I agree the CRX is an amazing car one of my favs! And the handling is sooo good I have Neuspeed Race Springs with Bilstien Shocks rear disc brake conversion from a 92 Integra front and rear upgraded sway bars upper and lower strut bars and the steering response is one touch and it goes wherever I put it so you are very right the CRX does handle better I was just very surprized how well the AE92 handled. And I thought the engine was close to the B16 but you say its not and the 20v is so when I do my swap I will be VERy pleased. And as for drifting in a FWD you can do a power over technique weight shift kinda thing where you don't use the E brake. If you go into a turn on the far side very fast and then turn in as hard as you can to the inside of the turn and gas it your rear wheels will brake loose and then counter steer and tap the brakes if you want to slide more or gas it to control the slide to come out of the slide bring your wheels to a straight and gas it. It not as easy as I put it. You have to be able to feather the clutch and have throttle control. I have drove a RWD I still preffer FWD I went to a few canyon runs in the RWD 240 SX there is just to much oversteer I mean you have to make sure you just turn the wheel a lil bit in a FWD you have understeer which I can work with.

I'm surprised you've not heard of a hydraulic handbrake.
uhh.... looks more like a clutch slave cylinder bolted onto a bunch of machined metal!

Trust me... I own both an AE92 and an MR2 (with a 20v no less)... there is NO comparison. None!

Ever heard, that you can do it DIY? all you really need is the master cyl of the clutch or the brake.

And as for the CRX being so great and all mighty, we dynoed a CRX with a ZC engine, wanna guess what the power output was... 61hp So much for being great.

Oh an FWD can do "the powerover technique"? That I'd like to see.
