I agree with you that thats how most things evolve into greater things.. but I can see how he would say "Why not just buy a balanced RWD?"
Because there is no challenge to it.

Did the LS motor into the Civic really make sense 10 years ago when it all started happening?

First time I saw one I had no idea why a person would want to waste their time on that kind of thing, H22 into a Civic...a total waste and too much work, H22 into an Accord....well why?? its a family car after all.

Swap a rear drive into a Teg? same logic to it really.

I am curious as to why they took out the AWD system though.

So why the change from AWD to RWD?

You should contact the mag regarding their slow ass print times and the fact that it is no longer AWD so they can make a formal correction in 8 months:chuckles:

Yeah, same logic, but making a car what its not designed to be is just odd to me.

Yes I know that the LS motors and GSR motors were not made to be put into a civic, but atleast the platform is somewhat there. Given it is easy.

Anyway I guess its just a difference in the way I think. If the car rocks though then more power to you.

Nightshade, It was AWD before,yes.But then the Drifting scene was picking up and an AWD Integra wasnt gonna catch any eyes really.( Imean they make em in Japan?).Also on the other Hand Honda was losing a Huge profit in car sales etc.Alot of kids were trading in their civics and othe rline of Hondas for a 240 or an 86 or a car of the sort.We are just trying to keep the community alive.Thats all.We didnt just say hey we have bazillion dollars to spend on something no one has done.no.

well.Blake and I ran like 987564756 Names for the company..Before you might of known us as PROmotion Motorsports,back in 02 when we won Pikes Peak in the EG.

Well.I came to thinking what driving YOUR car ment.To alot of enthusiasts we all know how our own car feels.Basicly when you are driving YOUR car,you know its limits.You dont go by what the car tells you but what you feel,witch any real hardcore enthusiast knows.So,I came up with "braille,Performance you can feel".

altho we do have shirts for sale that read,"caution,Blind drifters ahead"h:
