Yep. I have a guy at a Honda dealer that can help me out with most parts if I get him a part number but waiting 2 weeks for a tie rod end from Japan sucks a bit.

 

You'd eat the field if this was a class!


Hahaha.. Im sure you could convince Adam or whoever runs it to put something together to entice more track cars!


You guys both have some aggressive looking cars. I know you run brake ducts on yours Red zc, how do you have the air blowing onto the rotor? (bracket bolted to caliper? hole in dust shield?) I see a lot of set-ups favoring one side of the rotor. but I believe the center is the best place, just seems hard to get that close and not restrict anything. would you have any pics of what your running?
-not that I need brake ducts, just wondering how its set up.



-nice rex chargeR, welcome to the discussion.

 

Thanks guys, seems like you have some really good discussion and knowledge in here .

 

Little of this, little of that. But if you want something you couldn't find searching answered quickly with reliable info, you won't find a better discussion thread.

 

Agree with that right there.

It seems the Hater Tech is outside of this thread.

Plus it has a lot of the true purist EF-Heads in here.

 

my brake duct setup is pretty simple, i like to do something that wraps around the whole bottom of the caliper, but right now it just blows at the backside of the rotor. its a small piece of tube welded to a little tab and bolted against the caliper on the bottom. its something i'll probably re-do, but i'll snap a pic or two next time its in the air. got a really exciting private-track-day at gingerman next monday, so i gotta nut-and-bolt it before then.

 

^ i love your hatch, hopefully I get a job soon so i can go tracking.

Got two interviews this coming week, fingers crossed.

 

Good luck dude! Come to wmhm12!

 

Thanks Redzc(Adam?) They make some pretty cool brackets for some American cars, not much that I have seen for Honda's.. Look forward to what you got in store. Good luck at that event, Your a busy man!

Boosted, I feel your pain man. I need to find a money tree and start shaking it!
-best of luck at the interviews!


I hope to make the 13 hour drive over next year.. Been watching the site.. and just found them on facebook. Im sure your in there somewhere. any chance you will you be instructing that weekend?

I think we should all try and attend this. looks awesome!

 

so i have a question i have a 1990 hatch that i am rebuilding and i put a different front bumper on it but the turn signals are different the original ones are alot longer than the new bumper can hold and the new bumper only is held on bye one screw and 2 feet sumone help me i cant find what car this bumper is from it bolts right up though

 

dude, learn to type with punctuation, first i have to decode that garble then figure out your actual problem.

 

hard to tell what you're saying but i'm guessing you may have an 88-89 bumper

 

sounds like he ran himself over with his own car.. after putting a 88 bumper on his 90 hatch.

 

You are on a rampage! LOL.

Sounds like you have an 88-89 bumper and 90-91 lenses

 

Not only a great discussion thread, but we assist each other in grammatical composition as well. Yaaayyyyy!

 

it is much needed though. dreyevs mi nutz wen pepol kant b hukd on fawniqs.

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i want some grammar pants.

 

Transmission blew up today...

So for an '88 HF you'd have to upgrade knuckles to use an Si tranny, right?

 

I may be wrong but I thought the knuckles were the only difference. If so, u could use an si tranny with hf axles in theory.

 

It would be spline count/size. Great thought though. I wonder if the inner axle shaft is the same size between the hf and std./si axles. Then

Gonna have to search this one out of curiosity...

 

no. all axles are the same on the transmission side (88-91 civic/cr-x)

Im putting an HF engine and transmission in my sedan as we speak so I have DX/LX/EX/SI knuckles and axles with the HF transmission

 

Good to know info. I may be on a rampage, but goddamn, if you are just going to walk in here as a noob and type like that, no one is going to help you. Idk about you guys but when selling something or buying off craigslist, if the person cant make a halved assed attempt to speak english I will not deal with them.

 

gnxpro24, you are a god! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Now I need to quickly find an Si tranny in the DE area. I found an HF tranny for $250, in PA I think.

 

Yes, great info. That seems steep for a d-series trans. DANG!

And Chemist...I hear ya. Unfortunately, if we were to poll this forum and pull demographic and socioeconomic information, I think you'd just get more pissed. Hahaha.
