When is Acura going to announce the new EL for Canada? Or is it the CSX?  Signature"Man who shoot off mouth, must expect to lose face." - Confucious What the heck is a CSX?

Ages ago my gearhead younger brother put a 427 in a Vega. He couldn't explain why! Anyway, he chopped the firewall up to do it. He said it steered worse than a normal Vega (if there ever was such a thing as a "normal" Vega) but accelerated like crazy. Uh-huh. Mike >Ages ago my gearhead younger brother put a 427 in a Vega.

Uh-huh. It's the brakes you have to watch out for. I put a monster motor in a 1970 Malibu fifteen years or so ago. It still had the original drum brakes, front and rear. I quickly got reminded that it's just as important to be able to scrub speed off quickly, as well as put it on. Front disc brakes and a servo were next on the list...

You haven't felt bad brakes until you've experienced unboosted drums all-around. You know what's really weird? Modern power disc brakes that are grindingly down to the steel are WAY better than manual drums in perfect condition. Odd, that. And hey, view the worst I've ever seen, here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/rustybrakes/aerostar_new-old_rotors.jpg Even worse than that: Pre-war cars with NO FRONT BRAKES. Push the pedal and you'd swear that pedal was not connected to anything at all. Frightening until you get used to it.

Four drums, no booster (servo). Scary, with 300-odd horsepower.

Scary, with 300-odd horsepower. It was a '67 Chevy Biscayne (cheapo Impala) for me. I recall descending a long shallow hill and pressing both feet full force on the brake pedal for several minutes until it finally drifted to a stop on a semi-level place. Even without fading the brakes just wouldn't lock up - talk about poor man's anti-lock brakes! That was a memorable car. It had a 6 cyl "Turbothrift" engine and 2 speed "Powerglide" transmission. I recall it did a whole lot more thrifting and gliding than turboing and powering. Mike Looks like an EL to me. MZ >>> When is Acura going to announce the new EL for Canada? Or is it the >>> CSX?
