usually stock Honda's are slow, but a well build CRX with a Turbo K24 (i think i hear a turbo not sure), a freaking honda accord/odyssey/CRV engine, is not. You gain performance just with the chassis weight difference alone.
And less length that has to be set to hit another gear ratio, it's shorter on the thrower for quicker shifts and the handle is the way it is to respond to the quicker shifts lol
not gearbox but aftermarket computer setting will rev-match on a downshift. its getting more common in factory cars these days so no need for aftermarket ecu.
ok so somebody explain to me, it sounds as car is rev matching itself when downshifting because I see no heel n toe or is it something else? The shifter aint sequential or am I missing something? or is it a really hard clutch so it just catches immeadetly?
its a dog tooth gearbox, and hes not revmatchng, so its just the engine is always trying to match the gearbox revs, but because the flywheel is so light it does not seem that bad
My 88 crx hf weighed 1600 with just back stripped he doesn't have dash door panels center console even carpet gone not to mention tons of factory crap you dont need anymore so id say he is in the 1400 range with k24 300+hp its insanely fast mine was fast just with a stock b16a swap
@@SavageD1984 wonder if this is an hf, people underestimate power to weight ratio. i guess i was taking into account his own body weight lolz. its crazy though what ive seen racers do to their hondas. drill the body into swiss cheeze in some parts just to save a couple more lbs.
@@atranimecs that is all true and yea definitely in the 1600 to 1800 range with body weight . once you own or drive a crx you understand weight to power ratio is amazing and thats with a stock motor when you start to increase power by mods, turbocharged, or motor swaps you really see how in comes into play crxs are so fun. Great platform for a track car or drag ....cheap to build compared to alot of other cars.. As far as hf thing you cant really tell from the vid only one angle and interior is completely gutted but it really dont matter what trim it is when you strip in completely and swap out the motor they will all weigh the same basically i know the lighest one from factory is the 88 HF the 88-89 was lighter than the 90-91s not sure what made the difference but yea some people will do crazy things to shed pounds and if you do alot it can make a difference for sure .... I sure miss my Crx i will have to get another one someday i like the civic hatchbacks too and the coupes 92-95 are great and the 96-00 are nice as well 👍👍👍
