  • A car purchased during an emotionally hard time in Greg’s life, it became a source of social stress relief; a way for a group of friends to come together and turn wrenches to leave behind the stresses from other aspects of life. Greg’s pursuit of the perfect tone and pitch for his car came from his background in music, and you can appreciate the notable sound of the high compression 1600cc Honda Motor in the cabin. To achieve a perfect blend between intake and exhaust noises would take a careful selection of parts, and an adamant decision to build the original motor. Greg’s CRX would not be built for the purists but for the enthusiast within him. The CRX became a canvas for Greg to build the ultimate combination of power and nimbleness as he ventured into more and more motorsport events - this is Greg Bruce's car life story.

    "You could have bought a BMW." So I can be like everyone else out there not enjoying what their cars can do? No thanks.
    Well done! Love what he did with his car.

      @Teknakill 4 года назад +1

      Alittle biased but somewhat true on the overall aspect of ownership, however if you really love cars, then any make or model will make you happy. It's about passion and your own love, not what others think.

  • @silverwave010
    @silverwave010 8 лет назад +89

    I sincerely wish the best for this CRX owner. Very humble, and simultaneously passionate about his build. You can tell by the way the Rex is setup: clean, original, and not too flashy. It may not be fast, but it sure does handle well, and that's what counts! Too many people drive fast cars without learning how to control it well. And his motto is right; real racers keep it on the track. That's where true skill lies. What an excellent video, definitely subscribed.

    Love it, that car makes me remember why I still own a CRX at the age of 30.

  • @Sarranwrapdc4
    @Sarranwrapdc4 9 лет назад +93

    I like this car. It's done very tastefully. And I agree with the owner about exhaust sound on these cars and Hondas in general. He did it right. But there are still gonna be haters just because its a Honda. Just because it's not the fastest car out there doesn't mean it can't be fun. That's the #1 quality I look for in a car, fun.

    • @faizalasyraff2068
      @faizalasyraff2068 9 лет назад +9

      It's not fast enough because it's a N/A. People always compare Hondas with other turbo cars. And they call themselves car enthusiast. A true car enthusiast will know how to make comparisons and will never look down at other cars. Don't be a gay in motorsports. Respect each other

    • @djhero0071
      @djhero0071 9 лет назад +1

      I respect CRXs. I can't speak for everyone but I only hate Hondas because they're the sloppy seconds of imports. Granted,I'm 18 but still.

      +Faizal Asyraff its true...i hate when people say oh you have 200 whp my 800 whp ferrari or mustang will dust your ass....like really?now if he says side by side comparisons like 140 whp compared to the fiat which has the same numbers but the fiat is better is alot diffrent.smh fake enthusiasts every where these days!

    Less is more. At the end of the day it's not about how fast the car is or how much it costs. It's all about the pure driving experience. It's about the road + car + you.

    @Dann0343 8 лет назад +1

    So many haters, it doesn't matter what he drives, as long as he enjoys what he drives we aren't in any place to judge. CRX or GTR, what matters most is we give the owner the respect he deserves for his chosen platform. It's all about enjoying the car you drive, daily or weekend warrior/track car. Clearly it isn't all about high horsepower for him, it's all about taking it out and enjoying the fact that manufacturers used to make barebones lightweight sports cars, now they're all loaded up with safety features and tech.

I have a 99 NB stone stock and it's a blast to drive as well. I don't guess I'll be on the look out for a CRX any more I have too many as it is, lol. I also have a Black 944 Turbo (951) Porsche and a 98 Mustang GT so I guess I will just enjoy this vicariously through the videos, lol. Great video by the way. Just subbed.

      This is so true. Even though i move ahead and did a B and later a K swap i still love the D series and respect people who build them. Weirdly it gets a lot of hate even inside the Honda community when someone mentions they rather build D series instead of something more powerful from the start
