A little history...

Greg Leone did the HT article for the HF manifold-based turbo system well after Greg and Randy, and Jeff Frank had well documented several HMT type builds. Greg wrote the article as if he had received a vision from God on how to use the HF manifold with an adapter plate. This illustrated that either he was way out of touch with the Honda community, or just simply unwilling to give proper credit for the ideas he was using, neither choice is desirable for somone who is supposed to be writing for HT. That said, even though he claims to have written a four part series, I remember only two installmements. I remember having a keen interest in the articles, because we were just starting to offer some HF based products at that time. I also remember being really disappointed in the technical merit of the articles. I remember him telling the reader that they could drive the newly boosted untuned car to their tuner, with no mention of increasing fuel beforehand.

He also did a rear wheel drive fully caged civic article series for HT, that never got past the first installment.

I talked to the guy once on the phone, and he rambled incoherently about random ish, and could not stay focused. I gave up after a bit, and just said goodbye.

He has done a good job at selling himself to the media as a deep insider in the street racing scene. Other than that, I'm not seeing a lot of justification for the high price on the CRX.

it's pretty deceiving including a tired d15b engine and not the built one from the magazine.
$9500 for smoking crx +$700 for the good motor = $10200 :'(
