November 2003:

In case anybody was wondering what kind of times to expect I just (finally) timed my hybrid and got a 5.72 0-60mph

1998 CX full interior + sub
1998 USDM GSR
AEM CAI
custom 2.25" exhaust piping
205/40R16 Dunlop SP9000 rubber (200 tread wear rating)

I was surprised, and happy.

hey scottigee....i thought your cars was completly stock.... how about some specs on it... im interested

From the pic in your sig, i'd say the next thing you need is some springs. That's way too much body roll.

I've made a real effort to keep the car stock-looking to avoid theft and because I'm really into people thinking my car is unmodified. That's also why I got it badged as smog legal in Cali.

I don't have sway bars yet - not even OEM, so yes, they are doing nothing at all on somebody's shelf somewhere.
And as for understeer, actually with the strut tower bar and the tie bar in the back it's not that hard to get the ass around. It takes some throttle steer but it goes...after it's done rolling that is.
