Crxs have no weight it the back man, it's not THAT much heavier, but it's a difference when you're talking about an H22.

If someone GOOD is building it then go CrVtec, if not get a stock ITR, those are my suggestions.

I'd just get a GSR and turbo it, that's about the equivalent of the money you're talking about spending.

I was thinking about the itr but for the money I could have more power going with something else I could get a b18b1 and put exhaust intake and nitrous on it and have more power than the itr and spend a hell of alot less money I want something I can build and have a fast ass crx

Could you tell me why it matters that they have no weight in the back.

1st thing you have to think about is what kind of e/ts do you want to put down. Then figure out how much power your going to need to meet that goal. Once that is figured out you pick an application.

I have said this 1000s of times to people, no one listens on TR
