Funny you should mention deer as a very close encounter is what started me down this path.

A lot of the RX-3s problem is that the stock suspension on those suck. They were designed as an economy commuter car and handling wasn't really in the equation except as an afterthought. The FB didn't weigh all that much more and even the first gens suspension was a vast improvement over the earlier cars. My SA weighed in at 2340 with everything in it and a full tank of fuel before I started modifying it. Hopefully I don't add too much weight to it, but I'm sure I'll add some.
