Greetings all. Jason; 1st post.

I hope I have the right forum area, but if not, please move me. Anyhow, here goes.

Looking to pick up a Honda as a project car and since it will be done over some time money isn't really an issue at this point. Can any of you tell me the pros and cons of a Civic over a CRX and vice versa? I'm leaning toward a CRX, a '91 to be exact, but any comments can help. Here's what I'm looking to do overall. Looking to do a drifting car, so looking for high acceleration over top speed. Also, of course, looking for very quick handling.

The cons that are holding me back from a CRX is the looser chassis over a Civic... Oh, and to be honest, at this point I do not know if either are RWD or FWD... Forgive me.

I would recomend a Nissan 240 sx with a sr20 swap if you want a drifting car. Fwd cars don't drift buddy.

 

Oh, they do, but not like RWD. Most Japanese drivers learned to drift off of FWD cars and then switched to RWD.

*** draggin?

 

? I'm lost.

If I was you and picking one or the other I would go with a 92-95 civic cx hatchback. I don't know why you would want to drift in one tho.

 

Id get a Civic no older than 92. Anything older than that would be OBD0 and a pain in the ***. Cutt had a good idea. EG hatches are rare and amazing.

 

never heard anyone say that before. I personally dont find a sohc 1.5L civic amazing

 

EF Civics and CRXs use the same chassis... and they're pretty damn tight from the factory, especially since they ride so low.

And no, as a rule of technicality, FWD cars can't drift. It's physically impossible.

 

1.5 is what comes in the hatch. It's up to you what motor goes in it today. H22 and K20 hatch's my friend are amazing.
