Sweet, that is a good lookin' Sti I must say, its good to hear 4th gens still competing and running superb.

How does that event work, did you get 3rd out of three, or were there other that you did beat?

Yeah, its nice hearing people say "how is that little honda doing those times" When done up right, our cars can hold their ground just fine.

Edit: and another thing that is nice which probably 90% of the other cars there cant say is that its straight off the street as my DD. I usually dont even change the dampning on the suspension. After the april event, I went straight off the course, then on an 1800 mile round trip.. changed nothing besides putting in my cb radio.

When I get into street mod.. its going to be a little harder, gonna have to run r compounds since everyone else is. But its nice just going out and having fun.

It should be quite a change this time now that I have more oversteer. I'm sure I'll go way to hot into a corner and end up spinning.. but thats what the test and tune days are for! Which reminds me that I have to fab up a camera mount. I really want an external one, so we will see.

too much imbalance and you're gonna end up wrapped around a stoplight or something.

i've got a 92 lx, and the crossmember doesn't have holes for swaybars. any lx's out there that drilled the holes for the swaybars or bought and installed ex crossmembers?

a sway bar just wont make a big difference unless you have good suspension to begin with

sway bars are the biggest improvement to a suspension setup next to tires...do it
