Wow, this baby gets around. He he he. I have to say, it's the most accurate exhaust reproduction I've heard yet.

That's was the funniest race I've ever seen. That honda exhuast was duplicated perfectly. The nice high pitched squiel. I'm definately not a honda lover and that just made my day. Dub for life!!!:flipa: <--honda

Why no love for Honda? Scared of a little economy car? :)

Naw man. No love. The only love for a honda was when I got head in the back of a prelude bro. :eek: lol.... Hondas are way to popular. I'm a dubber man. VW's are economy cars anyway. And they are much faster than Hondas. But I'm not attacking you as a person man. I don't know you. You could be a cool person I just don't like hondas. Dub for life!!

Actually I am lookin for a Corrado SLC myself... as more of a refined car, and the CRX as my beast....

Much faster though? Not really..... either way, I love VWs, and to be honest, I HATE every honda after 97 or so..... bitch cars. That INCLUDES the new prelude....

Hybrid hatches are the way to go......:devil:

The prelude was a 90 maybe you'll like it too. lol I just not a honda fan because there is way to many people that live near me that rice there cars out with an exhaust and an intake. That doesn't really help much. trust me. My 93 blazer smokes hondas that are loud with exhuast. I don't have the top end but I have the torque in that car. That's cool that you like Vw's they're phatty.

Yeah ricers piss me off too! :mad:


I usually just give 'em the finger...if they "attempt" to keep up, I just waste them.

BUT, it's not JUST Honda guys... I've gotten QUITE a few hard as looks from some Veedub heads..... lets just say they weren't so cocky at the next 2 or 3 lights ;) (except that damn A2 with the VR6 in it and a 60shot... hahah he killed me pretty bad :))

Hell, I wish there was a way to get some torque in my shitbox, but I guess I'll just have to live with top end power for now. Sure, you VW guys can tow mobil homes and shit with all that torque ;)

But lets see you rev to 9k and not float a valve :eek:

heh heh.... either way, I'm down with VeeDubs, as long as they're not dicks to me. :flash:

Your ride is nice....for a CRX. i don't know about the clear corners especialy on that black. Nice rims though. I'll have a pic of my A2 jetta on here in a few days. I don't have a digital Cam. Your cool for a honda guy...j/k buy a dub bro. You'll love your corrado trust me they hall.

Yeah the corners look OK... the camera flash makes em look kinda gay, but oh well.

As for the Corrado, I want a '93-94 SLC (VR6) but they are kinda rare. Basically it'd be my daily driver. Handles well, lots of torque, quiet on the highway :)

But in a straight line, the CRX would eat it for breakfast.

14.4 @ 98mph...all motor on 16" rims...not bad for only a lowly 1.6L...

As for Hybrid VWs, yeah I know a few guys with A2 VR6's.... the guy that roasted me runs LOW 13s... the car is such a sleeper I love it.

I'm not sure whether to get a Corrado however, or the 2002 GTi VR6. Depends on how much $$$ I have left from turnin the CRX into a Z06 killer....;)

Hey bro I'd get the corrado. They are way lighter than a Gti. Hey about that jetta that beat you was it an A3. A2's don't have VR6 in them. They have 1.8's and 16 valve's. I know this because I have one.

Phatwhippin_CRX
12-13-2001, 11:18 PM
lol... it was an A2.. he just swapped a VR6 into it :)


I was like, SHIT I'm not the only one with a swap eh? And he's like.. and I got spray too ;)

VW_Redliner

ok... an A2 body is lighter than an A3. A VR6 alone would probably tie or beat you. And he had a 60 shot right? That's hella. did you talk to him after he beat you. What did you guys talk about?:smoker2:

Yeah I knew who he was... damn thing was mad fast, he was cool as shit.

As for a regular VR6 hangin'.... heh...you underestimate the rex... trust me, a stock VW isn't gonna hang :) Then again, my car isn't exactly stock, but it's still only a 1.6L ;)

What kinda of engine did you put in the CRX? It's still 3 cylinder right? My jetta is a 1.8L 8v. It's got a lot of torque and top end. At top end I've heard it goes about 130. That's from a previous owner though so who knows.

JDM (jap-spec, right off the boat) B16a (comes in the JDM CRX SiR)

1.6L, Inline 4 cylinder, 16V, DOHC VTEC (variable valve timng, basically.. same as Toyota VVTl-i)

160hp
111ft/lbs

8200 redline

Thats in stock form... Honda motors dont gain much from I/H/E (all I have is I/H as of now..) so I am probably pushing 170hp.... all in a 2200lb car.

Top speed is 115, because of my JDM ECUs speed limiter....but the gearing is so short, I'd redline 5th @ 128mph or so....

Lets put it this way, 4800rpms in 5th gear is 80mph

Good for acceleration, but bad on the highway. But its OK because i was built to hadnle it so.....

That's pretty cool how much did that little engine cost? Was is about 1500? Now that I know it's worth it to swap Vr6's I think I'll look into it. I have an A2. I get to learn how to drive tomarrow. I can't drive a clutch yet. I've never tried before. It'll be easy I'm sure except my dad is teaching me and he's an ass. Well bro It's like 1:30 or 2 am here so I'm gonna hit the sack! get on dubbin!!!

redliner, you can't just stick a VR6 into an A2. youd have to replace practically the entire suspension to make up for the added weight. did your dad buy you the GTI? i remember when i got my first A2 from my dad i was so pissed, little did i know the potential. youll love it. good luck learning how to drive a stick.

i just realized you had a jetta. my bad. i have an A2 GTI. kind of different but the suspension swap still stands, not to mention wheels and brakes.
