Just bought an ITC 85 Civic...

Got a heck of a deal, IMHO--$700!

It's an 85. Just towed it home this week to Columbus, OH, from Maryland.

Fair warning--I will be peppering this forum with questions occasionally...

One quick one entered my mind today, as I pulled back the duct tape on the front. No headlamps! Just riveted aluminum covers...

So, I'm wondering if I can update to the later headlamps--IIRC the 86/87 lamps were more of a flushmount, right? Any other changes needed to "make" this car an "86" in the eyes of the ITCS? Perhaps a CHMSL?

Thanks!

Congrats!! I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm wandering where in Maryland you bought the car from? I live in MD and don't know a whole lot of people that race. although I did see a SSM being towed home with lots of damage on the way to work today.

Congrats, have fun!!

The car came from Pasadena, MD, and hadn't been run in a couple years--and hadn't been on track for much longer. Waiting on logbook to confirm--the owner gave me a logbook for a different car...

Chris,
The 84-87 Civic is all on the same spec line, so I don't think it matters which headlights you run. If you do go with the 86-87 ones, you'll have to replace the header panel too as its also different. If you just want some 84-85 headlights, I have a set of those sitting on my shelf collecting dust.

Crap, forgot about the "same spec line" thing...I might have to take you up on the headlight offer, Kevin...
