not to sound like a dick or anything but you just confused the shit outta me with that last post. I wasnt talking about having traction issues or anything like that. Maybe i misinterpreted your other post as saying that i needed slicks to be competitive in this area.
So please if you could let me know what you are talking about just so that way things can be clarified and all confusion can end. Thanks.
actually i will be running DSP where a cage is considered legal, but a swap is not. I do not run slicks for the class i am in, i must run a dot approved tire. And you dont need to run slicks in honda challenge either. The sanctioned tire for the honda challenge was the toyo ra-1 and from what i gathered that is not a slick.
And why would i go with an aluminum kirkey race seat when i can get a recaro or sparco that is approved? This car is not a fully built race car as of this point and is still a daily driver, at least once it gets a motor put into it.
With my suspension mods and minor engine mods i was out of stock class a long time ago, i have been autocrossing since 2002 and also competed in a couple nasa sanctioned events until a bump and off road excursion led to a totalled car and a hurt back.
So to be competitive down here you need skill, not tire, even though tire helps you do not need a slick to be competitive in a parking lot. Oh and i have a friend that has a full race prepped eclipse, and hes not on slicks, last i heard he was on a ra-1 set of take offs.
have you tried looking at the pin outputs from the links that i gave you on your other post about the mpfi? That may help you also. I know when i did mine in a ef i hooked it up to the tach signal wire on ecu, but that was like 5 years ago now and cant remember which one it was.
ya i plan on building a cage for the car and put a camera mount in it. I am trying to find some fixed back racing seats right now. Currently i have some reclineable tenzos in it but thats just not guna work for me.
im racing scca autocross this year and honda challenge hopefully next year.
i dont see any forum rules, so can anybody answer me on this one. Why am i not able to make posts in the classifieds section?
ya it was a mini me and i only run 91 octane in my cars. What caused it is the timing belt slipped and caused the valve to shoot through the piston. So ya. and it was a d15b1 bottom end and a d16z6 head. I put it together for around 100 bucks including the cost of the bottom end (i already had the head)
oh and when you are building a car for a specific race class and motor swaps are forbiddin, you have a tendency to stick with something you like and want to build up.
heres a couple things that may help you out. Its been years since i have done a mpfi swap. but i will try and help as much as i can
