From the site; these are the suggested allowable cars for that series;

1989-2001 Acura Integra
1988-2000 Honda Civic
1989-1991 Honda CRX
1992-1997 Honda DelSol

I have heard some dissapointing things about the R line that volvo has.
You may be right, I was reading more on some old reviews and that Volvo has a 90/10 torque split. It basically handles like a FWD car and only sends 50% power the the rear when it slips. While it hugs the ground great for weather and higher speed applications, however it does not like coners that are too tight and will drift wide.

Back to the drawing board....

you can even run an EF jon

With that said minimum weight with the driver is 2400 lbs so the older body styles won't offer much stripping capabilities.

Jon that one you sent me has some rust, the guy had the front end repainted as it was backed into and the rear bumper is cracked.

I think it's a decent deal but it's also auto and I think I can do a bit better

I've decided not to drop by work tomorrow so Ill say you'll have a tough time getting it done. they are probably swamped.

Oh, and the 09's came in yesterday..... not my cup of tea. still waiting to see what they do for the sport models.

Nice, doing something with the fam today?

I thought the 09's in Canada wern't due until mid September! I will have to stop by and see them before I got. They kind of have an even more apparent mini-van shape to them now, I still think we got the best year

They should have something at the Mustang Shop I can use to check that code right?

Well guys this is a sad sad day for the Calgary motorsports community:

Race City, Calgary, Alberta. We regret to inform that at 1:00pm Tuesday Sept 9th, 2008, all racing operations by Calgary International Speedway Inc., the operating company for Race City, are suspended until further notice. All scheduled racing events for the remainder of the 2008 season have been canceled.
We would like to thank all our Volunteers, Staff, Fans, Sanctioning Bodies, Sponsors and Racers who have supported us through the last three years of operation. CIS set out to save racing in Calgary after the announced closure of Race City in 2005. Unfortunately, the rainy weather and lack of major sponsorship support and low spectator counts to pay for the racing events that have been held at Race City over the last few years has left us with no choice but to cancel all racing and shut down operations.

All rental operations under Speedway Track Rentals Inc. are still in effect.

Race City Inc. will resume with business operations for the remainder of 2008 and beyond. Art MacKenzie of Race City Inc. is in the process of deciding what racing events and rentals will be held at the facility for the 2009 season. Please see www.racecity.com or call 403-272-7223, for further information.
