Oh yeah, it's pretty fast. Take a high revving 180HP or so engine combined with a 2000 lbs chassis and you have a very quick car. Once it hits VTEC, it just takes off. The car feels uneasy at high speeds and in turns though. I think the M3 handles much better."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Drop $2k in bracing and suspension and you'll run cirlces around a stock M3. Nice ride.Originally posted by reelizmpro

I wondered the same thing because the later 90-91 Si's had rear disks but the later models also weighed more. The 88 is the lightest 2nd Gen CRX even with the higher output the weight hasn't changed much (still 16v 1.6liter) and the brakes seem to be enough to stop the car reliably but I haven't pushed the car to its limits or anything. The distribution is like 65/35 or something so most of the weight is up front anyway.Originally posted by Jordan
BTW: it's on Neuspeed springs and Tokico gas shocks w/Integra front suspension."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Wow, a Honda that actually looks good... props.Comment

doesnt look all that amazing to me, but im sure it moves with that b16. get a tuned ecu with some higher reving valve springs and turn 9500. then it will really move. (ask me how i know :D )
why did u go with integra front suspension and left the rear?98 M3/4/5

Rear discs make a world of difference in stopping !
weight between the 1988-1989 + 1990-1991 Is only about 25O lbs.
Remember, these cars were defenitly not built for speed at all ! There is no design for high speeds ! A front splitter + rear wing would dramatically make the car more stable at high speeds.Comment
