i've been milling the poss. of getting a da integra, how well do they do in autox events? I'm certian that they are not preferred b/c of their weight. thanks for the info.

 

DAs can be made into good STS cars. Just look for a 92-93 RS.

they're good cars for local autocross events, can be competitive, but on a national level they always get beat by old school civics.

 

i dunno about autox but chech this out
hes the fastest DA OUT THERE !!! http://WWW.EDOMOTO.COM !!

sorry that link doesn't go quite where i wanted it to, but I'll sumarize...the first 10 finishes in the tire rack solo2 nationals were 89-91 civic si's (on all the days I looked at). Beyond that were neons and imprezas, beyond that I didn't check.

 

civics are for kids !

 

correction, hondas are for kids

 

IIRC, a prepared RS trim DA is actually pretty light for an Integra. depends on the class you want to run of course, but I think it's a reasonable platform to play around with.

as far as STS, I think the major limitation you'd face is not being able to fit any wider tires under there than the lighter EF Civics can. (I'd try 215/45-16 Azenis)

regarding the National results, Bret Norgard did trophy in 8th place in STS:

I have a friend in CO who was selling his STS prepped white 92 RS a few months ago for $4k?, too.

 

there is a guy in my region who autox DA hes very good too...

if you get on the sccaforums he should be on ther his name is CHARLIE DAVIS... he keeps up with the lemmings

 

I have an STS DA
91 RS, I do well but I race local events in my area of Canada. It depends mostly on driver, but if you want to kill a class full of people I suggest getting the best tool for the job, I have an integra because I felt like having one.

Froms what I know:
SS - Elise, Newest Corvette
