Are you having some sort of life crisis? first you dump a fox a T bird yet, and now your checking honda's out. You may need to talk to a shrink.lol

Nope, no crisis. Didn't say I was gonna buy one, I just said I liked the looks of it :hick: Although now that I think of it, I guess $100/week in gas to commute back and forth to work is a bit of a crisis...

it's only a crisis when you're worried about gas mileage rather than power :hick:

Im by no means a honda guy but I have to stick up for the (stock) CRX. Theyre awesome at what they were made for.

Lets see you get 50-60 MPG out of a fox bird or cougar.

How about my festiva? Its loud and obnoxious. Would you ever suspect it of being a low-13 second car, or would you just call it a rice burner? Hmm, it will wipe the floor with my turbo coupe any day. In fact the only thing the tbird does better is be comfortable. Hell even my gf's stock automatic festiva will wipe the floor with a v6 bird/coug.

Dont hate the small car just cause you have a big car.

crx's don't get that kind of gas mileage.. unless you're talking about the new 1

as for a festiva, that would be the ultimate sleeper project for an SC or smallblock swap :D

 My car has nothing to do with hating the small car , I hate them for reasons all their own . :rollin:

But the CRX and Festiva were never  marketed to my demographic ,so while  I'm sure  they are great for what they were made for , what they were made for is not something I have ever wanted . I imagine that is why not everyone drives the same thing :D

 And for the record I don't consider my Bird a "big "car :D

They dont?

Several people there beg to differ with you. I used to average 47-48 mpg in my festiva so a car with far superior aerodynamics should be able to do better. The Civic VX is also another 50+ mpg honda. Not to mention the original Insight, 70+ mpg is common with that car.

Ill also pass on ruining my car with a V8. With the higher compression block, slightly bigger turbo, and a better intercooler setup along with traction I should see 12's out of it. Oh yeah it still manages 40 mpg.

Go for it. Were you thinking front engine rear drive? Theres a rear engine front drive one on youtube thats apparently a reverse donut machine. Of course most people that do big engine swaps into them do mid-rear.

Not so much a Festy thing, but over on the Escort forum, there's a few 1st-gen owners that have swapped in 2.3t engines into their cars. front engine/front drive.

Since I have an '87 EGT, I've always wanted to do that, instead of the much more common v6 swap.

I'd definitely keep your Fest' in a 4 holer, turbo setup...the look on the faces of the owners of older Camaro (think the '80/90's) as you pull on 'em has gotta be a priceless sight, lol
