No front camber kit for me, lowered ride height gets me around the amount of -ve camber I want and I'd rather not pay money to lose a bunch of suspension travel and have unreliable parts by fitting aftermarket junk.

If you ever weigh some of the older JDM wheels you'll find they're pretty heavy and sturdy with thick cast faces and rolled rims, my 13x6 SSR Formula Mesh were nearly 5kg per wheel. I used that set for more than 15 events before I rolled that car, and they survived that no problems. So I wouldn't hesitate to use something like a Work Ewing Fin on track.

You'll be taking an unsprung weight penalty, but if you're not competing for a plastic trophy and just doing HPDE then who cares, all that matters is that you have fun and achieve your personal goals whatever they may be.

Just installed some skunk2 front UCA's. The new design looks pretty good, install went smoothly.. I read a couple of people having dramas with holes and studs not lining up, but mine went in smooth.

Nice picture.

I had drama. Then I loosen the bolts on the arm and it went in. I just had to torque down those bolts with 2 open ended wrenches.

 

Yes, our 'Solid-Deck' mid wing utilizes the stock mount points.

 

All i could think of when i was putting them in was the comment you made about how the red Skunk2's and the green Tiens make it look like christmas, haha.

 

My friend who was at the shop asked me why I chose those colors. The only response I had was, Christmas. When vendors want to make their products unique with a single color, I die inside. It is even worst when vendors like Koni distinguish their lines based off of color... yellow is a product that Koni makes.

 

Looks like I will be sticking with oem arms then!

I track on my Dunlop CPRs, but they say right on them "For Competition Use". Haha!

BTW, I dont know if I have introduced you guys to the new "daily". Old school Hondas have now taken over my garage.

Photo previous owner took.

 

Doesn't look like an EF to me.

 

No, but its close enough!

 

lol...

i hated da... but kinda didn't have a choice... i've dumped some money into repainting a DA now i gotta finish it. haha

 

Looks nice, I've been looking for old 91 era Preludes and ye olde Legend Coupe. Cheap and stylish, lol. Just hard to find in decent condition. Eventually i'll need something when I start diggin in deeper on my civic as well. Usually I hate having any car sit, lol.

 

Legend Coupe 3rd gens with the racing hart C5's look tight back in the day. Got to be 6 speed too.

 

Family at the track is SO MINT! We had our son on the Wednesday before WMHM and did a sneak attack to enjoy some of Sunday's festivities. haha. Our son was 4 days old and already got a parade lap around the track. lol. Glad to see that you had fun, keep bringing the fam, Chris is trying to cater more to the kids to keep them entertained!!!

+1 for MikeyB and Ugly Ed!!

Coop, good luck on the manual Legends though...

Anyone have any reason to pick the adjustable Cusco strut tower bar over the fixed Neuspeed one? I found them both online within $10 or so of each other.

I need to replace my old lightspeed one, the fuel return line is starting to wear through where it meets the straight mounting edge.

 

fawk speaking of strut bar.... do you guys know which bar will clear ef with gsr bb & mc?
the gsr bb pushes the larger MC out farther into the bay by about almost 2".

 

Doesnt the NS bar clear?

 

with stock bb & mc yes.. but honestly i don't know if it will with aftermarket.

look at some bay pictures here.

so you can kinda see it the mc pretty is in the way

 

RS- I was thinking for you on the legend. That would be the only way for me to want one.

IMO the Sustec or Cusco Lower tie bar does more than a strut bar.

Charlie- I would imagine the Cusco adjustable wouldfit as it is just a rod. People have used it over K series.

 

Agreed Charlie, the cusco is probably the better bet. Actually helps me too, as I will eventually do a swap, just not sure when or what, lol

 

Neuspeed strut bar on mine..it would be cutting it close if it were pushed out any further. However, I havent even check the MC size on my car, it could have been swapped already..

 

Gave her a bath for Cars and Coffee this morning..she cleans up nice!

 

I simply love that car billy. Unf

 

My f2d hatch.
Blew trans , topping 5th out at gingerman, then jumping on brakes (shock load transfer I'm guessing)



Its been around for 12 years now.... man

 

Thanks and any track EF has my love! Yours looks great too, sorry about your transmission!

 

Exactly what I thought when I saw that pic! Looks great.
