Crx VS. Lancer OZ

[KinkBykr]

have the lancer, but willing to buy and fix an older Crx. Tell me your thoughts, I just want a fast, good performance car, I wont put money into and relize I could have done something else for less money

[quiXilver]

Just buy a CRX. Start there.

well , if im not mistaken. the Lancer OZ rally editions are very slow and they are front wheel drive. When you get into a crx you will feel the potential for speed and the nimble steering and handling. there is very little you can do to the lancer. There is alot you can do to a Crx, sell the lancer and make a badass street .

well, once having the CRX would engine swap or anthying be a good idea before putting in money, and if so, what would be an expected price to pay, I know specific price is hard to say, but what would you guess

don't get a crx...get a hatchback

Hatchback > CRX

pay a good $1500-2500 for the car

Then another $1500 for a B16 with 160hp
---------or----------
Another $3500 (give or take) for a B18C with 200hp
(prices if u installed urself)

Compared to ur lancer... that 160hp would feel like 250hp (probably) in ur lancer....and the 200 would prolly feel like 300... when comparing the two...think Power/weight ratio more than power and tourqe...

So lets see, considering car cost and engine it will cost anywhere from $3000-6000 for a car much faster than yours.....plus its just cooler!

[BLU CIVIC]

or $2000 for the car

$750 for B20
$400 for B18c1 head
$500 for misc
and that's $1650 for more power and torque than a B16 or a B18c1....

good thing about civics is that the possibilities and combinations are almost endless

[animal66]

personally....i get a little skittish about mixing different Model engine components.... i kno the can make more power and tourqe using LS/VTEC or CR/VTEC....but still... id rather not.... too much mixed talk about it.

no direct answer b/c price varies depending on who u get ur stuff from and what u decide to get

[Hybrid1990crx]

my friend has a turboed lancer OZ and he says it runs with STI's.

[90civicracer]

Used SRT-4 with warranty on it still....high 13/low 14 second car (depending on driver) stock.

Theres LOTS you can do to your lancer OZ. They have turbokits for them. You can rebuild your engine and all that goodies. Just do a search. I'm too lazy to look

[mellowboy]

Turbo kits for your Lancer ...
