Remember buying this DVD when it came out like 15 years ago? The CRX feature was hilarious and the High Octane guys sunk all of their money into these DVD's. I don't believe they made much profit either. Considering that it was made in NZ, limited budget etc, they did great. The CRX was awesome FWIW.
You are all forgetting it has stock suspension. They stick in decent aftermarket suspension the times would be up there. Know a few things before talking crap.
If those dyno numbers were right - The CRX --SHOULD-- have been running 12's. Probably need a traction bar. Stock B16A swap runs low 14's with good hook up. Stock B18C (ITR) swap can just break into the 12's - again when you're putting the power to the ground. (Of course this is at sea level - Not at altitude)
Okay so this may be a little late and stupid but i can't find any 0-100 times for a CRX Del sol b16a2.. This crx runs 6.7 - 100. So what does a del sol run? 6.5? Why does every test say 8.2? :/
no one ever has anything good to say lmao. theres no replacement for displacement so when your on here mad that an import beat a precious v8 domestic saying it needed a turbo.. uhh duh, and? lol No one told that man he HAD to race. so much hate.
That Falcon is Australian dude. And it's just not a fair race. Fully built internals with a turbo VS a bone stock V8. I'm not saying I agree with people who say "there's no replacement for displacement", but this is just pain unfair.
The old V8 crew, with that no replacement for displacement can stick it. Obviously there is, there is more than one way to make horsepower. it's called technology
linzitazim yea I'm a little confused because a guy with a 140kw civic ek runs 13.4 on normal tires and also a mate of mine who has a S15 that has 214kw ran a 13.3 on a slipping clutch and normal tires
GTR R34 is a little over rated, when you mod them up they are fast but they are also quite heavy. I've seen a stock S15 and CRX beat a stock GTR R34 on a track, mind you the track that the CRX beat the GTR on was quite twisty with only a few straights. GTR R34 too heavy too slow
Nowadays for about 4k you can get a stock LS1 camaro and run a 13.5 ish. Throw a cam in in for another 1k and run an 11.5. For $11000 you could probably get into the 9s. All the LS1 needs is a ford rear end, slicks, fuel pump + nitrous, etc. That bottom end handles 1000hp stock. But that being said, when this video was made these things simply weren't an option. Back in the day you couldn't just buy dirt cheap ebay turbo kits or cheap 90s sports cars. This was a great build for the early 2000s. They're also not in the USA so they don't have millions of 5.7l V8s lying around for free.

You really don't see CRX's around these days.
was ketzal, we spent ages sussing it
Lol that 600hp Skyline must be broken... He should be well into the low 11s with that power.
Hahahahaha! Right?!
turboing a engine over 100k miles is like slaping a 80 year old dude in the face with a sludge hammer.... lol
Did you forget the part, where they said they took it to the machine shop?
And it is now 1800 CC's?
You are all forgetting it has stock suspension. They stick in decent aftermarket suspension the times would be up there. Know a few things before talking crap.

If only we could predict what would happen to the value of these cars and so many others back then lol
@NosDemonic I see them all the time at school.
Okay so this may be a little late and stupid but i can't find any 0-100 times for a CRX Del sol b16a2..
This crx runs 6.7 - 100.
So what does a del sol run? 6.5? Why does every test say 8.2? :/
Anyone know the background music on last scene
what clutch did you use, also does it have lsd? doesnt seem like it should be 12...
Bonsai

I'm sure some of this video is just drag strip comedy.
@@dlc85007they've got stock suspension in it mate etc.
Never mess with GT-R !

Idk about that 600hp skyline loosing cause the freaking 450hp one won? thats make no sense. Someone was sand bagging!!!
InATrance4Life probably all wheel drive
What this!?
hell yeahhh-------´!!!!!
AWD
except for CrZ
11,000 bucks for a 13.4 1/4 mile? Trash. That dynometer needs to be calibrated or something, that CRX is slow.
greebuh name a faster 11k car?
greebuh ran 11s on slicks

And o for 11 grand id make my CRX a 10 second all motor beast!!! So bang for your buck and only running 13.4 1/4 miles that pretty lame!!!
Poor nissan skyline gtr😂
$18,000 us Dollar for a 12.00 second car too much money
He said around $11,000 US dollars, listen in you NOOB!
It look like you drive a 17 second car for $25,000 USD now tho.... oof.
turbo car vs stock v8 smh
