Re: first CRX build
throw the 454 in it
 It really depends on witch way you want to go, turbo, NA (nat. aspired). For 10 grand you could do just about anything you wanted.

depends on how much money you want to invest in suspension alone. You can spend anywhere from 500-600 bucks on lowering springs and shocks all the way to 1200+ for a good coilover setup.

Re: first CRX build
just get some nice stiff eibachs. My friend just lowered his car like 2" with eibachs and his car is so stiff you cant rock it at all really. Thats the type you want for drag.

Re: first CRX build
damn if ur dropping 10 grand into a car i dont know i even want to know what the terms of the bet were, id drop a b16a1 motor, then go turbo with what u got left, if u still got money which u should, beef up ur internals. In Import Racer! magazine they built a b16 to 522hp! drop that in a crx, combined with some suspension stuff and u would have a force to be reconed with, but they estimated the engine costing 8 grand alone. Its all ur call on what u wanna do but its key to find a balance between all your mods
