165HP stock, mid to low 15's stock in the 1/4 mile, the price is irresistable, and I would be able to take a good bit of n/a cars with a lil moddin'.

The only problem is that i've heard these cars have tranny issues. So that's my main issue with it. Let me know what you guys think.

you could always put a klze in too. I personally think the mx6s look a lot better and its the same car basically.

i don't like the Probe. but thats me, if you like it then cool.

I liked the Probe over the MX-6, but not only that, i've found a Probe for $2500. I can sell my Prelude for that and break even. But if I can find a MX-6 for a really good price, then i'll defintely consider it too. But i've finally narrowed it down to the Probe/MX-6. I'm tired of trying to make a fast car outta a mid 16's car, so the Prelude has to go. So no more Hondas, no more low power 4 bangers, and no more auto trannies.

...And i'm a sucker for retractable head lights :)

thats cool. good luck with the car hunt then and also the project. :)

i like the retractables on my car but i'm going to go with the east bear headlight conversion eventually.

i have a friend with a probe and he said they r straight but he has done a lot to it for performance and hp and all that

I did the H4 Conversion on my Prelude with a pair of 5000k bulbs, and it looks damn good at night.

But back to the Probe/MX-6 thingie, another reason why I wanna get one is that with some software, i'll be able to plug in my Laptop and tune it being that it has a OBD-II computer, unlike my Prelude which is OBD-0, which pretty much requires me to go pay for dyno time for a good tuning, which can get costly. All in all, I think i'm making the right choice for my next car. I honestly can't think of any other car under 3k that can give me that kind of performance stock.

haha, your going to get probed... i mean a probe

I have a friend that bought one, the entire interior is basicly snap together. I think we only removed 2 screws when we installed his stereo

You're going to pay for dyno time to tune regardless of the EMS... Don't fall under the assumption that a newer standardized ECU is better all around there are still drawbacks.

you can't tune your stock computer like that. good luck w/ that then, cause the license to get it tuned by someone else is $375, plus dyno tuning time...you're looking at $550 for the first tune.


if a probe is what you want...get it.

aw11 supercharged mr2 could out perform it....
240..and a few other cars could also. as they say, you get what you pay for though.

thats true, don't skimp when looking for a good car.

I thought about a 240SX, but the 1st Gens aren't that fast. And I really don't want to spend the money for a 2nd Gen. But, time will tell my options. Right now, it's the MX-6/Probe

the s13 and s14 share the same engine

89-90 had 140 hp vs 150

the earlery engine is also a sohc.

if you want to go fast you'd do head work anyway. Just get a dohc ka head, theyre a dime a dozen

ya, if you go 240, look for the dohc like said earlier. more potential in em.

If I consider a 240, it'll be a 95+. I'm not much of a fan of the first gen's other than RWD

dude, first gen MR2s are stupid cheap

at least go look/drive one :)

And very not so good looking. The next car I purchase is gonna be my daily driver also, until I have enough $$$ to have 2 cars.

2nd Gen MR2 looks better, but they are kinda costly, and a 2 seater. If I want even choose a 2 seater, it would be a Del Sol with a H22a swap.

mr2 w/ the same money in mods would put you at 300+ wheel hp w/ some money left over for dyno tuning and suspention and wheels. you could probably find one in ok condition for about $5k

mr2s are a pain to work on

yup, the only way to take the engine out is to drop it out the bottom.

it's not as bad as what it everyone makes it out to be. it can be easier than a FWD to take out

Tibby knows all.

When I had my old MR2 we converted it to FWD so we could drift it. I went to NOPI 2 years ago and came in 2nd in the drift contest. Lost to a red Conquest with weapon R seatbelt harnesses.

hmmm...i didnt know you had a mr2? :)..

true story

Honda Del Sol + H22 = Much faster than MR2

i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that. mr2 is a 2700 lb car w/ 200 hp stock...and can get 300 for relatively cheap.

i doubt the you could squeeze that much power out of a n/a car for the money you can on a turbo car.

a H22 in a del sol is a pretty difficult swap from what ive heard...but since the sol is so tiny, a 200hp H22 would be very fast in there...with the $ that you would spend on both cars, you would prolly come out better with the turbo mr2....say delsol-$3k, h22-$3k...$6k for del sol with H22...mr2 turbo's I have actually seen up near $8k $10k price range...but i dunno...look around...try and find a del sol with h22...i doubt its gonna be local..

I've heard of one H22 Del Sol, it was in Texas. Ran 13's in the 1/4 mile all n/a. JDM H22a with 220 Horses in a lil ol' Del Sol.

i saw a CRX with a H22 in it. looked like he used a shoe horn to put the engine in there. no room to do anything in that engine bay.

There's a guy that works at Norton's in Spartanburg (Travis), he drives a CRX with a B16 in it, and it's pretty damn fast. You all may have seen it. It's light blue with black wheels.

i don't think i've seen that hatch yet but there are lots of swapped honda's that are pretty quick.
