So when rolling a fender, do you put something between the flattened lip and the outside of the fender to keep it from rusting?? Seam sealer??

I have since found a car that I am putting the finishing touches on to get this on track this summer.
I wonder if you removed the ramps, how far back you could load the car? Otherwise, perhaps moving the axles forward a bit but that is some fab work and it may be easier to move the tire rack to the...
Panasports are a good option for ITC and hold up fairly well. Last ones I weighed were 10.5 to 11 pounds on a postal scale in a 13 x 6.
If looking used, check some used OEM alloys- If you are...
Where are people finding decent deals on tire/wheel assemblies? I need to upgrade the rolling stock on my trailer this summer.
I think the CSVT would be fun to run but perhaps pricey to build. The 5 speed trans has a perception of being on the weak side although BAT was selling new oem trans for like $900 a short time back....
For the service manual, I believe these are still available from helms- http://www.helminc.com/helm/welcome_retail_ahm.asp?Style=&mscsid=R3P8PUD8VV1B9KLXU440BGNTN1XB3WV2 this is the good one!!

I too run an ITC CRX and with my smaller SUV tow vehicle, don't carry many spares. Basically spare brake pads, rear shoes, a set of front rotors and fluids. I do bring a good selection of tools so...
I think this would be a good car for ITA or perhaps ITB- depending on how light it could be made. Specs at first glance appear similar to 88-91 CRX Si
We run Redline 15w40 Racing oil in the ITC CRXs at the suggestion of the engine builder. The Redline 15w40 also is labelled 40wt on the bottle.
Seems to keep pressure pretty consistently and...
This one appears to still be for sale and appears to be setup very well for towing:

I think you are looking at the cage specs for Touring which do not allow bolt in cages. As I read this, Improved Touring cars fall under the Showroom Stock cage specs and can still be bolted in or...
Have you adjusted the clutch cable? Where the clutch cable housing attaches to the trans, there is a threaded adjustment there to allow for clutch wear. The factory manual talks about this...
I would take a serious look at the radiator and either have it professionally cleaned or just replace it.
In my 85 CRX Dx setup for ITC, I have an adjustable rear ~3/4" sway bar and 600 #/inch springs which combined with the front 21mm sway bar and either stock or maybe 23mm front torsion bars, the thing...
I don't see any reason/benefit to make IT national. If anything, I would perhaps eliminate the National/regional distinction. I like the racing and prep level of IT currently and am happy with the...
I have a similar setup with two fixed length straps on the front of the car which get attached first and then I pull the car back with the ratchet straps. Works well and allows me to quickly get the...
It does not appear that the SVT Focus is currently classed. The non-SVT focus (years 2000-2001) is classed in ITA.
Are the pics that used to be in the tech center still available somewhere??
A rule of thumb that I have used- standard fine print applies- the pulling force for a rolling load is around 40 pounds per 1000 pounds of weight. So for a 2000# car that rolls well, it would take...
If your cooling system (radiator) is in good condition, you don't need a fan on a race car. If you are in super hot climates, a fan may help after a session when the car is sitting in the paddock. ...
Do you need the 4.9?? I run what I believe to be the OEM DX final drive with a Mugen LSD while my dad runs the same Mugen LSD with a 4.9 final drive. While he has to shift at different times on...
I believe the hot weber for a front drive car is the 34/34 DMTR. This is what I run on my ITC CRX.
The 32/36 was designed for a rear drive engine mounting and unless mounted sideways, I have...
I have run brake ducts and when I switched to wider tires this year, my already limited turning radius would be non-existant with how I was running the ducts. I did make sure they ended behind the...
Perhaps this is too late, but I like a lighter color (my car's interior/engine compartment is white-flat, I believe) which makes it easier to clean and see any leaks, etc.
