Conover Motor Sports build, 1990 ITA Civic EX Sedan

[Tristan Smith]

So, looks like 2250 + 1500 equals 3750. Sounds about right!

Dear God Christian, you have a ZX now!


Hey that little ring at the trunk lock, does that release the trunk lid? I like it. Where would one find something like that, or what did you need to put it together?

I ran your car through LapSim. It came out 3-4 seconds a lap faster than a Radical.

So, looks to me it will need:

+100 Car looks too good to be a race car adder
+300 Car worked on/built by Cameron Conover adder
+100 Car is in Florida and therefore faster than similar makes and models in other regions adder (just kidding Florida guys!)
+500 VTECH Ass-whupping adder
+200 We don't like Christian adder
+250 Skateboard tape adder
+50 Just cause adder

So, looks like 2250 + 1500 equals 3750. Sounds about right!

To quote Curt: "F*ck!"

FWIW, I only aspire to have V-Attack, YO! Mine is old-skool... just like your Triumph. Actually, funny fact, I've got larger brakes than your TR8... yeah, have fun with that.

Yep, it's a trunk release. Cameron @ CMS put that together... pretty simple arrangement really. Take some wire with a plastic sleeve and swage it into a loop. Feed the loop out the old keyhole. I'm sure Cameron could let you know where he picked up the materials... might have been from McMaster?

Love the build, love the thought that went into the pick, love the fact it's not a Teg, CRX or Miata. Nice job all around.

Thanks Andy. I've still got my fingers crossed that it'll be as good as I think it will be (i.e. at least decently competitive in sprints).

Finished up the rest of the rear bulkhead this evening and a few other small items. The list is definitely getting shorter with the only time consuming items left for me to do being the fire system and guages. Might be able to get everything knocked out this weekend :fingers crossed:

Well... car is up for sale here:

I was thinking the same thing... Great Idea! I might have to knock that off at some point.

We installed one on out ITA civic a few weeks ago (That it's first time on track will be this weekend in sebring.. hopefully). All ours is saftey wire, and a piece of vacuum tubing. Works like a champ! We also isntalled one in a friend of ours car that glove box handle broke.
