Not really.

I fail to see why you would even want one, they're pretty gaudy.

A shiny round gas cap on a car that looks like a brick? I wouldn't let someone do that to my car unless they paid me. A lot.

You just lost the game of life.

And I've never seen anyone have one on their FC.

Dude I know JDM tyte racing gas cap covers is the only way to hit 10's y0. It like helps regulate fuel pressure and keeps the gas race ready for those races that could happen at any moment.

Best. Quote. Ever.

It is soooo true, the riciness(sp?) of it is blinding. Why do you need to put something gawdy and not complimentary to aerodynamics on a car that can already compete with the cars that do have them? I tell you why: It's the same reason all these little kids put it on their civics and stickers and all kinds of other **** on there with it. They're compensating for something that was never there in the first place. Want a hint? begins with a "P"






















Potential (what'd you think i'd say? )

Yeah, real sports car... what with the hard top and all. Lemme guess, you think a CRX is a sports car too?
Don't even get me started on "billet fuel door cap"...
Real race cars don't HAVE fuel caps. They run fuel cells.

Sports car

D. a small low car with a high-powered engine; usually seats two persons



Roadster
D. An open automobile having a single seat in the front for two


I wouldn't toss the CRX into sports car. Maybe compact car or sports compact.

Everyone defines "sports car" intheir own way, so it's pointless to argue on this point.

For me it has to be rear drive, but ask Honda lovers and they'd disagree. Some would say it must be mid or rear engined. For some the only true sportscars are things like the Lotus Elise, for others it's Dodge Vipers and the sort.

Ha! Defining a sports car by a dictionary term.... a sports car has ALWAYS been defined as a convertible... is was only until the 90's that everyone emerged with a hardtop "sports car".

The CRX is high powered fpor its overall mass... about as much as the S4 N/A... The CRX has two seats. The CRX is about as low as an FC... yet you define it differently? At least I define myself through set standards and am realistic about the FC's intended design (GT).
You know, especially how the car competed almost exclusviely in the GTU class when backed by Mazda?

Anyone considering a $500-$2500 vehicle as a sports car is simply kidding themselves. If an 86 base is truly a sports car, then I feel sad for the defnition of the term.

you can pick up a higher milage 80's miata for ~2500 bucks,.. it must not be a sports car by your definition. You could probably get a run down alfa romeo spider for that much cash too.

Also, Btw the rest of the world droped the whole has to be a convertable to be a sportscar thing about 10 years ago,... except the U.K,.. they seem to have tried to hang onto it.
