We plan to get some of the high density padding, we just forgot to order it and we have a race this weekend so we put this stuff back in. I know it's not much but has to be better than nothing. Is...
And a couple more. The interior really feels bigger with the door bars bent out into the doors and with the front down tube going down throught the dash. We also reinforced the halo with a few...
Here are a few more pictures after we reinstalled the dash, seat, windshield, etc. We didn't get the entire interior finished and repainted because we had to put the car back together to make the...
We finally got around to updating the roll cage. As you may have seen in the earlier pictures the original cage left a lot to be desired. We also lowered the seat a couple of inches which really...
Congrats on the victory :happy204:what a way to start off in a new car!!
That's good to know. Right now we have a set of 14x7 Panasports (silver) and a set of Team Dynamics 14x7 (gun metal). I don't know for sure that we will upgrade right now just checking to see if it...
Am I reading the GCR correctly? I have a 1990 Honda Civic SI which I believe came stock with 14" wheels. Can I legally run 15" wheels on this car?
I would replace the down tube if it were my car. Safety is not an area to skimp on, it's not worth your life. A crimp in a tube becomes the weak point, and the point of failure in an accident. It...
I would be surprised if you can squeeze a 225-50-14 Hoosier under your CRX. Hoosiers run big. We have a 1990 Civic Si and we run 205-55-14 Hoosiers on Panasports and they still rub a little on the...
Does anyone have the JEGS racing jack?
http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/752655/10002/-1
They have this one on sale for $119.00. I looked at the $79.00 H.F. aluminum jack and it looked like a toy...
I just found the extra seal kit that actually came with the jack when I bought it. Now I have to figure out how to take it appart and see if that will fix it. I would still like to have a light...
I had a old china made 2.5 ton floor jack that my wife bought for me at Sams 15 years ago. It started leaking down and won't pump now. I also have a sears 3 ton jack that I hate and it's too tall to...
Anyone have results for the IT classes? How was the weather?
Thanks guy's for all the help. I will bite the bullet and use braided, hopefully your suggestions will help with assembly. I sure don't want to loose a oil line and toast the engine, and I forgot...
We run Pennzoil Syncromesh manual transmission fluid in our Civic Si. Works great.
I have an oil cooler and accusump to install in our race car. My question is, has anyone used anything other than stainless braided lines to plumb their oil cooler or accusump? :shrug: I hate...
ELO168,
You said you have run all those different tires and the Nitto is the best bang for the buck. Can you give me any lap time comparisons, the feel of the tires, and a comparison of the...
We are considering running Nitto NT-01's on our ITA Honda Civic Si. We have run a couple of races at Hallett and are just learning. The tires that we have run have been used tires that came with the...
Well we are kind of new to all this, as we have only had our car for about 11 months now. We got the body work and paint done and it really turned out better than we expected. We have a list of items...
Here are a few pictures of the finished car. We are very pleased with the way it turned out. My dad did a great job on the paint and my brother made all the vinyl lettering for the car which also...
Just wanted to give everyone a little update. My brother Brandon and I have gotten the chance to go to the track a few times this year with the help from you guy's! Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in...
The cage isn't the best. This winter we are going to redo part of it. We will be putting NASCAR bars on both sides of the car, we are also going to pull the dash and install new front downtubes that...
Painting is done. We are going to put it back together tonight and apply the decals and stickers. It will look different with the decals and stickers. Right now it looks like a barbasol can.
Pictures during the painting process:
