Ita 92 civic hatchback dx ?

[almskidd]

The DX 92-95 civic just got moved into ITB and the weight is 2345. Seems the hatachback should be easy to get to that weight. Hopefully that d15b7 will respond well to exhaust, if so it should be fine in ITB at that weight.

By the way I am building the DX that quadzjr was talking about. I'll have it on wheels in the next few weeks and then in november it will be out on the track at roebling during an HPDE. We will see how it does.

I was able to get my ITA 92 si down to 2080 w/o ballast, human and gas. The DX should make weight EASY!

Good luck! Let us know if you need any more help!

My car did very well at Savannah last weekend. No significant problems. I need a lot more spring rate all around, but that was to be expected ( I went kinda weak because I was scaried of killing my brand new, first time on the track, race car. Plus I had never been on slicks before and didn't know what to expect. ;-P ). Anyway car seems to be fine. I on the other hand need work!

CONGRATS! what spring rates again?

[quadzjr]

what makes you think you need more spring? I never saw the tires going positive camber or really any real body rol. you were just barely lifting the inside rear wheel on the off-camber stuff during braking. when I was behind you. I was using your car as a baseline. In comparison I had much more body roll.

coming out of 4... BTW.. Josh you did really well. car was running decent times, and was hardly using the tires.. I wish the same could be said about me.

What rates/bars are you guys running currently?

It is GREAT to see that car with an ITB on the side. A super addition to the class, I think.

I know what he is running, but whehter or not he wants to share I will let him do it. I am on 450/450 and in the pic I may have been 400/450. With my motion ratio being significatly higher than say a civic. I can get away with relativley softer springs.

It was pretty cool, the car did great for a junkyard motor with new rings, no prep, and little drive time. lasted the whole weekend with no issues... Other than when he decided to stuff the turn 1 infield into the bead.
