Yeah that would be a cool daily driver. So I don't have to put miles on my 2004 when it's not even 2004 yet. Sucks

How fast can you make an old-school mini in auto-x? Seems that they'd pretty much r0x0r...

yep. the classics seem to run on a032's and a008's on the street. the cars are so light that they don't wear the tires. fyi, a race suspension is basically various durometer bump stops. then a skinny coilover type of setup and then a typical coilover/shock setup.

the vtec hybrids go with either the metro suspension or the honda suspension. you basically swap the lower front subframe and bolt in the new one. the only crappy part is that for most of the CURRENT kits, you need to extend your front fenders by a few inches OR buy a flip front that is already longer. b
