Re: (trooper0641)
we lost a pink car but won a awsome experience, and a experience that undoubtedly brought some the most talented young entrepreneurs in the Honda community together with the Full-Race crew to what I would consider a dream team.
As with any new adventure it has some kinks to be ironed out, and I think we had them with the car and the team, but as I said, we experienced and we learned and no doubt the whole experience made us grow stronger as a union.
I learned this weekend that I have some really incredible friends... I felt so honored to be apart of this, and to be surrounded by so much intelligence, to see so much talent and to watch as the Full-Race crew never blinked an eye or murmered a complaint when things went wrong and it ment a long night..(I never seen Aaron leave without a smile on his face, and he rebulit the car at least twice while I was there )
Geoff Raicer is my hero! I could go on about how awsome and badass you are, but I would rather just say...Thank you.

I actually love how that car turned out, the pink with the black decals and slicks had a lil somethin to it. That doesnt mean im gonna go paint my car pink, but I definetly like it. Good job guys, at least you know you would have won if that coupler held up.
Good luck to your future plans

Well when you look at other mfg's motors, it makes sense. When you lack a head with extremely good flow, you up the boost. That VW guy who sheered his GT28RS shaft in two pushing 30+ psi on his 6cyl comes to mind.
As for the axle issue, the problem is that most ZC parts you'll find here are for the cable trannies/vehicles. Teg halfshafts supposely work if you modify the hub carrier thing. Anyways, I did some digging again:

From what I've all pulled together, it would be easier to just get custom USDM civic axles w/o the halfshaft, and use some lsd. But if some company is making some D-to-B mating kit, that'd be the cat's ***. A stronger tranny, better axles (assuming they have the half-shaft mount correctly), better gearing...
