Anyone with a h22 in a rex?

Just want to know how bad your handiling is? and how quick is your car?

i dont have a rex, but i have a hatch and handling though is not really bad but it's really noticeable from the d16, just up your suspensions as much as possible if you're gonna do it.... i havent timed it yet, but i will at the battle of the imports march 1st and 2nd.

nah, i couldnt figure out wich axles were in there, but i recently got in touch with my mechanic that did the swap and he told me that they were 1st gen teg axles.... so i guess i'm gonna look for some next time i go to the junkyard or just get some new cv joints.... when i have the time that is.... probably really soon...

I have found that it is almost just as cheap to get remanufactured axles from a local parts place..I got some from CarQuest for $60...all i had to do was take back the old one as the core when I was done...at that price, they are cheap to replace...I wouldn't even mess with the joints..

Mmmm...h22 <--- kinda looks like a dude drooling

Still gonna go with integra axles? I think you should just go with www.raxles.com so you wont have to worry about them breaking as much

Straight line performance is not an accurate demonstration of handling unfortunately. What suspension upgrades did you do? How is the understeer? Your ride must be pretty bumpy because you must have to utilize some stiff suspension.

i've got 2nd gen teg skunk2 coilovers and teg tokico premium struts and of course front and rear strut bars, i'm still looking for the rest of the teg suspension like the sway bars, arms, rear disc brakes and stuff.... it's pretty stiff, but it could be stiffer.... and it's not so bouncy, it's pretty smooth, it just feels alot heavier than my d16 civic around corners and rolls a bit more but other than that, it's badazz....

Are you ever going to try auto-x with it? Must be sick in the straight-away, but once you need tight, quick corners, it must get sloppy.
