HAHA...naw.

There are rallycross and rally stage events all over ontario, but from what I've heard and seen, those cars take a massive beating! lol

And yeah, I'm still building the new engine for it as well.

Jdm ek4, that is SICK! I didn't even know they made an awd integra model...

That ZC motor can easily be swapped for another d-motor with vitara internals and a nice snail attached to it! hehe

Rally mode engaged!!!

Pulled the front and rear springs/dampers out yesterday. Luckily, all the rear LCA bolts came out without any issues.

Discovered the one rear sway bar end link had come apart, so I've been driving for the past few weeks with no rear sway bar...lol. Priced out some new end links and the cheapest ones I could find were $37 EACH!!! Went to princess auto and got some heim joints and am in the process of making my own end links. The car seems to drive and handle fine without it in the mean time.

Front and rear now sits about 3-4+ inches higher then they were. The eibach sportline springs are now pre-loaded to give a stiffer rate. The car actually rides nicer then before, especially over larger bumps like train tracks. Body roll is about the same, if not a little better, though the higher center of gravity is noticeable.

I may try flipping the rear LCA's upside down to get another 1/2 inch preload and height in the rear, but will leave it as-is for now.

Will post pics Monday.

It definitely looks different, that's for sure. I did a little off-roading out back on the tree farm, took the bumps like a pro WRC car! haha.

Subscribed!

I'm also tired of my Civic's stance as well too! lol, I also want the rally car stance, since my car is a beater and I often go on back roads from time to time. And with my current wheel setup and hidden front fog lights, it's giving it a rally car look.

I did a bit more reading on that EF from Wagon Attack 2, and the owner (Luke Wilcox) has said that he runs Bilstein shocks with Integra springs since they are taller and a bit stiffer than the Civic's.

And Mike, this might help : http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/Performan...34Q2ec0Q2em322

I've been trying to find something to start rally racing in for a while now...
