They’re coming.
They’re coming.
I would rather shoot for this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CRX-…
Idk, it seems like a good price but I feel that you could get it cheaper at a big box store. What with the bulk discount.
Nothing in the article is factually wrong, it’s just ignoring gear ratios. If I know my power, mass, and my velocity I can calculate my acceleration without any other knowledge. If I only know torque, I will need to know gear ratios to calculate meaningful values.
Don’t forget the final drive ratio - more RPM is a also good thing because it allows you to take advantage of final drive gearing. The same car with a 2.73 vs. 3.55 vs. 4.11 final drive will feel and perform radically different on the street based on what set of gears are in it. Power at the wheels, with traction, is…
Well, nothing that won’t get you arrested for driving it on the street will handle exactly like a go-kart, but this came fairly close for an affordable price.
How about an EG Civic Si Hatch grounded by four 215/60R13 Goodyear GT Radials on Aero Race Wheels? Because that’s the closest I’ve come to road legal go kart handling.
Don’t forget the Honda CRX. My very first car, a 1984 weighed in at 1,713 lbs. Its funny how that built my expectation of what a car should be. Every car I have ever driven since seems like its too big and heavy.
Everyone knows the CRX was a go-kart, kinda slow but always fun.
Such a fun little car.
A good friend had one for 12 years, he drove it like a rental from the day he got it in 1997, he changed the oil maybe 10 times in 150k miles, never did anything to the car but put gas in it. I drove it once while helping him move, I could not get over how well it rode, the steering feel was amazing the transmission…
Nobody suggested a 90s Honda Civic?!! For shame! Even on a stock civic EG (dont even mentioned the modded ones) the steering response and nimbleness of the car are near unbeatable even by todays standard.
Poly simply doesn’t work in all locations. Some bushings are multi-axis meaning they both go up and down and side to side. Poly only works in one axis. If you use poly in a multi-axis bushing position the suspension will bind. Long term, poly isn’t as durable as rubber either. Over time poly will work open so, you…
Our bodies are surprisingly resilient in many situations, but rapid acceleration is not one of them. While the…
uhhh, the volvo....turbo V6????
huh, guess they stopped making the I6 then
What if......
