Back to square 1 on the coupe

i would so buy the k20 if i had 3k. i dont have that much so i think im just going to throw my semi built d16 into it since no one wants to by it. I just need the little fillers under the tails, front bumper, and fenders body wise, than tranny, shift linkage, shifter, and mounts motor wise, and a couple sparco seats, quick release wheel, harnesses, and cage interior wise than its just getting spray painted flat black so it doesnt look so bad and cause i dont wanna spend tons of money getting it painted when its dented up.

The reason why im tackling this project is the suspension and its a perfect track car:
Nuespeed rear sway bar, Omni Power coil overs and struts, front subframe brace, ITR lower control arms

[SPANISH-RICE]

your caging it ? isnt it a N/A d16? to each his own...good luck on the build

[harwood39]

its not for drag racing, i NEED a cage to run in NASA and SCCA road track races.

[24valvenotak]

why exactly do you want to run nasa and scca with a civic??? for fun?

[harwood39]

duh, i love road racing!!!! thats one of my goals in life.....to road race

[weshole]

No offense Harwood. But, pick a better platform to start with. Definately something RWD. Just my thoughts.

Why do you and everyone else give him a hard time??? Come on we all might have been like that when you were younger and didnt know how to start off right. plus it doesnt hurt to have a dream does it????

[weshole]

Ya Cartman, he's right. Now, play nice with the younger kids.

i would love to have a miata, but i love hondas and NASA has a great series called HONDA CHALLENGE. btw, i dont need much to finish it.

[integra_gsr98]

I'm not one to be a hater usually but last I checked NASA doesn't race anywhere near here usually, and most cars that ARE competitive in the Honda Challenge series are pretty big dollar when you think about it.

they kinda do GSR

August 11/12/13 Mid Ohio
July 21/22/23 Autobahn
June 17/18 at Mid America Motorsports
May 27/28 at Brainerd International Raceway
May 20/21 at Putnam Park Crossover with NASA OH/IN
April 15/16 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Brainerd is close, yes. Mid America is still a pretty good haul with a truck and a trailer.

There's no way your gonna be competitive without spending anything short of 20grand on this ordeal just to get your foot in the door. Building a car is one thing, making it competitive is quite another. Not to mention liscense fees, transportation, pit crew (you WILL NOT do it alone), and last but not least.... driving ability. I've already checked into something like this before and done the math. Oh btw, you better have a VERY understanding employer. You will miss out on work.

I'm not trying to deter you. If you can make it happen, then more power to you. But, I think you may want to really check into it before you jump in head first. Go to some of the events and ask some questions from people who know. Good luck to ya.

True, but it is so worth the drive.

[weshole]

Oh one advantage you have over me is that your a tiny little fucker. I would need to lose major weight to compete. So, your one step ahead of me.

[harwood39]

ya wes, your right, im tiny, i guess i have the ultimate weight reduction method going on, weigh less than 120, LOL
