I have been working on this project since (2004). In this time i have done: Found the chassis:1985 Honda CRX HF Reason: 1. i like the look 2. 2 door 3. at least 20 years old (because of the metal that was used) 4. 1713lbs. soaking wet [http://www.crxsi.com/specs.htm](http://www.crxsi.com/specs.htm) 5. wheel base under 100 inches 6. and some misc. stuff I found the chassis in w.falls, ny. It had 135,XXX on the clock. Has some rust but nothing I was will not drive _+_ 100 miles to find another one. After i had it home, everything was removed. Then put on the scales, 1000 lbs. was the total wieght. Then with a couple of jack stands and a floor jack i found the C.G. and began to make the roll cage. 30+ feet of DOM 095 x 1.5 inch and 15 feet of 095 1 inch. That made me 12 points from the fire wall back. Then i built the roundy round car. In between I have been going thru different drive trains. I thought I was going to use a turbo crv v-tec with a crv drive train. Then I ran into some problems, i.e lsd, axles, springs, shocks. Then I thought of scooby, and found out that the do not like water crossings. (see the WRC) and i did not want that wieght in front of the axles. Then the one that i am going to use DSM. I found the proper year suspension sub frame (front and rear)(with the help of DSM Gary). Reason for DSM: 1. alot of parts for them (from mild to wild) So the SPEC list/ goal: 85 inch wheel base 72 inch _+_ track width 2100 less lbs 375-500 whp and some tq \*currently i am working on mounting the sub frames to the chassis. ---

dont worry i am a pic whore also. Motor: I have not came up with the build sheet yet. The only thing that i have bought for the motor is the block off plate for the water pump. I am thinking it will be a stroker motor breed. 2.3 or 2.4. The car will be able to pull of some nice trix. I am building it to square spec.'s 50/50 weight, 50/50 power transfer, almost the track width and wheel base 50/50. I would like that when i jump it to “right” it’s self in the air. ---

Some other things: Anti lag Rotational idle Meth and water injection Coolers: engine, trans, fuel, diff dsm 4g63, or the sonata motor. turbo stroker motor. ---

2.4L 6bolt G4CS is probably the best way to go. GT35R, FP3065 or similar turbo will be perfect for that setup and your goals, Daniel J. I think diff coolers are a bit excessive but touche’. You might also want to think about a dry sump oiler as well. If you want any/all of my head parts, I will save them for you, big cams, ss valves (stock size), dual springs, ti retainers; good for a 10k valvetrain. ---
