it was a joke.




And i think it would be cheaper to buy an NSX than to try to put the engine in a CL and have the drive train working well.

thats a mid engine car, rear wheel drive vehicle. It would definately take some money to get it to run right, if at all.

There's a mini cooper on honda-tech.com that has an h22a swap.

I've also seen a crx with a nsx engine mounted in the trunk.

If that's the case, then it should work fine, right? Cause now it will be front engine w/ front wheel drive. Plus, the 91-93 NSX's were 3.0's. But I don't think the CL auto and manual trannies are up to specs to host the NSX 3.0 engine. Unless you already have a 2.2 or 2.3 w/ manual and also swap out the trannies.

But after ALL that, why not just get a 91 NSX for around $27-$35K and have the Formula 1 inspired suspension, all aluminum chasis and kick-ass styling?
