MP5 vs. CRX

h22 + crx = fast

h22 are dope.........but toooooo heavy.
i say swap it with a ls-vtec motor........fairly cheep to build and push some good #'s if built right!:D
 
more weight in the front will in the end, help with traction, unless running some slicks then i guess it wouldn't matter much.
 
im callin bulls*** on this thread..
its not 6grand to make a p5 fast.
with 4 grand u can get a hiboost kit new clutch and the lil nick nacks that go with it and still have money to buy fuzzy dice and a squash airfreshener..

crx are so 1999.. b16 drop.. wooooopdi doo.. if u wanna make a scr go fast do a h22 swap or a nsx motor.. then ill be impressed...

i wish i could play "it aint a tight car if it aint a type r" in this thread. -=\
 
and there is no way in hell a crx looks better than a p5.. lets be real.. if it wasnt for all the exposure they get on the drag scene people would still call them shitboxes. -=\

Well, a couple of things; first why are you posting in all CAPS? Second; didn't you do any RESEARCH before you bought your P5? You were surprised that it had no power? WTF? Are you a moron or something? You could not check out the horse power and torque before you bought the car? Jesus!
Third; learn the f-ing English language! Your posts are one long run-on sentance!

Sorry about the rant guys, but I am getting sick and tired of posts like this from morons who did not research the car before they bought it.

edit.; it also looks to me that the original poster may not even HAVE a P5, I bet he is a CRX owner (I bet he posts at ClubSI) and is here to talk some s***.

I owned a crx for a couple of years, and they are fun little cars- but no comparison- the mazda quality is so much better- I definitely wouldn't want one again as my primary driver. Maybe as a side project though, just for the strip
 
oh, and at 1800lbs stock you can get a pretty sick power to weight ratio- as has been mentioned with the ls motor and a few mods its pretty easy to hit 180 hp
 
well when u ****** open the hood on the mp5 and see 2.0l dohc and u see hondas with 1.6l sohc ****** more hoserpower i didn't expect the mp5 to have 130hp at least i hope for 150 stock but nooooo the piece of s*** is slow and who gives a **** about handlin the car doesn't even move wuts the use of handling. this mp5 will be good for my dad nice and comfortable but im still young and i want a fast project car i anit a rich kid to but 4000 dollar turbos and 600 dollar axels just to make the car fast and even if i throw a turbo i still wont win good races s*** an rsx will s*** kill the mp5
 
Crx's are pieces of s*** I beat 2 where I live in I know the kids who own them. They might be light but w/o a whole bunch of mods or an engine swap they are much slower than a P5. If you wanted to go for speed you should've fucken bought an msp. and crx are'nt the fastest cars out there. Why don't you just get yourself an old ass mustang and stop bitchin about wanting to go fast and be prepared to blow all your money on speeding tickets.
 
races s*** an rsx will s*** kill the mp5

yea and a ferrari will beat a rsx, but its in a different price class

rsx and p5 are in 2 different price brackets, and a p5 w/ the extra money would be as fast as an rsx IF YOU KNOW what you are doing with cars
 
Where on my engine does it say 2.0L on it?

:confused: :rolleyes:

As a matter of fact, I don't think you can see displacements on Honda engines' valve covers either.
 
and the gsxr750 in my garage will beat all the bulls*** your talking about.. and that only cost 2 grand.. so if its all about cost versus speed.. take your crx back to the dealer and buy something with 2 wheels if u wanna go fast.. if u wanna floss and mob with more than one other person.. pimp out the p5 an get your ride on..
