Nice pics.   How was it going down that steep curvy road in San Francisco?   Any wheel rub?

Very nice!

But damn, that Civic is slammed!

Hah yeah, a full load (including water tanks) will weigh it down - but the stock ride height is relatively low too.  I only had to exercise caution around a couple bumps on the whole trip.. these coil overs are well designed and ride well.  I was out handling a sport bike on the twisty 101 - the biker gave me the thumbs up

No wheel rub.

Just tallied - this car gets 33MPG even with a slightly hedonistic right foot

4th place raw time out of 32 cars

Wow!  That's a tight course!  Did you keep it in first the whole time?

Wing, play nicely.  They don't have as much space on Van Island -- they've gotta keep the courses really small there.   :)

Sivic, what was the spread in times between top and bottom?  Must've been a tight-knit group, I'd think.

True. Van Island is only 450x100 kms., so space is at a real premium.  :rofl2: :rofl: :rofl2:

That is not going to fit too many full size diesel pickups towing boats.  :)

Victoria hasn't had any this winter  >:(.. but pretty good.  I did drive up to whistler and struggled to get up a slick hill with a few inches of snow (with my all seasons), but I think having proper boots (one size skinnier) would have been better.  I do find though that I can tell the difference the LSD makes even in the dry when compared to the RSX-S.

Did the RSX-S not have a Torsen diff in the front? Or was that an aftermarket thing?

RSX had no limited slip diff in NA - but the Type R elsewhere did.       

If you're going to use the front paws, best to be clawing with both of 'em.
