WOW, just wow, not sure if its communication or what - tried to order a set of Panasports. 15x8 et 35. He asked for what car, I said honda civic, and he said they dont make any for that car.

So I asked, well what about 4x100 bolt pattern, do you make those - "yes"
Okay, so what is the highest offset you can do for 4x100 - "47"
And what is the lowest - "-12"
OKay, so can you do a 15x8 et 35 - "let me check, ok, yes, $897/ea"

What the hell? Since when does a set of panasports, single piece, cost so much? Maybe he meant the multipiece?

This cant be right.

Sorry, being rude - welcome back guys, nice to see familiar names.

Us right before the Fall Sprints last year where I hurt the motor. Did a full overbore rebuild over the winter. First race in 2 weeks!

Hell yeah, goes to verbalize what we all already knew about these great cars, great find!

Coop, I took your advice and decided to do the PCI spherical bearing for the front lower control arms - I ordered on 4/25, still waiting for the bushings, lol.

Doing the rear brake swap, new bearings, resurfaced the rear discs, new e brake cables, Goodridge Braided brake lines, new front lower ball joints, new inner & outer tie rod ends. Now just waiting for the bushings.

RSZero1

UPDATE! PCI Bearings shipped yesterday!! Only almost a month after I ordered them, lol. Would have been nice if PWJDM waived the shipping for not even letting me know there was a delay - all the follow ups were done by me.

Oh well, can finally finish my front end, lol

Bently_Coop

Nice, those bearings took a minute for me to get them in hand as well. Post some pics. What RTA bushing did you go with?

RSZero1

Went with whiteline rta's. I'll get a pic posted soon. Man, that is one thing I thin Instagram and Facebook have over forums, way easier to post a pic, lol.

Bently_Coop

Yup, forum much better from what I have read in comparison.

Bently_Coop

Do you use a tender in storage? Or do you disconnect the negative terminal?

testify

Scary amounts of newness going on in the bay.

testify

That car has been kicking around for sale on SCCA Forums for a while now.

It's a prepped SCCA Solo STC car.

Crushed rocker panels, but otherwise a well sorted car.


If it doesn't sell after The Smoking Tire guy giving it a test drive, I'd be amazed.

Bently_Coop

^ do you have a link?

Rob.

Just disconnect negative terminal. Been doing it for 18 years with no issues.

testify

If not for the dented rocker panels, and it being 3000 miles away, I would have bought it. Just for the parts and the drive train if nothing else.

1989 civic si - STS - SCCAForums.com - SCCA Racing Discussions -

Bently_Coop

Looks pretty solid. The body is fairly decent minus those two issues. I couldn't let that car be parted as they are already hard enough to locate being a one year only car.

rbwdriven

I just copied the list of stuff on it out.

If I did not already have two 89 civic si's then this one would be on a truck on it's way to GA.

Like stated only issues I see are the rocker panels which can be fixed by a good body guy.

Wats up fellas ? What u guys think of the progress?

jonGSR

Wow, your car looks fantastic!!

JDM*JUNKY*EF9

Thanks bro appreciate it !!

Rob.

Edit - went another route !


Ordered EBC rotors today for my crx.
They are made in U.K.
Gonna pair them up wih Hawk HP Plus pads.
Should be good for another 9 + years!

Bently_Coop

Those look interesting. I wish Hawk's rotors were available.

testify

(Assuming you don't track the car, and since you are buying HP+ I'm guessing you don't)

Why would you use slotted or drilled rotors in general, but especially why with HP+?

Seems kind of counter intuitive.

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come:

If ya'll ain't fans of the wheels I can put some 15x7 Team Dynamics on instead.

rbwdriven

Seems like everybody is selling their EF's.

I like how somebody calls you out with 3 posts on HT.

Now that is funny.

I'm guessing people also dont realize that these cars are 20+ years old.
