Gridlife’s time attack and road racing series has seriously brought out some of the very best and most interesting builds across America. Much like this full tube chassis old school CRX, built for wheel to wheel racing. While a 170hp Honda might not seem like the world’s most interesting car on the outset, this thing hits all the right buttons: vintage race tech, tons of durability, and a few modern tricks to make it a really fun track ripper.

I remember in the early 90’s hearing stories and seeing write ups in magazines of dudes out in California running 10 second in the street in CRX’s and EG hatchbacks with turbo B series Frankensteins in them (B series head on a Prelude block). This was the pre-Fast and the Furious JDM scene before “ricer” was even a term, and also the same time that I began to expand my young understanding of what a “race car” could be. Put those days straight in my veins!

This guy is the real deal he has to keep it going and not break the transmission by doing what other people do just to try to gain a 1/8 of a second. Destroying the Transmission in the process. He said it best do they pay for the transmission? No end of questioning. Yup you do what you do what works so that your fast but still bring the car in for further future fun runs.
