Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

Another belated update. Late last year I packed a change of clothes and my toothbrush into the CR-X again and headed 700km across the state border to Wakefield Park circuit in New South Wales. NSW...

Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

Sorry for the lack of updates, busy month and a bit, but a few things have been happening on the CR-X.

In the lead up to World Time Attack I decided to tackle a handful smaller jobs that I'd been...

Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

Prep for WTAC started this evening after work. First up I wanted to tweak the caster, as I'd only roughly estimated the radius rod lengths when I initially installed the traction bar resulting in...

Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

Ah right, thanks for the reply. No ours are not inverted, they simply mount on top of the steering arm like the OEM tie rod, but allow slight adjustment of the rod end up and down to correct the...

Re: CR-X SiR K24 build from Australia

One on and the same! Good to see other EF8 owners, do you still update your build thread?

Re: asking for advice on power vs non power brakes

You need to modify the pedal, and the master cylinder must be moved upward to suit. See here: https://honda-tech.com/acura-integra-6/australian-gsr-3211535/page4/#post50377929

Re: New to performance driving, Suggestions??

If you're just starting out then any high performance street tyre would be fine. I've used Yokohama AD08R, Dunlop Direzza Z2 SS, and Hankook RS3 and they're all fine for HPDE or autox. By the time...
