Conover Motor Sports build, 1990 ITA Civic EX Sedan

Very nice , clean .
I don't know if any of you guys know Edwin Ho from Detroit Michigan . But he ran the ARRC several years ago in an ITC 4th gen Civic Hatch that had the "same" color blue paint on it . Also a very well prepped car .
In fact he won the 3 hr enduro back in 05 I think .
Keep up the great work . I can't wait to see the finished product .

I haven't pulled an honda engine from the top in a long time. I am glad that some one still does it the old fashion way. This build is exceptionally clean. I like it.

Hmmm... I know Edwin's name but never saw the car. There's another car in the SE... GTL Scirroco I believe that has a very similar color off the Acura RSX's.

I've never tried dropping it out the bottom but have heard of plenty of other folks doing it that way... guess an old-school car needs some old-school wrenching

With the transmission bolted inplace it is an art that has been developed at the junkyard. A jack and a 4x4 to jack the car off the drive train and suspension. With another person I can usually have the motor, tranny and suspension out in an hour or so with tools in my bag for the junkyard.

I can't wait to see this car in action. I purposely pulled Chip O'toole away from his tasks to see your build. Is there an expected completion date? Fist time on track PDX? HDPE? Regional Race?

[Xian]

Sounds like you've got engine pulling down to an art

Chip? Have I met him at the track? No "final" date for the car... plans originally were for September-ish but some delays put that behind schedule. Realistically, the car should be wrapped up sometime December-January timeframe. I'll have to look and see what events are going to be on the calendar in 09 and what my schedule looks like.

[quadzjr]

Yeah you have met him.. his car should be finished soon. He will be working tech with his dad Herb at the ARRC.

Hopefully he will be dropping off a 240sx and picking up a GTI on the way home.

Ahhh... now I remember! I'm terrible with names...

I'm planning to head up to hang out and spectate for the ARRC. Should be some great racing to watch!
