I have a '92 Integra GS-R and was wondering what kind of things I could
to it to improve the handling (without voiding the warranty).  I love
the car.  It has plenty of power and rides wonderful.  I autocrossed it
once (last race of the season and I had to try it or I would have regretted
it all winter) and for being my first time it went really well.  Does
anybody have the address or know a contact person at Mugen (Hondas
motorsport division)?  I think they are in Calif.

The next question is about tires.  The Integra came with Michelin XGT V4
195/60 V 14.  In short, they suck.  They have no traction in the snow and
on dry pavement, they lose traction at the drop of a hat.  Does anybody
have any suggestions for new all season tires that will work well?

Thanks,
Jason Williams
