I did think about the Corolla.
OK, it's late, I must be tired...but is the Integra you refer to the same one that won the ARRCs last year???Originally posted by zracre:
I think they should all be in ITB along with the first gen Integra. The fields need to be larger and there are plenty of donor cars running around for aspiring racers to get started cheap...of course there will be many people complaining that their cars are no longer competitive with new cars to the class, but thats racing...nothing good lasts forever...a car you ran 5 to 10 years ago shouldnt be expected to be extremely competitive unless very well sorted and well driven. I think that is the nature of the sport. I dont expect my second gen integra to be competitive 5 years from now just as the 2nd gen CRX is starting to get left behind on the pointy end of the field...

It's just the front-drive '87 FX16. The 86-89 Corolla GTS is still stuck in ITA purgatory.

As an ITB guy,...... I agree that the FWD/RWD distinction is not much of a factor down here in 120hp land.

You got 120hp??? ...

No way. I was just making a generalization about the median kind of ITB power.
Interesting thing about the 2.0 Golf - I finally saw a dyno sheet (for a stock engine, like mine) and was a little surprised that peak power happened all the way down at 5200-5400rpm. Torque peaked at about 4000.
YMMV but wheel HP was around 100, with 109 ft-lbs of torque. That compares with the factory's stated numbers of 112 and 122.
I'm actually going to do a pull on mine to baseline it before Cameron starts building an IT engine this summer and I'll share what we learn.
