125k DC2... by Foss Tech
Have you guys heard of these Integra's before? Recently @ NASA Thunderhill in the 1st WCHC race I took a close look at Tom Lepper's DC2. It is very very trick. I have a bunch of pix I will upload shortly. Supposely they went for like 125k new back in 1998, and some 30+ cars were built... Anyone have more info?
This particular car was ran in WC by previous owner for a year or two. It crashed and sustained heavy damage at one point, but of course has been fixed since...

Foss Tech is owned by James Thompson's (BTCC racer) father I think.

Sorry if this is an ignorant question but what's the deal with these springs?
Very boss car though... easily the nicest interior I've ever seen too.

Re: 125k DC2... by Foss Tech (robbin)
they are helper springs which just takes up the slack and keep the springs aligned when the suspension unloads. this is different than a tender spring setup which actually has some rates and affects the handling. see also:

I thought I recognized that car, and after seeing the fuel cell and brake setup I am even more sure I have seen that car.
I am 99% sure that car ran USTCC in Portland in April of '02. I will have to check the pictures I took at that event.
And, yes... it is one of the most "trick" cars I have seen at this level of racing.

I spent the better part of ten minutes staring at this car in awe, then I saw the 'air jacks' ala f1 and just laughed.
I want air jacks.

The attention to detail is pretty amazing, and I especially like all the carbon bits. The interior is amazing. Dont know if I would drop 125K, though. For that price, would they top off the brake MC?? http://ghettoracer.com/cars/fo...5.htm

Why? If the pads are worn down, it's only going to spill out all over once the pistons are pressed back in. Mine's low, too.

I only saw it when Tom came up side by side to me after qualify and gave me the thumb up. I saw it in the race when he blasted by.
