[Kitami_EK9]

acura EL / isuzu domani

 

[Indiandrives]

Acura look so great. Larger wheels and tires and better, more robust bar and better front stabilizer shocks also give the advantage of a 1.6EL citizens in the department. The brakes are a bit disappointing. It has front disc, but only rear drum brakes and anti-lock system is only one to three channels.

I don't keep the car stock long enough to approuve your point but the car was made to be a bit better than the civic wich it was a great succes in fact today the car is a kind of most wanted and the car keeps its value

for those how whats to see more picture
let's go!

my new engine!

with some friends of quebecEL

I guess it's enough to see the car!

one thing the huge difference between the domani and the 1.6EL the engine is not the same d16y7 for the domani and d16y8 for the 1.6EL
one IMPORTANT thing when you talking about the EL you must be more specific
there's 2 EL
1.6EL 97-00
1.7EL 01-05

 

[coler]

[kammy11]

yes sir!
I want to change the sway bars and make the chassis stiffer than before make a rear disc swap on it
for the engine I leave it stock for now but I'm thinking about new parts but I'll save money first
I'm waiting for my apexi ws2
for this year I did almost everything I wanted to do on it

more to come!

What is the over-all weight? Interesting.

it's kind of heavy if you compare to a coupe civic around 900-1000kg vs 1.6EL 1100-1200
for a «luxury» car it's a lightweight
