Best Honda/Acura for ITA??

[Ed Funk]

What about 90-91 Prelude Si or 92 Prelude S, moere cc's, higher compression, bigger valves. Trans ratios maybe a little wider than Integra, brakes ~ same as 'tegs, weight about the same??

Or 93-97 Del Sol Si, mech same as 92-95 civic, ? better aero?, and a cage could deal with the "flexi flyer" status of the Del Sol?

[Ed Funk]

Where are these front running ITA cars listed for sale? Didn't see any here and don't remember any from last issue of Sport Scar?

Great platform needs to be finished for the track and ITA spec - currently a "streeter"

Carol is talking about heading south and making noise about "taking us to a next level", whatever that means. Yep - the car is still on "the block." Lot's of fun to drive and was freshened for '08 season.

Part availability and proven setup knowledge

I'm a big fan of the Integra as the best all-around chassis. Yup, the CRX will be faster at some places (Mid-Ohio), the Miata at most others, but the Integra has the best compromise for pretty much everywhere. I think if someone were to build a killer engine for one it would be untouchable. - GA

Prelude - In a word, "no". Parts availability, aftermarket parts availability, and the annoyance of working on a Prelude. I swear Honda had the interns design every Prelude ever built. I should say that that's realtively speaking to working on a Civic or an Integra.

Yea, I'd also seriously considered the Del Sol. Same drivetrain as the '92-95 Civic Si/EX, but with a much shorter wheelbase. I'd sure hate to have to find body panels for one though.

With shops like OPM & MSN building ITA Integra engines, I don't know how much more you could expect to see out of one. Yea, I'm still learning/developing with mine, but it's splitting the finest of hairs at this point.

I'm pretty sure tGA is thinking DC. I'd still like to see what a top notch ITA DC would do.

No offense intended to anyone, but that made me smile: I was told the same thing about Sunbelt and the SR20DE...

I still don't know my Honda chassis codes, but I'm thinking the mid-90s and later? The car weighs slightly more in ITA, but as I understand it has opportunity for slightly higher power. Serra built one that showed promise, but he got side-tracked to F-Prod and Koni Challenge before it got fully sorted.

Plus, I think it's more visually attractive, and replacement body panels are PLENTIFUL. - GA
