THE DRAG CARTEL CRX
Where our Honda roots meet modern K-Series performance.
300 WHP · NATURALLY ASPIRATED · 2.35L K-SERIES
THE ORIGIN
WHERE IT STARTED
Before Drag Cartel became what it is today, this CRX chassis was Jeremy Lookofsky’s first race car.
Bringing it back to life as a modern K-Series build was a chance to honor where Drag Cartel started while showing how far Honda performance has come.
The idea was simple: build the car using the same proven parts we sell every day, alongside longtime industry partners who have been part of the journey.
THE ENGINE
BUILT TO FIT.
BUILT TO REV.
Packaging a K-Series into a CRX meant finding the right balance between clearance, displacement, and performance.
WHY THE K20?
COMPACT SIZE.
MORE DISPLACEMENT.
Fitting a K-Series into a CRX comes with one major challenge: hood clearance. To keep the engine package low, the build starts with a K20 block mounted using Hasport engine mounts in their lower mounting position.
But packaging didn’t mean sacrificing displacement. A Crower 92mm stroker crank brings the engine to approximately 2.35 liters, combining the compact dimensions of the K20 with torque characteristics closer to a K24.
From there, the engine is loaded with proven Drag Cartel components designed to support a naturally aspirated combination built to perform throughout the RPM range.

DRIVETRAIN + CONTROL
BUILT TO SHIFT.
BUILT TO RESPOND.
A naturally aspirated K-Series making 300 wheel horsepower needs a drivetrain and control system capable of putting that performance to work.
POWER TO THE PAVEMENT
Power is transferred through a Pfitzner Performance Gearbox 6-speed sequential transmission, delivering fast gear changes and race-proven durability.
Engine management is handled by a Haltech Elite ECU, with all wiring and calibration completed by Turbo Joe. The result is a combination designed to stay responsive, consistent, and reliable at 300 wheel horsepower.
CHASSIS + CONTROL
BUILT TO STICK.
BUILT TO STOP.
The CRX chassis is backed by proven suspension, braking, wheel, and tire components designed to keep the car composed as performance increases.
SUSPENSION
K-TUNED
A K-Tuned traction bar and coilover system provide the foundation for suspension and handling, helping keep the lightweight CRX controlled and responsive.

BRAKES
WILWOOD
Stopping power comes from a Wilwood brake package developed using this very CRX as the platform for a new brake kit.
WHEELS + TIRES
MUGEN RNR
Refinished Mugen RNR wheels restored by Willywerx are wrapped in Yokohama Advan A052 tires for a period-correct look backed by modern grip.

THE FINISHED BUILD
BUILT WITH PURPOSE.
FINISHED WITH INTENT.
Every part of the CRX was chosen with the same goal in mind: preserve the character of the chassis while building a modern K-Series car that performs at every level.
