I only read SCC anymore if I'm bored at work. But that is pretty insane handling, for any CRX.

this thing has to be completely reinforced, and the suspension matching was done by smoeone real smart.

speaking of pulling Gs.. i was watching F1 qualifying in Germany on Speed. they were showing the drivers view with a G meter attached. I found int really odd that they were pulling hella Gs braking and turning. but when they're accelerating, it barely shows up? how come? :dunno:

no, actually the whole thing was pretty basic... not a lot more than what I've got on my car.


Progress coilovers 600/800, rear sway, camber kit, front pivot bearings, rear sperical bearings, rear toe link kit. Basically, the progress race package.

I don't know what kind of allignment it had, but the tires were 225 RA-1s in the front and 205's in the back.
