i would have o problem choping the top, i build hot rods in my spare time and have done 5 chops and 2 channels, i find the body work easy. but the question is would it be worth the gain, i hadn't thought of anyone over 6' in the car, i will take that into consideration.

an insight was our first thought, but around hear there 9-10k for a rough one, i have been looking around but can't find one for what i'm willing to pay in a respectable condition. so the crx won out. if i knew the insight 3cyl would fit the hf trans i might look into that route.

If i do build a vx engine i plan on destroking it to a 1.3l, to help the economy some. i would like to see 75+mpg from the car when done on the highway or better.
