Dave, as far as the child analogy, I couldn't verify/discredit that one, but the best one I ever heard it that a car is like a giant hole in the asphalt that you can keep throwing money into and theres always room to throw more money into it.
But I can vouch that it's very rewarding to make ones car faster, and there is no one way to go about doing so, but here are a few things that might be common sense, but many people don't follow the "zen order of modifying": The most important thing to have working properly on your CRX [car] would have to be the braking system. You might be inclined to go fast, but it's best to be able to stop faster/easier than one can accelerate. A close next would be suspension, and suspension plays a crucial role in stopping, but you'll want to be able to get out of an evasive situation rather than accelerate. Then would be the engine mods, because you have the other 2 important parts to get your car moving/stopping with grace. And last, and least, if you wanna put stickers/body kits on, only once you have the power to back it will people take you seriously. There is always more that's been unsaid, but a good starting point along with those nice, wide, sticky tires would be some grippy brake pads, then shocks, and so fourth. Good luck, and may the rex live long, and rust free. -M >From: "Dave Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Dave Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "CRX Owners Group" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: CRX: Thanks! >Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2002 11:42:24 -0400 > > This list is great! > >Thanks to all who responded to my questions, especially >Chad, Laura, Mark & Carl.
