Re: my crx race car build thread
they have a few endurance races and time attacks at thunderhill, probably going to start off going to a few test days with the guys from opak racing at infineon raceway tho. i need to get used to the car and tweak it a little before i will feel confident competing.

Re: my crx race car build thread
shipping for that large of an item from the sf bay area to chi town would be ridiculously expensive!! also, he is going to do this for me as a favor. he usually charges about 300 bucks an hour.

Re: my crx race car build thread

The engine bay looks a lot better. Good luck with your build!

Re: my crx race car build thread
Very nice build. Very similar to what my buddy wants to do to his 86 Si. What are you doing about the wiring? Are you using the stock PCT ecu?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: my crx race car build thread
looking good...im parting out a very similar project right now(moved over to the awd darkside lol). Just a quick question. Why go with garbage coilovers like that for a RR project? I would consider slanging those and trying some PIC select's(i ran them in time attack and they were very good for budget coilovers).
Ill prob see you around at trackdays(i run thunderhill pretty often).
