im talking common conversions, outragious conversions, and imagined conversions

I was talking to a few people yesterday and some mates were like "A Rotor in a CRX would be awesome and different" so thought, wat else have people thought about throwing into a CRX or similar.

"most original" = rarest engine conversion, not the most common..

im after all ideas. either common conversions or most original. I would prefer most imaginative conversions cause i dont like to copy, but its good to know wat has been done to rule out those conversions

A big block v8 into a CRX! Seen it! Or a v8 350 in to any Honda/Acura, not hard! Had a friend put a v8 350 in to a Mitsu VR4, made 600+ hp at the wheels at high altitude. But if you want rare, try a smaller motor in to a bigger car!

mid engined h22at del sol on hondatech
EDIT: IT HAS TWO H22A'S (front and rear!)

350chev engines in the rear of crx's (there are a few around)

have seen a legend engine in a crx, but they have to chop the bonnet a lil for clearance

there's heaps of freakshows out there

It doesnt have to be CRX, any models are good for inspiration. I would prefer cars of similar size tho.

AWD would be an awesome conversion.

most original is the engine in the car
the term original your are talking about is too broad
narrow it down..

stick a few JATO bottles on it at 2500 pounds of thrust each you only need a few or you could even use a dozen hobbie rockets
