CRX of Death!!
 
This car is for sale on some other forum and its making it way around the internet.

There are so many advantages having the hot turbo outside the engine bay. LOL!!

As silly as it looks you have to hand it to a 17 yo with a low paying job.

The Photochop pics are hystericle. The guy selling is being a good sport over the whole thing as well.

RickM- I agree, the car is quick for what it is. Although those 1/8 mile times are with a 75 shot of N2O and w/o turbo if I understand correctly.

How that car got pass tech at the track is beyond me and I am not talking about the turbo either. In some of the other pics I saw the battery behind the seat no kill switch no sealed box etc...

I got booted with my RX-7 for not having a kill switch while I watched F-350's run down the track in the low 11's without roll cages or driveshaft loops. Go figure.

Agreed. I wish I had the balls and creativity to try something like that when I was 17. Here's a kid who looked at a problem with no preconceptions and--with no money and few tools--made the best of it.

In a few years when he's working on his mechanical engineering degree, he'll be kicking ass in Formula SAE.

When he says he's going to run low sevens thats in the 1/8th mile right. Haha, that car is certaintly impressive, but will get many undeserved laughs im sure.

RallyJon 05-26-2005 09:02 PM

I've seen a supposed "estimated conversion factor" of 1.58 for 1/8th mile to 1/4 mile times. So he'd do the 1/4 in the 11s? Yeah, I told a few lies when I was 17, too. :D
