Project wrong wheel drive

I'm not going to hate on you about building up your car, as it's already been said at this point and I can relate to having a soft spot for a particular car. Personally, I also don't think you should hate on FWD so much either; a properly sorted out FWD can and will run circles around a RWD that was thrown together without a plan.

The one thing that I will absolutely tell you though, is to autoX/track your car as it sits today before you dump $$ into making it fast. Even being "slow", that car has limits on track that are far greater than your own. You need to learn those limits now before you start throwing more parts at it, so that you can appreciate and have a better understanding of how any additions affect the car.

Don't poo poo Integras, they're great cars, just get out on track and have fun with it. I had one that was setup very similarly to yours with Koni yellows/GC sleeves and springs. Just get a nice beefy rear anti-roll bar and the appropriate bracket support. It will be far more car than you'll be able to handle on track for a little while.

i couldn't agree more with the previous statements. i had a '98 Integra RS and actually put the exact same suspension set-up that Maeng had (literally...i bought them from Maeng) on my car and i LOVED it; I miss it too. 500# springs at all four corners and tuned the ride height and the Koni's. it was fantastic on the track.

FYI  Id still have it today if it werent for thieves in Maryland

two memorible moments from that teg:

1) HPDE2 with a guy in a white 350Z: I was hauling around Summit Point - Main Circuit with an instructor and approached a 350Z that was hauling as well.the only problem was that he was holding me up in the corners and then walked away from me in the straights. After a few laps of hugging his rear bumper in the corners I finally got the point-by. He approached me after the session and asked about my car. He was shocked to find out that it was a non-vtec motor on street tires (old school Azenis).

2) HPDE2 different session, same weekend: I, again, was hauling and working on maintaining my speed through the corners (specifically through T10). I was cooking my tires and kept going back and forth between another black Integra. He distanced himself (a littlemaybe 1-2 car lengths) during the front straight. After the session I came up to him and just chatted for a while. He, too, was shocked to find out that it was a non-vtec motor on street tires. He had a GS-R with R-Comps.

ItÔÇÖs your car; you do what you want. I love builds and seeing what people do with their cars, especially when youÔÇÖre driven by a Passion Car (copyright Peter Denbigh). I just know that I wish I spent more of my ÔÇÿmodÔÇÖ money in the past on safety equipment, track-time, and wear-itemsÔǪthose things add up quicklyÔǪ BTW if you love auto-xing you will absolutely love tracking your carÔǪyou wonÔÇÖt look backÔǪunless itÔÇÖs to check to see which faster cars you passed ;-)
