Great work, this is definitely an amazing looking car!

Do you have any more pictures of the cage?

Jason,

Good looking car and good work. What's the intended class for this bad boy?

dtcevo

Thanks Fellas. Originally, I started building it for World Challenge. They were struggling a couple years ago and made a TC class for older cars E36, EK, RSX and such. Rules changed since I've finished, so its pretty close to NASA Challenge H1 rules. Recently I have had thought of racing in this series: http://www.facebook.com/MPTCC?fref=ts

Yes, On our FB page in the "IG cars past and present" album.

Jason I thought you had moved up to F-1 by now?
Good to see you back.
We need to catch up!

Great looking build. What front air dam are you using?

dtcevo

HAHAHAHA. I wish. No still farting around Utah and wherever Grand Am takes me. Been a busy couple of years. There has been some WEC talk though. Might be cool to do some racing abroad. We'll see. Would like to do more driving myself. Been an un-even split of working and driving. I need to turn the split around.

Its a modified Chargespeed replica.

Thanks everyone. Its been a LONG fun build. Still more to come. Details, aero and livery still to be worked out.

Car looks great. Could you give some more info on the wiring? I'm going to be re-wiring my track car soon and am a little hesitant about electrical work. What of the stock wiring did you retain, what fuses/relays did you use, etc.

dbang003

sweet build.

how was fitting those wheels with the fenders and bbk? what size tire? those are the miata spec c3m wheels, correct? i ask because i'd like to run a similar setup on an eg hatch. right now i have the 15x8 +20 trm wheels with 225-45-15 rs3's.

thanks.

We're running a 949 Racing 15x9 +35 offset wheel on our EK coupe, and it wasn't really that bad fitting them. We're running 225-45-15 Nitto NT01s.

We had to run 15mm spacers up front and had to role the fenders a little bit. We did have some spots where the wheel was hitting the inside frame rail, but that was easily fixed with the spacers once we put them on.

dtcevo

The wiring is all factory still, except where we had to run new wires. We took the harness apart and removed everything that wasn't important. Reverse lights, headlights, interior lights, anything in the dash that wasn't absolutely necessary. AND we didn't just cut it. Each plug was re-pinned.

The wheels were not bad. They are the TRM 15x9 with a 15mm spacer in the front and 10mm spacer in the rear. Fenders were rolled and that's about it. Tires are a 225/45-15 Continental Grand Am slick. They actually measure about 9.5 inches of rubber touching the ground mounted. So they are quite a bit wider than your normal 225/45-15.

Also for got to mention, the harness was recovered in that Techflex sheith. Old fuse box and relays chucked in favor of the units pictured.
