9.200Rpm Honda CRX F20 || 280Hp NA Screamer S2000 Engine Swap

Ruedi Fuhrer races on the Swiss HillClimb Championship a true Japanese Legend in a very interesting state of tune. A second gen Honda CRX powered by a F20 engine (from the Honda S2000) with around 280Hp all produced in Naturally Aspirated form at around 9.200Rpm with power distributed to the Front Wheels through a 6 -speed Sequential Gearbox. The 90´s Coupé has also seen its weight severely reduced, displaying now numbers in the proximity of 800Kg of dry weight. All this turning it into one of the fastest 2000cc Class machines all while sporting a very Mugen look, that we´re sure porper JDM fans will appreciate...

Fast,planted and amazingly sounding-nothing to dislike about this crazy fast CRX.Hondas are known to be crazy fast when properly built and this one is a fine example of that.And driver shows how to get the job done.Fantastic video.

[@porkypigbaconeggs]

Its not going fast enough to get any body roll...

[@416blackmamba]

@@porkypigbaconeggs body roll is due to weight shifting not because of speed. You can get body roll by suddenly turning at 20kph.

Im a life long mopar guy myself, mostly had a-body cars cause thats what i could afford and still have my 70 duster I got in high school (built slant six with cam, decked head, 4bbl carb and 3 into 1 headers and too many other parts to list). Stripped and caged a 86 crx to run at my local short track and its the most fun ive had behind the wheel. Definitely recommend looking into it, only cost me about $2500 for finished car, fire suit, helmet, gloves and shoes and I was on track.

[@necromax13]

@@andypowell4702 looking into a civic del sol for a track car isn't a bad idea either, but ideally, a prelude is the way to go. Beefier engines, a better body, and more space to work with. A prelude from the late nineties, to be more specific.
