The Quad4 CRX is up for sale again. This is the car that originally competed in the Challenge in 2005, went through a few owners, then my father and I got it back into shape and ran it in the $2007 Challenge. Immediately after getting it home, I started tearing into it to build the ultimate Modified-class rallycrosser. Made several changes to enhance the car's durability and serviceablity. Unfortunately, when I went to change the oil on it in the early spring, I found out we must have blown the head gasket at the challenge. Since I had other projects being stalled by this, I stuck it under the deck, and ignored it until now. At this point, I'd rather be rid of it, and the spare parts that are cluttering up the garage, so I can work on my 28 Chevy more easily. It can be converted back to autocrsoss trim pretty easily, or someone can finish what I started and build one heck of an M2 rallycrosser. This is definitely not a car for the street - it is loud and rough riding. Price is $800 Firm.
Please note: No longer has the graphics, the spolier, or the wheels in the pic - I may be able to get the wheels for you, sans tires, but I'm not sure.

The good: -87 Honda CRX HF -GM quad4/TH125 drivetrain mounted solid to the car, custom header and full leangth exhaust -Integra rear axle and disc brakes -Cut down integra rear springs -6 point bolt in roll cage -Mugen front torsion bars -3 gallon aluminum fuel cell in the hatch area, plumbed -new Monroe shocks/struts -Jegs battery box in the passenger seat area -racing seat -G-FOrce racing harness that is dated October 2007, so still in date. -Has a title
The Bad -Blown head gasket, possibly with a warped head. -Battery may be dead after sitting - I should be able to charge it enough to start it, but I wouldn't bet on it lasting.
The Ugly: -Desperately needs a bath, been under my deck since spring, only had a cover for a couple of months. -Front bumper is off the car. -Did a very quick paint job on the hood to cover up the pacman graphic. -the header panel has a good-sized crack in it. Currently taped up, but could really use some fiberglass work. -The e-brake handle/console area is pretty ugly, and taped up. In order to mount the handle, I had to hack up the console that had originally been made for the auto shifter. To make it look nice, you'd probably want to relocate the shifter forward a bit, and build a new cover for it.
The spares: -Spare front fenders -Tokico adjustable shocks/struts - took them off since I was worried they'd get trashed rallycrossing. -Eibach rear springs -4 used Falken rally tires 2 mounted on five lug rims (front) and two on four lug rims (rear). -Two unmounted used Michelin rally tires. -probably can dig up a few spare used GM front wheel bearing assemblies from my old Corsica, that I think will also fit this.
If you want to go the rallycross route, you'd probably want to at least reindex the torsion bars to raise the ride height a bit in front, and finish building a bulkhead around the fuel cell (will be required in the 09 season, already required for an SCCA autocross car).
If you have any questions, let me know. I'm east of Cincinnati, OH, just a little outside the I-275 loop. I may also be selling my dad's tow dolly for him, but need to check with him before I am certain. I would prefer to sell the car and its spares all together, but if you desperately want something, let me know. $800 Firm, or may trade for an older sub-500cc motorcycle in good running condition with a clear title.
Its a relatively wide one (the CRX just barely fits), so it can handle a lot of different cars.
