i didnt realise that the TJ model were so flash, i saw one at swift engenering the other day it was nice, was a metalic red TJ sports, manual, climate control, electric windows, it even had the mags i want. it like god is tempting me. but i dont know, i think i would truly be happy with only one model and thats a ralliart!
god dam cars, i used to have a real sexy honda prelude and then my mate had to buy a magna and get me hooked. man i used to think my honda had a bit of balls, i drove it the other day and it has nothing performance, comfort or driver feel compared!!! ill give it one thing though, it handled like a dream, 4ws is a good thing.

4ws is great if you ever come across a round about the size of a 20c coin, however, with the rear wheels turning when doing u turns on wet roads - not fun

are u talking from experience? cause i found it had no understeer what so ever and in the wet it wasnt a problem, well compared to the magna!
doing u turns was a sinch and u could prity much just drive straight into any park

Yeah, i drive my friends sc400 all the time, and it has 4ws... However, in the prelude it is fwd with 4ws, the sc400 is rwd with 4ws, thats why its not fun.... if you try and swing it a bit round the corner, all of a sudden the back whels turn and you just about loose it and almost run into a pole... just lucky the steering and suspension on it are sharp enough to react as quickly as the driver does...

The TJ'S are great. they are definately my favorite 3rd gen. there is just something about them. A freind had a gallant evo ( twin turbo, AWD, 4 wheel steer) and it was one of the best handleing cars i have driven. no understeer, very little oversteer. The ralliarts are sweet but the torque steer was a pain in the but. AWD all the way.

but for the price of a ralli art you could buy a tj or even a th manual magna for like 12k.pump like 2k on a body kit,10k in to the motor and that would rape the crap out of a ralli art..
plenty of fast non ralliarts on here
my opinion anyway..

but on the other side.u dont get that lsd,and a ralliart badge?so hmm somehtign to ponder about..

It's the bigger brakes and koni shocks as standard that I'd be more interested in - but whatever floats yer boat :D

new sports suspension=1000....coilovers=1600......give take
brakes yeah but most cases slotted rotors and good bads would serve good too
