Look through the RR/ Auto-X forum, they have some people who like to go Rally style; just lose the caps lock before you get in there or they wont take you serious.

The white CRX up top was from crxpo. I remember chattin to the owner about it and the only thing i can recall him saying was that he used Accord springs/struts to get the higher stance. Not sure if he used them in the back, but for sure he's got them in the front.

how well would a FWD car actually do in the sand?? i'm sure you are less prone to getting stuck than a RWD but understeer would prob be crazy if you make a decent amount power over stock.


EF's do make great rally-x cars, stock susp w/ spring rubbers work decent and still keep you in the stock class(depending on engine mods). the d16a6 works well in the dirt because it isnt so peaky like other engines(namely v-tec ones). no sudden jumps in tq so its easier to control wheel spin through turns.

If you were gonna make an offroad Crx I'd worry about starting with converting to 4wd which has proven itself to be very expensive and time consuming. I'd definately try it with one of those AWD civic wagons though
