Looks like a ricer body kit...

Saab is always the answer.

Can you stop posting automatics? For fucks sake, this is JALOPNIK.

OH JESUS CHRIST IT HAS LAMBO DOORS

AND THAT BODY KIT UGHHHH

Louvers made of wet noodles? what's going on here?

As noted, the engine is a K24 out of a 2002 Acura RSX, and it's been topped with a K20 head. That sits in a re-purposed RSX subframe that now holds up the ass-end of this CRX. A firewall has been built between the engine and the cabin, while up front where the engine used to live is now home to a plastic gas tank and…

Hold up. This does not look like real heatshielding. Correct me if I'm wrong but this looks like one of those reflective dash protectors you put behind your windshield in the summer.

Exactly. Coilovers are justifiable if you track your car. An air suspension can get you damn close to coilover performance, but with added weight and greatly higher monetary and time cost. But air is more streetable than coils, generally.

i think he was doing it wrong. these guys had a bit more luck.

and for those who say pshaw to stage 3, there's always the nuclear option: hx35. http://carbuying.jalopnik.com/saab-9000-any-…

is that gif playing in reverse? its really fucking with my head.

Thanks for the refinish coatings link. Hopefully that's what my 9000 Aero needs.

I love both of them.

Other option is turn it into the car you want. "but I'm in a fit and I wish I had a focus ST!"

It depends on the driver. If they go through all the work of making their car sit just the way they want, and then complain about all the handling problems theyve burdened themselves with, they're idiots.

I've still spent less modifying the fit than I did water cooling my desktop, but yeah, agreed.
