The 3 are electric too. 1st gens weren't self contained, but I think the 2nd gens are getting that way.

So are MR2s. Lots of race cars like them. Small additional load on the alternator, lighter weight, less load on the engine than a P/S pump, no lines / heavy pump / heavy bracket / fluid reservoir, etc. A buddy of mine installed an MR2 electric PS pump on his auto-x SMF EF Civic. Thing was making 200 lb/ft of torque from 2000 RPM on 275/15" hoosiers, and would literally rip the wheel out of your hand accelerating out of corners.
High compression B6 with a turbo. Don't remember what kind, but it spooled really quick. The thing looked like it was on fast-forward between the corners lol

You can hate the scoop if you want (it's about the only "questionable" thing on there), but it had the intercooler mounted right under it. Kept that thing cool to the touch.

So I decided I couldn't wait to get another set of rims so I bought another set of RH's. Yep you heard it right 
Picking them up Saturday morning. Probably going t o have a set that is back to stock color and maybe orange for autocross unless I use the 16's I had last year again and paint them orange. Choices, choices, choices. Lol I"ll save up forthe Kosei or Enkei wheels after the car is painted. Time to buy tires now.

So for him to make 200lbs is pretty damn impressive. I think they made 50lbs of torque stock. haha! I love me some Honda's though... If I could have found one that wasn't riced out and taken care of I would've bought one instead of the Milly. Sweet pics, aMaff.
Corey, RH again? Ack. Come on, man...

I never said I wasn't a ricer, but Evan keeps denying it
lol. I can literally here that in your voice in my headCorey, RH again? Ack. Come on, man...
Another dd set for all seasons most likely and the others will have some nice sport tires for fun runs and screwing around in the summer. I would definitley use the 16's that I had last summer with Falkens over a 23lb factory wheel. I think the bronze 16's are only like 16lbs. I put them on a scale with me at home an they were almost 8lbs lighter a rim. Can really only go with 225's for a Rcomp tire on those.
meh who cares... if you got the RH's for cheap it doesnt matter
too many people put too much emphasis on weight here or power there and dont focus on the most important thing which is seat time... keep getting the seat time and dont worry much with the weight
but hey thats just my 2 cents
