Anyway back to the original topic, how's the car going to be set up? Gutted with a 1-piece seat with a cage? Street legal?
You can find a '92-'95 CX hatch for like mad cheap, probably 2 grand tops. With the other 8 grand you can pay for a swap, big brakes, suspension goodies and a decent supply of Hoosiers. Ligher is better, screw wheelbase or weight distribution. Hatches are 500 to 600 pounds lighter than Integras. Who cares if they're nose heavy, there's so little weight that you can manage weight transfer fine with suspension adjustments. This is especially true for road racing where the corners are generally faster and smoother than in autocross.
it will most likely be gutted, probably just keep a passenger seat, it doesnt need to be street legal as i have my daily driver. i will not be autocrossing what-so-ever.
