on the poor part

I loved it when it was together, but it has been torn apart for 2 months now as I play the hurry up and wait game for parts. I imagine I will love it even more when I get it put back together.

I love it, everytime it torque steers so hard you look like a drunk driver it gives me the perma-grin.

I haven't seen mine for three and a half months but I got all kinds of goodies waiting for when I get back,but the time I did have to drive it before leaving was worth every penny.

I will have to park mine for a year within the next month and I will miss the power...though I will get to play with some Daihatsu's or Daewooo's ( however it is spelled). Korea calling my name...Japan just a ferry ride away (J-spec part hunting in Japan..can't wait)!

I am not sure if you are kidding or really do not know? Have you honestly not heard of torque steer.

I think the only honda engine what would actually torque steer any would be a stroker H22 bored to 2.7 liters...LOL

I know what it is.

What I'm saying is that I have no torque steer with my swap- equal length axles and an LSD help out quite a bit.

I'll be driving an all-motor D series buildup in the CRX, and it's going to make a pretty decent amount of power.

I don't know why it torque steers so hard...It is a B20 with average mods and an Lsd tranny...axles are 91 integra pieces stuffed though 91 integra front suspension in a 1990 Civic hatch. Third gear is the worst...probably because it is just starting to hook.
