Correct me if I am wrong here but...

Didn't this car sometime in its build run against Kubo's VW?

I could have sworn I saw a video of that race, I think it was a street race and not at the track? IDK I saw this footage a good 5-6? Years ago.

Either way, good luck on the build...sure does bring back memories

This car is one of the reasons I got into Hondas.

What happen to the original chassis ?

I remember seeing the car at Pomona one year. It would seem that a couple years later around 2001 or so a guy named Russ from Elite Motorsports in Pomona? claimed that his stripped down red A/M crx was the original chassis, but who knows.

Looking for companies that are interested in the rebuild as we speak

Russ from Elite purchased the chassis - we could not use that for what we are doing now they made some changes to the all-motor class and straight rear axle etc.

We have a chassis now to start with

how could you not remember this car ? Project "Killing time"
I got to see this car more than once. The car was a piece of art really.
If my memory serves me correctly the original car eventually got an H-series installed. Unfortunately the last time I saw the car it looked like hammered s@#t.
