new to me. thats a lot of ------- optimas.

I think the regular HF getts better mileage than this thing. :-*

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

a little too expensive and not enough mileage for my taste but still a cool idea nonew the less.

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

best part
"Looks like this motor is too powerful for CRX..." ::)

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

Conversion Cost: ~$11,000 all the hardware + $6.700 donor vehicle wtf ???

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

that is awesome. im sure if a company did it they could use alittle better materials. for more effiancy better areo dynamics, lighter batterys and so on.

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

must've come with a fully built type-r motor with 50k miles on it

otherwise, they got ripped the ---- off, even if it only had 100k miles on the chassis

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

it was last updated over 4 years ago so Im sure they did the build in the late 90's some what better explains the cost of the car still hight though

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

I never thought you could make a crx weigh 3300lbs.

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

Haha, yeah.

Stock HF gets better mileage than that thing... better than the Civic Hybrid, too.

My std 4 spd hatch use to get around 48 mpg back in its stock form days hf's shoudl be in the low 50's

I found his main page while looking for a HF "8 valve" valve cover...........about 5 months ago :)

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

cool 8) but ???

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

If he did it to challenge himself and for the fun of it then cool. If he did it to save $$ on gas then hes stupid cause the cost of the project is more than he would of spent on gas for years to come.

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

he probebly did it to prove to people that it could be done and electric cars can be practicle. if people keep doing things or a company picks it up, develops it to be more efficent and practicle. then maybe he would feel better about himself for being the nerdyest hippy ever. :P

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

its not that bad down here, seeing how i know what pumps give out free gas.

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

and think, in California he would fail smog. Visually, and for not meeting the minimum emissions output. :P

Re: gas prices got you down?
 

Electric isnt practicle.. or cheap.. batteries have a lifespan and are problamtic to dispose of.. fuel cell is where its at..
I mean they already use em for mp3 players.. ;D http://www.dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.2186
