Actually, my car has been driven pretty hard My friend is into SRT-4's and I go with him every Thursday to meets in my car just because and we race the HELL out of it just trying to keep up with the others. My car's been pushed to 140 mph. So I mean it's been run a lot but not on an autox or anything.

There's really no place safe to test the handling of the suspension in Maryland-that I know of anyway. Except for like the MD International Raceway, but even that place charges an arm, leg, and most of your soul to test your car.

Looks... do whatever you like, it's your car.

Sound, basicaly the same, but I have an opinion if you are referring to exhaust tone... RS*R ExMag. :goodjob:
I'd like to do a little engine mod if I can. Also, shocks/springs too and maybe an upgraded fuel system. The engine stuff can wait until I hit the lottery :hahano:

autocrossers.org



MD/VA/PA are excellent for autoX. I like the Philly SCCA events myself, but now I'm getting into autoX discussion, which can be discussed in the appropriate forum :-D

Anyways... especially in MD, there are plenty of autoX's. May want to hurry though,s eason ends soon...

And by pushed to it's limits I meant handling.

In regards to your 140mph trip.... is that possible on a stock ECU/un-chipped LS Integra?...

*crosses hand over heart* I swear to you we did. I swear on my life we went 140. I near 'bout shat my pants, but we did.

As I was typing my previous post, I realized you were talking about handling...but my fingers wouldn't stop..so neither did I. But yeah, I figured you were talking about that.

I can't personally prove it to you because I have no proof. But I SWEAR. I PINKY SWEAR (and I don't break pinky swears) that the little wench went up that fast.

Anyone please vouch for me? PLEASE?

Yeah, I figured something was a little odd about the 140mph, I knew they were governed less than that, just wasn't sure of how much less.

Plenty of HAN people in Maryland/VA. Though I've only ever seen one guy at an autoX for sure that I know of on the forums. (blue 6th generation Si, very nice )
