BERK IT, TUNA55 WINS! Suspension re-furb on 91 integra?

The non-VTEC B18A1/B18B integras (90-93/94-01) all use the same timing belt. The 2nd gen GS-R (B17A) and 3rd gen GS-R/Type R (B18C) use different belts.

I have OEM water pump and oil pump bought many years ago from a local BAP-GEON (Import Auto Parts) as spares for when I planned to rebuild the motor of a '91 Integra GS I had...ended up selling the car and keeping the parts. I have no need for them.

I have not driven a Fit, but my ~2300lb Integra RS (that was just about as quick as a GS-R [ran 15.6 1/4 mile @ 90mph with a regular 2k rpm street start and suspension setup like it would be for track days - not a drag racer]) was good when it came to handling on track. Like being on the butt of every Lotus Elise and Corvette C5 Z06 in the tight corners and mid speed technical sections on track good. A GS-R weighs close to 2,670lbs compared to the Fit Sports 2540lbs. Stock weight for a '94 Integra RS (3rd Gen) is listed at 2529lbs while stock weight of a '90 Integra RS (2nd gen) is listed as 2544lbs. Having a lower weight, not having ABS, and being torsionally stiffer is why the 3rd Gen RS's (94-98) is the model sought after (besides a Type R) for track cars or performance car builds.

For track rat, I vote HTFU and put in poly. I have zero problem with Moog, and on the street concur with the decision (just freshened the front end of the Mustang with Moog in every position) but Poly WILL be better than rubber on track.

Unless poly means it will sit in the garage for 2 years. Then rubber is fine.

+1 on springs and shocks.

Unless poly means it will sit in the garage for 2 years.

You're supposed to follow that up with "How's that CRX comin by the way?" Yeah. Poly bushings will sit in a freakin bag. Speakin of 2 years ago, those springs and shocks are the ones I bought from Mike Whatshiseye a few(?) years ago. Pretty sure he doesn't even autocross anymore.

IDK if the honda specialists are cheaper than RA or not. i've used mevotech and Moog LCA's, and so far so good with both. i recommend you buy Moog since i work for the company that owns Moog. hey, i'd do the same for you. ;-)

Word up. It's the code_word.
