Last night the 23840238492384th fart tip equiped CRX with a purple paint job and some home made painted tail lights was revving on me and cutting me off in traffic. I turned down a road that I know well and he followed me and I heard him get on the gas so I down shifted and nailed it and took some corners, got so far ahead I didn't see him anymore even after I slowed down and stopped at a stoplight.

If any fart tip CRX owners read this thread, leave S2000's alone, your wasting our time.

Yeah me too, I had one on HWY 280 North, between Woodside and San Carlos exits, nice stretch between exits. I was minding my own business in the slow lane and he (newer Civic top half of the car Blue or black and the bottom half was painted Yellow, and he had the usual big coffee can muffler. He kept speeding up and slowing down, to get my attention and I said what the heck, at first I didn't try, then I saw the smirk on his face, so I slowed down just before VTEC and so did he, we both hit it and it was like he was going backwards. No more smirk on his face.

Hey man! watch out for those HYBRID, can give you pain in the bootay sometime. I sell motors for those CRX, and they can go VERY fast(straight line) if they have the right set-up. But when it comes to twisty road, doesn't matter much, you'll eat it alive. Just a little warning for ya.

Heh, whenever I get a chance I put a friend in my non-fart tip equipped CRX and try to beat it in my S2K. Pretty even race actually. Some old Hondas are actually pretty damn quick.

It's actually not cheap to make the CRX handle well after HYBRID. The reason being is when swaping in another motor ie: B18C or B16A they tend to offset the weight set-up. A little more weight to the front thus make the car a little hard to coner. Another problem that most of them have is the *brake-balancing* under hard braking at high speed. The car tend to swirl a little bit when braking hard at speed over 60mph. But at 2000lbs(reduction) you can't go wrong.
This is from what i've known, different cars react differently.
