300whp in a car this light should yield mid 11's.

i'm not going to speculate...but it should be pretty quick if we can get this turbo to spool in time.

I'm sorry, but once I was browsing through an SCC to find an article of an H22 in a CRX with nitrous still get only 209wHP, not to mention 186 foot lbs, I couldnt help but roll my eyes and turn the page. Before the K24, I thought the H22 was the ultimate end-all Honda engine...but after this, you wonder if it was really worth it.

Chet, I love the hell out of your Colt 4G63, but seriously man...why a once cam pissant 4 banger?

I'm not trying to say my car(s) are the end all be all platform, but I personally just dont see the point....can it be fast? Fuck yes, I'd be surprised if you DIDNT hand me my ass when its done, but its just that there are other ways to go fast in something like that...

For instance, the Chevy Sprint. About as light, 1 cyl less and 1 turbo more. If you put the same amount into both CRX (whatever Honda engine it may be powered by) and the Sprint, I can guarentee you the Sprint will put out much more.

The reason I went for this platform is because of how easy and cheap it is to make power...for instance, my red car is only $700 away or so from getting another 100 HP. My silver car is just $1500 away from doubling it's power. In the end, I still have a comfortable car that will out-luxury anything on the interstate at any speed, get quite decent gas mileage, and be able to survive a crash from anything less than a dually pickup without a scratch.

However you obviously arent doing this to make easy power, you're doing it because you can and it'll rape anything it comes across while still getting 30+ mpgs easily. Props to you so far and beyond.

Soft jello suspension...both my cars out-ride the ReXus. Little/no wind noise at 80mph+, targa off is not as loud surprisingly as I thought it'd be, stereotypical land barge fun, incredibly comfortable seats....its all there. Stock exhaust on the silver car = "You sure its still running?" Especially at idle
