My buddy at work has a '88 or '89 crx with original motor and is looking for a better final drive.. something like 4.7 or 4.9..

He talked to houseman about making him a 4.9 and he quoted $1500.. now he doesn't race, just looking for some more spirited driving so he's looking to spend more like $150.. so that was out of the question.. any suggestions on what he could do?

honestly rob.. for 150$ there isnt much he can do.. i'd say leave that 150$ towards maintence so the car runs better.

There probably are better geared transmissions that he can use, but buying an old transmission is not something I like to suggest (plus you might as well do a clutch kit while its out and that right there is $200)

Rob, tell him to save the money and forget about the FD idea. Heck even for an amateur racer, 1500 is quite an investment.

Alright thanks guys, I'll let him know.. just out of curiosity what would be a better tranny to switch to?

I was gonna say Y8 but one is cable and one is hydro, so...
