If it was that close to the road, then it either had totally shagged stock suspension, or very badly modified suspension. Unfortunately the Civics and CRX's attract wankers and ricers who love to do these sorts of dodgy mods, so there are some real death traps out there. Trust me - stock R spec civics and CRX's handle fairly well. With light (sensible) mods they can be very sweet handlers. If your mate's was darting all over the road then I suspect it's been very badly modified, or it has something seriously wrong with it.

Also, I thought that any engine swaps / mods made cars illegal for p platers, so if he's running an Integra engine in a CRX I think he'll find it's not p-plate legal (even though it's not super quick)

Yeah it's definitely not P plate legal, it's been mod plated for the engine.

When I drove it I wasn't taking it easy (but in saying that I wasn't driving like a tool, just having a crack to see the acceleration), but on a bit of a bumpy downhill section it spat me onto the other side of the road, I wasn't even under power, just cruising.... It's low as anything as I said, and I'm not sure if it's bushes or dodgy shocks, but any small bump it makes loud banging noises, lol. As I said, it's a defect mobile.

It goes pretty damn fast for what it is, though. I didn't look at the taco but when I was giving it a hiding it must have revved to 9k like the s2k is supposed to. It seemed faster when I was in the passenger seat, but I guess that's always the way.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
