Anyway, I'm still tweaking on the car and making changes.

Seems like when I bring my EVO just for fun the weather is perfect and the track is FAST, yet I bring my MR2 and it's always something to keep me from comparing the two.

Car does handle pretty dang well though. I'm impressed with it's driftability even on the older suspension parts. I will start hunting 93 subframe and rear suspenstion soon though.

I will let you guys know after this weekend.

HAHA, hay, im at 144lbs, 5'7 and 25 years old, i was about 115-120lbs until i was 21 and started working out... and drinking. From what i've heard, with the longer control arms/suspension parts on a 93+, the car will have to be pushed harder in the corners to get it to slide, however when it does slide hard i've been told it's harder to control, vs. 91-92, it's easier to get it to slide and easier to control once sliding. personally, im going with coil overs, sway bars, strut towers, and maybe longer/stronger end links, and some 93+ brakes.
