I just read all 5 pages, and I decided that with the exception of about 2 posts, this whole thread does not need to be in tech talk...

A few things that stand out... A 4 mile drag race!? Thats just retarded, especially with an old crx... I bet every single bolt on the underside of that car is completely crusted by now.

And Mike if you buy a gallon of bondo, some sand paper, and some primer this week. I will come help you with the body work on the crx friday. I am sure there will be a crx that looks worse than yours after a little bit of TLC...

Back on topic! First off I would not recommend racing anybody in a stock crx hx, but IF you do, I would suggest ruthlessly slamming every single gear. D series cable trannies are cheap and easy to replace...
