RWD CRX
I personally really like the look of the CRX, and it's lightweight and nifty... low-slung, all that good stuff.
I've always thought "Man, if that was just RWD, that'd be a nice rig." Well, unsurprisingly, it's been done. In my searches, I came across one particularly nice project. Wanted to share it with you all. http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2490458 ![]() ![]() (Anyone who's interested, anyway... and anyone who doesn't like it... well, that's your own business. Keep your badge-driven hate out of my thread.)

I find myself looking at photos of the older CRX's quite often actually. They are nice little cars, just as you said. Lightweight, nifty (Hatch space) but I agree, I think it'd be a bit funner RWD. Nice find!
I also like the one year model that the Si came in a hatchback config.. I'll find a picture.. I really like those too. EDIT :: Couldn't find any really nice pictures, but the 2005 Honda Civic Si Hatchback is the one Im referring to. Blue in colour is my fav. |

I would have thought that they'd have converted it to MR rather than FR. Nice still.

Not sure I see the point of the civaru.
Why not just drive the subaru? Anyway, yeah there've been a few MR CRXs, but I genuinely like this FR CRX. The welds are done very well, too. |
