out of no where i stumbled upon a good deal on a 84 crx gutted and ready to race. its got a one piece front end, no core support, headlights or operable tailights; interior is stripped w/ plastic seat, door panels and dash. rear windows are plexiglass at the moment. im buying it without the current motor (d16a1 dohc teg motor w/individual carbs) and have plans of putting in a obd1 sohc turbo. im told (and would assume) this car weights pretty much nothing, and with a stock d16a1 and a 55 shot of nitrous it ran high 12s with some small slicks (but whatever )
obviously this is setup (or meant to one day be) for drag racing, which is something i enjoy. however, being in its current state (no core support, lights, etc), would it be possible to use this as a auto-x car instead? if so, what would need to be changed, or what would need to be done with minimal work bc i dont want to completely re-do the car. i dont know any auto-x rules or classes so maybe you guys can help me out. if its not much of a feasable option, i will just stick to drag racing.
currently its obd0, but being re-wired for obd1. this is the first "older" honda ive owned, so my knowledge on mpfi, cable tranny, etc stuff is very minimal. motor of choice will pry end up being a z6, so what would i need to get that in, running, and what transmission since a z6 trans is hydro.
heres a few crap pictures of what i will be working with. the guy will be on vacation tomorrow for a while, so that gives me some time to get my other 4dr gsr out of my garage and into the junkyard just in time for me to pick this bad boy up next friday. it will be going under some major TLC and a new CHEAP paint scheme. my goal is to make this an effective LOW BUDGET race car
stay tuned in as i will update this thread during my (likely slow) progress >`
oh, and for any of you that missed my few updates of my recently bought 4dr GSR....from stock, to this:
