Just a guess but they probably don't pass crash tests too well. The Del Sol and CRX were pretty flimsy by today's standards.

They were fine fine cars. I wish that Honda, or Toyota, would make such a car using today's metallurgy, or with a composite. They would probably have a waiting list for them in short order.

Anyone else have any ongoing project vehicles?

I have my 4 Runner which is my continuous project.


As I bought it


During the bob (9.5")


post Bob with a 3" drop(removed the body lift)
Whats your crawl ratio? And do you have daul x-cases? I want my baby to look like that.


Plans are SAS on 5" springs, 35's or 36's, daul cases with one twin stick, 13" bob and tube bumpers. Oh and a 7M-GTE swap.

And my other "planned" project. 1986 Jeep Comanche. Plans; 426 HEMI , black House of Kolor paint, 4-link rear on coil-overs and 3-link in the front. Not sure if its gonna have a blower or not yet. Story; me and my grandad bought this truck for $500 with 120XXX miles on it and it now has 340XXX miles so it mainly has sentimental value, but i love it.

Lower ride and no money.

I have duals but they aren't in, I am swapping in a 4.3/700r4/toy/toy. I drive it alot on the road and I already had the 4.3 I am looking at getting the OTT dana 300 to toy case adapter futher down the road, however it will depend alot on where I end up going with the setup for tighter trails.
