaks, and rust. His year was the best out of all of the 2nd generation, and now there's one less decent one left. Plus, CRXs do not need to be rear wheel drive to perform. Cool it lap a track faster than a 911, I'm pretty sure Hasports one can too. Anyways, I doubt we'll see eye to eye on this topic since I'm a CRX enthusiast.
I can respect that. Maybe 4 years ago i'd have seen eye2eye with you since i did understand the JDM thing before it got...old. Anyways, i guess as you are a CRX purest, i am a motorsport purest which is why i remember looking at these crx creations with an odd look until i saw them go around a race track. To be honest, most of these have turned into almost Nascar like creations so calling them crxs is a stretch but the good news for you is that most of these are built out of AT generation CRXs.
Kinda the same when I see a 13b in a 911.
im in the process of building a Front engined FWD MR2!!!! its gonna be SIIIIIIIICK!
-Super cool .gif TO UNBAN JITB, JM, Buttons AND NEMISIS here-
are u being sarcastic??
yeahhhhhh you likeeeee when she does thattttttt
Hey guys, I put a 2jz in my civic.
It has been done before on another car.are u being sarcastic??
When you say "IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN", what do you mean? Have you started the fab work, or do you just have an idea?
Back to being stock and slow
If it turns out good, sweet. It's not ruining a CRX, they are just Hondas lol.
No sig ATM
true but miatas are

like i told the person that wanted to put a honda motor into a ford, DO IT i personally would like to see what it can do. hell im all for a rwd or as some would say mid engine.
^What...does....that...mean???
"hell im all for a rwd or as some would say mid engine."
lol what it means is that i like rwd and am all for it
but
in this instant its not just rwd its a mid engine drive
i failed at explaining i know
It is still rwd no matter where the engine is. I think you're over complicating it.
What exactly is a MID engine DRIVE? lol.
sounds cool
G/L with it
ill race you when you get it done! :] and i wanna see some pictures. i think its cool someone is thinking outside of the box.
thats fine i love to race for shits and giggles
Build it, Love it, Race it.

well damm, i remember seeing a integra with a RWD H22 also.. but CRX w/h22 & H2B also.. thats gonna be monster! and it would surprise alot of folks, to put the hood up and everyone would expect to see a motor, but it'll prolly only show spare tires, tool box and all.. hahaa sweet! i wanna see this RHINO
/Oo ___A___ oO\|=_/_______\_=|
you're welcome.
theres no fucking way it will weigh 750lbs when finished. theres no way it weighs 400 right now unless you had ALL the bodywork off and the entire floorpan cut out., along with having the motor dropped and ALL the suspension out. they weigh a little over 2000 stock. it will probably end up being close to 1700 when done.
how built is this motor gonna be? its gonna need around 450-500hp to get the wheels up, and some BIG drag slicks.
im not tryin to shoot down your dreams and i definitely think its gonna be a cool car if its done right, but some of the info you posted is impossible. this car will end up being better suited for road courses/autocross/gymkhana. in fact, there was a CRX with a mr2 engine in the back that was built by Backyard Special, and it was a BADASS 'khana car.

the floor pans are out from front to back there is no motor dash or body panel and it takes me and my bro inlaw to pick up the car one in front one in back Rolling chassis
and if you dont believe it im sorry and i will make sure i show a pic of us doing that
tube chassis alum. floor pans lexan windows fiberglass doors frontend and hatch i can see 750 OR A LITTLE MORE
cause alot will not be there when im done
It IS still a rolling chassis but it does have alot cut already
And i can not figure out how to post pics HELP please

Someone doesn't know what they're talking about....... Hayabusa racing motor cycles weight 450 pounds. You really expect anything remotely car shaped to get to 750? Hell the wheels and tires can be anywhere from 60 to 180pounds depnding on what you're running.
I have to ask, how old are you?
Lastly, posting pics is NOT that hard, I don't know why so many people can't figure it out. Here is a guide.

^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
look im 23 since when does age have anything to do with cars and i have been working on honda/fords for about 6 years
and what part can you not read OR A LITTLE MORE
not sayin exactly that much just sayin some where in the ball park due to the use of alot of alum. parts on the car and in the motor removing steel parts replacing with alum. etc. and so on so think about it there isnt going to be much there but if you like it better 750 to (1000)lbs <-a little more

Your claims just sound like mine did when I was 14. I'mthinkin if you're lucky, you can get it to 1200 but it'll probably end up being 1,400 will full aluminum, magnesium, fiberglass, and carbon fiber components.

LMFAO AT YOUR WEIGHT ESTIMATE I thought you might be cool at first.
EDIT: Is it just a tube chassis weighing 400lbs right now? I can believe that.
