meh, I'd rather get an old GC8 impreza and swap in 99-01 RS body and wrx/sti drivetrain, thats sleeper enough for me and a lot cooler!

last year i was looking for a cheap car and i found one of these it was red and i didnt know what it was so i asked the dealership how much they wanted for it and they said $3500 and i was shocked and said no thank you so i went home and researched it and was amazed so i went back to the dealership about a week later to see if i could get it and it was gone those ugly ass cars are very fast

what do you guys think about the chrysler crossfire do you think that would come close to a modern crx

i dont much care for the styling

[hawk86]

ya but its a two seater hatch manual tranny with a V6 kinda comes close to a rex

I would go with a first gen miata also. I had a white 95 which I believe is the best year ever made.
From my experience, the miata is a blast to drive because of the way it can rail turns( ran from a cop on a curvy mountain road). But those days are over........ In my honest opinion a miata with some good springs, shocks, sways will take a rex thru the turns anyday.

But why would u want to ditch a 1st gener rex, they are great cars and one of the only cars that I myself would compare to the miata R.I.P.

miata is a pretty bad little 2 seater IMO. anything that weighs that little(little more than a 2g right?) and have SBC/SBF swap kits readily available for cheap, IS MY FRIEND- I WANNA SWAPPED MIATA!

I like this idea. Cheaper than the Monster Miata V8 swap.


Turbo Miata

[zakats]

how is that cheaper?!
Miata- $1-6000
kit - $300(ish dont remember cost)
good sbc&t5 - $1000
odds and ends - $500-1000

~$2800 to $8300

+$2000 of fun goodies purchased over time since practicly it could be a DD/project car... thats my understanding,

Little off topic but I just checked out the Acura RDX while out cruising and I must say it is very nicely styled once you get up close in person, subtle curves in the right spots and the reflectors in the rear bumper is a nice touch. However I was dissapointed when I saw that this little turbo 4 banger was getting under 30 mpg on the highway, 23mpg the same as the MDX which is bigger heavier and has a v6 with a bit more power as we all know.
