found som old movies of my CRX

[NoHachi]

Like-em or not, honda makes some pretty good cars. If drifting is the only thing you like to do (which seems to be the popular craze these days) then they are pretty useless, but for everything else...
My little old civic was easier to drive fast than the mx5. The MX5 still seems to be somewhat faster than Ivan's hachi, though its getting close. The civic i think was a bit faster still.
It delivered a sub 10 minute lap of the nordschleiffe on my first visit, on worn suspension and bushings. To do the same in the mx5 means going to the limit in each and every corner.

A friend of mine is building a gen1 CRX as his Ring-tool. B16 engine, B18C5 manifolds and B16B cams, Movit brakes etc. The car isn't finished just yet (lots of carbon to be done), but already there is little that I think could keep up with this little rocket. And all that for the cost of a rusty hachi, not too bad.

I'm a big fan of CRX's (except del sol), they are all a hoot to drive, certainly more entertaining and sideways then a std hachi. If you can ignore the image, give em a try once. You might be amazed that there are more companies able to deliver the same sort of spirit as toyota did with the ae86.
