my buddy has a crx that KILLED my oz. he completely stripped the interior, put in some crazy integra engine with SRI and done up exhaust. there are no seats in it except for the drivers. unfortunately he inhereted the car, because the guy who had it first had the engine fall on him and crush him. The car is for sale if anyone interested

on the other hand, I raced a 325is on the yellowhead highway on the weekend and had him beat until 110kph!! then he blew past, but he was pretty shocked. (as was i) cuz i only have the exhaust and CAI installed

odd that you got wasted by a crx, cuz i raced one back from niagara on the lake in the summer and wrecked it. the amount of traffic might have had something to do with it, but at the same time in the clear spots he couldn't catch up.

alright this is my 4th time trying to get this thread going. getting really pissed off at trying to upload this image, so this is going to be short.
basically i took my car to the track fri night and this was my fastest run of the night. now, i am basically running stock with a CAI, motor mounts, and a bare trunk with no interior or spare tire.
kind of upset at the slow times i was getting, since i was hoping for closer to 16 flat. now, this is my first time to the track so i'm sure it could improve with experience, but still.

that's what i'm aiming for tonight: lower reaction time, better launch, smoother shifting. i also learned a couple tricks that i didn't know my first time out. if you put the car in reverse and back up even just a small amount, then put it in forward, you have posi for your launch! i tried it out and it works, i left a 2 wheel burnout in the parking lot of timmy's. never knew this before since i have always driven RWD cars that already had a posi in them.
