Is it street legal??

 

Read the link. He can't post anymore so you'll need to e-mail him to obtain an answer.

 

tell me jack would be caught in a *gasp* and quote "si buss"

*falls out of chair in awe*

 

do you actually think i'd buy that "bus"??? ***** no.

doing some sniffing around for a fellow Honda buff so they can race.

 

*phewww*

 

Hell, I'd have bought it if I wasn't already on a "path". Can't beat the price...

 

an SI will never win H3. GSR is the car to have.

 

sell that slow arrr.......besides some phycho will pay like 40,000 dollars for it. everybody knows civic coupes 0wn anyway.

 

Who said anything about H3? I'd raise hell in H4 as is (SSC).

Looking at the results to date, it appears that moving down from H3 to H4 will only net you one place. Would that be enough? ...not sure.

 

Couple notes IMO:

I know there are a lot of guys here that are GSR guys, but an SI fully prepped to ECHC rules with driver can win in H3. Look at the HU World Challenge car Jack ran, with a couple minor changes that car is in H3 and wins easily (3 seconds a lap faster during your race at Summit). I don't know all the specifics of his car, but it was only had a few things that bump it out of H3. I just know that I could prepare my Civic to within WChallenge rules and it would be in H3 (without ECU or brake change). Take a look at some GA cup stats sometime on this front, they are on pretty equal ground and that is with pro-caliber drivers behind the wheel

It is not, I never had a reason to make it street legal (advolorim) although it is inspectable and I could have it inspected and street legal for a buy if that was important enough for the purchase. All that has to be done is to put a set of airbags in it and the seatbelts and possibly the seat. Some areas are pretty lenient and will inspect with racing seat in the car but they always want to see the bags and seatbelts. A guy that works on my car has them inspected frequently.

sorry dude, Tom's car is about 25-30 hp above yours and i won't even go into the suspension and weight differences.

The head,pistons, cams, ecu, etc.................. are way out of H3 rules.

"minor" changes...LOL.

edit--->actual it's about 45-50 hp difference

COUPLE things NO , did you even see that car in the paddock

off the top of my head , lets see
1-no glass in it
2-brake swap
3-mugen ecu
4-built motor
5-cage

it goes on and on

 

jason need to take the arRrrrrRRRR to h6.....where he'll be competitive!!!

 

Scott and Karl agreed to give me my own class...Hsl0w

 

Add to that Moton Suspension with remote reservoirs, slicks (arent World Challenge Cars susposed to run treaded tires), SERIOUS weight reduction, 55 pt cage...LOL.
Full Blown Race car.

 

but dave.......that car has "no headwork and a stock block".....quote to me from Tom........LMFAO!

nick, who's not as dumb as he looks, despite the cammo orange Taxidermy hat

 

He didn't want to run on the WC tires at CMP. He thought that he should be allowed to run slicks in H1 since he didn't really have enough of an advantage already.

 

Ok guys.. We all know the level of prep Tom's car was, which is pretty nutty.. Abviously, he would be about 2 seconds slower if he was on Toyo T1-S streets...

Needless to say, I think this civic would be a competitve car in H3, after weight reduction and suspension...

Honestly, who thought a prelude would be competitive against ITR's in H2? No ONE!

 

two seconds slower


!!!!!
he,he if he was 2 tenths slower @ CMP or Summit he'd see a phucking NC license plate in his front windshield

Yack -who will roll a SVWC in a street kar before the year's up.

 

I just did some more reading at HC.com a bit more closely. That car is still (if prepared to WCTouring specs has a 1.6L motor. The 1 inch to the head has not been exceeded, doubt it could be. You are correct on the glass. I just checked and you are correct on the internals not being ok for H3, although I am familiar with some of the builds running in HC and find that information (cams, cam gears, overboring etc.) not allowed very interesting

Lastly you are wrong about one thing.. I am familiar with some other WCT builds and if his is near the same that car has more than 25- ahh nevermind you said it yourself on the edit

The point that I was really trying to make is that a Si stripped down and prepared to the letter of the HC rules can compete against the GSR just fine.

 

Agreed. If you read the WCT VTSS here it isn't as out of whack as some probably think it is This also makes the assumption that he has done everything there is to be done, which if that was the case he would be running at the front with Taz Harvey I would think. I don't even remember seeing him entered in WCT race (hadn't checked but just hadn't seen his name before).

Hey BTW where are weight limits for Honda-Challenge in the rules? Am I missing something?

2150 with driver for SCTouring.
