hehe, if they only had the integra limited slip diff stock, a rear sway or stiffer springs... and a nice k20.. in the older 96-00 model civics... The civic would be a pretty mean FWD. handling, power, light

Well, I don't know if frontwheel drive is really that bad.. I mean, it has it's ups and downs. I don't drive an insane car, but it can go. I mean sure, it's an accord, but it has nearly 200hp NA, and a lot of frame/suspension work.. but I'd say being fwd doesn't hurt it much, you just have to know your car...

Shame you're not in Australia (I don't think?), I'd be able to hunt one up for you, at a decentish price too... And if I couldn't, probably know one or two people that could

yeah that is a shame i dont live in australia...and i guess your right about knowing your car i mean i drive an mr2 daily and when i got into my moms accord i was like wtf is wrong with your car...the steering was was so light, the body rolled alot, and the brakes couldnt compare, but back when i drove it alot before i got my car and license i didnt notice anything like that, so yes knowing your car helps alot but every drivetrain setup has big flaws...like my mr2 isnt an easy drifter becuase it oversteers if i take to long on anything...and a fwd drive understeers if you dont do everyhting jsut right...4wd has a bag belt to wheels pwoer loss... rwd is mostly balanced but in the areas that the other three are strongest its much weaker. But even if its weaker its the most beneficial since it doesnt take alot to learn the ups and downs of it,at least thats how it worked for me.

I think this is a better choice if you really want to stick with the AE86 chassis because the 4AG engines are old and even if their engineers were genius modern engines ARE better. spare parts for the AE86 should be expensive and finite as well.

That would be Techno Toy tuning in Cali. Iam actually looking at the cover of Hot Version. American Touge.
Yes its a good car an all. But theres is one mistake I see in that car. They put a perfectly fine NEW engine in a 20 year old car. Iam sorry but thats just retarted.
Thats the same as that shop that put a 13B-REW in the 86. I forgot which version of BMI it was, Iam to tired to look for it. But the stupid hachi was making over 500HP in a small and light car like the 86.
