I know this is a crx community,but this is civic related...
OK guys after falling in love with the EF9 I am seriously reconsidering my idea of my dart motor for my crx.
Let me start by giving all of you a background on my honda sickness..
I picked up my low mileage 90 y-49 crx back in 2000.Since then I have turbo'ed and mini-me'd the rex.
I purchased a dart block,and a b16a2 head with the intent on turboing it for the crx.
Now after doing a little research on the EF9(did i mention i am soo in love with the look of a EF9) I really am considering turning my 89 dx hatch into a high Compression EF9 monster.
Heres my choices:
1:Stay with my original plan-build the turbo dart motor and drop her in my crx.Transfer the current drivtrain to my EF.
2:Leave the turbo'ed mini-me in my crx and build a high comp NA dart setup for my EF.
I really like the look of the EF9's frt end and cant see cutting the frt bumper to fit an IC,but thats not the deciding factor.
I must say that this pic was a inspiration for my delimma...

well ollie i dont mind the hatchies but they just dont do it for me like the crx does. i would drop that beast in the rex if i were you.
heres some of my favorite crx's to sway you away from the dark side.

I say keep the CRX in its current state, keep that Y49 in as close to original condition as you can. Think of how rare it is to find that color of CRX in good shape.

Thats kind what has been going through my mind..
he has to be careful though. if he starts showing more love to the hatch the ol' Y-49 curse could flare up :lol:

LOL...that curse is starting to sound more like a disease when you describe it that way. "flare up". :lol:

Seriously, man...we all know you love your CRX. Do whatever you wanna do. You can always rip it out and swap it to the other car later if you want to.
Funny thing is I love em both now...
Man! my wifes gonna kill me when she starts seeing the car parts bills piling up... :shock: :lol:
My latest idea: 12:1 NA weisco pistons,maybe even a TODA setup..I'm still thinking ths out...
