Sold the Evo, New Racecar
Yes,
I'm going over to the darkside of Honda!
1991 CRX Si 2040 pounds, 215 WHP, Built B18c, ITR drivetrain, Koni 3011 double adjustable coilovers, Racetech seat, Carbon fibre hood, lexan side and rear windows, custom cage, fire system.
Will run it in ITE, TTA, and PTA in norcal next season. The EVo was fun, but this car will be a LOT cheaper to run, and just as fast when I get up to speed with it...

Actually I did not pay a lot for it...compared to every other H1 spec Honda I looked at in all the western united states I got a screaming deal, including the trailer...it was definitely a fair price. I could not daily drive it if I wanted to...it's a race car and completely illegal for the road in every way.

Yeah, the CRX is very tough to beat for racing. Have to remember, you're racing with other cars in the same class. Pretty much every part you can think of has been thoroughy trashed and develeped for the CRX. Plus, it's a heck of a lot cheaper to maintain than the Evo.

Never underestimate the little Hondas. They're very light and it doesn't take much power to make them fly.

Well...
The fastest honda Challenge H1 cars are actually routinely faster than Evos up to say, TTA levels of preparation. In norcal the H1 track record at t-hill is 1:59, in TTA 2:01.5 (an Evo). At infineon (sears) the H1 record is 1:49++, TTA record by an Evo is 1:51. Both cars were running Toyos, both cars running very develped suspensions (DMS on the Evo, JRZ ont he K20 Civic), both experienced drivers, with the Honda driver having a little bit of an edge on talent...
Also remember that the Evo, w/o a lot of suspension development, behaves a lot like a FWD car..it is noseheavy, it responds to throttle to correct oversteering conditions, lift-off throttle helps correct understeering conditions. The Speed World Challenge Prep Acuras and Mazda's for example, FWD cars, are faster at Laguna Seca than the Muellerized Evo...so the AWD>>>FWD might be technically inherently true, but it can be overcome in actual circumstances. But these are Evo boards, and I won't be spending a lot of time lauding the merits on Hondas, in fact I probably won't be spending much time here at all anymore. It's been fun, and just though I would drop the news to anyone that might care...peace all.
