x2 Cleanest I ever seen

 

excellent ride, hope no one hates on him and tries to steal it.

 

nice DA...

 

does anyone kno what side skirt it is?

 

DAAAAMNNN!!! that thing is clean as hell...

 

that shat is sexy

 

It's a track car. No need for either. It also doesn't have a radio, clock, or passenger seat.

Wing is there for downforce, not looks. We try our best to keep the car looking nice but when it comes down to it, if it helps us on the track, it stays.

Thanks for the compliment.

It actually has three sets of wheels, Mugen RnRs in the rain, WedSport TC05s rear and Enkei RPO1 fronts with 205/50-15 and 225/50-15 A032-Rs front and rear for dry track days. The wheels are staggered offset, which is why they're different front to rear.

Correct, it is a Hiro spoiler. We recently had them reissued and have a limited number for sale, as well as the USRacing front lip that you see in the pictures. Email tnd2gen@yahoo.com with questions.

It was a fair amount of modification that was necessary, and not all wheels will clear depending on how you make them fit. There are aftermarket brake kits that are direct bolt on that will work equally well, but at the time this was the most cost effective way to boost braking power and has performed wonderfully to date.

We keep as close an eye on it as possible, but unfortunately you can never predict the future and the extent some will go to in order to obtain what they otherwise couldn't or just to make some quick cash. We knock on wood every day, but as of now it's pretty secure and since not many people know of it or where its located and stored, I think we should be ok.

Honda Access. There's also door pieces that we didn't install that's still in storage in Japan.

Thanks, I'm glad the story shed some light on this project and what we're trying to do with it. Not a typical build by any means, but something to be proud of.

We're currently mid-rebuild with a track event coming up in 5 days, so we're working day and night to get the car put together and tuned before we leave Friday. Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I'll forward them to the owner of the car since he doesn't browse the forums much.

It's a Personal steering wheel, I don't know details or specs on it other than it's 340mm. The owner works for a sister company to FET Japan that is an exclusive Nardi/Personal dealer in the US, so if you email him I'm sure he can give you more info on it or maybe even get you one. tnd2gen@yahoo.com is his email address.

The titanium exhaust was fabricated by the owner while he was in Japan, and it was a lot easier to section weld a bent down tip (in order to clear upcoming rear diffuser mounts on the bumper and chassis) than to try and bend it.

The mirrors aren't the most cosmetically appealing, but they save 8+ lbs over the OE units, so they're here to stay.

Once again, thanks to everyone. After 2 weeks of working day and night to get the car ready and hitting several bumps in the road along the way, it looks like everything is coming together and we can't wait for the Time Attack event this weekend. The exhaust was completely redone yesterday from collector to muffler to increase efficiency and to re-hang the piping closer to the chassis so that the "belly pan" and front and rear diffusers can have clean air front to back without the piping hanging in the way. The chassis was also corner weighed and aligned yesterday as well and the A048s were mounted and balanced on the race wheels this morning. The engine is started and being broken in, and we'll be installing RC 310cc injectors tonight. Dyno is tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Church Automotive Testing to see what kind of power curve we can pull out of the B18C with all of the changes. We didn't get everything we wanted to done, but so far the tally is 98 lbs. weight savings and [hopefully] 30-40 whp, in addition to whatever positive effects the aerodynamic tweaks we've made since the last track event will have.

It'll be a fun weekend, I'll be covering the event so there should be lots of pictures to share. Nothing like race gas and R compounds in the morning!

 

wow

 

nevermind, already answered above

 

Question.

Did you replace the shock towers with DC2 towers?

 

Not to hate or anything... but in my honest opinion for the spoiler, mirrors, exhaust tip, and single racing seat..

but i can appreciate the hardwork put into the car

for a spoiler, mirrors, exhaust tip, and single racing seat that all function on a racetrack. They're not there for looks or Honda-tech approval.

No, they're original DA9 shock towers.

Installed RC injectors, bled the brakes, and finished up some minor things tonight. Tomorrow is dyno tune, a quick cleanup, and loading up for Saturday's drive up to the track. Looks to be a great weekend.
