Notes :
Another J's Racing themed Honda
This EF8 CR-X is surprisingly much better than the EG2 CR-X Del Sol
The build is based on street/track built J's Racing EF8 CR-X that I read on a magazine article long ago, details are sketchy as I could only remember bits of information. So I decided to make a new version on 450PP level.
The CR-X is lightweight, the interior has been reworked, chassis reinforced and fitted with a roll cage, weighs at 955 kg for this 450PP version. Weight distribution has also been fixed to replicate real life CR-X EF8 at 62/38, don't worry, the handling is still superb. Powerplant came from J's Racing hand built B18C racing engine producing 260PS.
LSD uses J's Racing 1 Way High Traction model with low initial torque, low locking rate aimed at loose handling. MFactory Cross Mission/Close Ratio gear set 1-3-4-5 has been used and J's Racing 4.700 final gear is used, for tracks with higher top speed, simply lower the final gear to stock final 4.266 or 3.900 or lower. Suspension has been upgraded with newer J's Racing CRUX Engineering SPL version Racing Damper Kit incorporating Swift Springs, with spring rate set at 12/8 aimed at racing on the track, while still great on the road. Wheel alignment, particularly toe has been tweaked, with slight front toe in and slight rear toe out to give better steering response.
The 450PP version is highly recommended to run on sports tires as the power easily overwhelm the skinny comfort tires. Tested and tuned at Tsukuba, Brands Hatch GP, and Nordschleife.
At Tsukuba, it managed an easy consistent low/flat 1:06s with my best time at 1:05s on comfort soft.
ENJOY
UPDATE : Added alternative LSD setup based on real life J's Racing LSD 1 way.
