I'm glad John did that. I didn't want to go trolling over there.
Looks like a positive response so far.

That was me!

This is my first post here, but a long time reader.

I'm very much looking forward to the ECHC. The SCCA was/ is driving me crazy with the IT classifcations of the Honda/ Acura products.... so I was looking for another venue to go race with.

Thanks Honda-Challenge.

John

Why would we do that? I mean, you DO carry the ASGM Stage IV, DON'T you?

Seriously, welcome aboard and thanks for supporting the sport!

John...don't you need to be working (as in Integra Splitter)? Just kidding. If anyone get's mad, I'll be more than happy (along with the other ECHC competitors...Drew comes to mind more than anyone ), to express my 'get over it' attitude. And as Corey said, Welcome aboard....

Corey..... The Prelude Air-dam and splitter are finished, tested and ready for the public. Tom Fowler used the same unit on his ITS prelude........ e-mail me and we'll talk.

J28S........ I know, I know. Princton Acura has the parts on order and they should be here this week...... Hopefully the 94 up Integra will be ready mid-Feburary.

On a different note......... Maybe I should franchise this whole mess I've started. I have over 60 e-mails from VW racers that I don't have products for. I have no time or interest (now) to develop that product line.

Well to the shop I go.......

John

Johm,

Let me know if you are heading down to VIR for the NASA race. I'm heading down from Philly, so if you want to caravan down with us, you are welcome to.

Matt,

I will take you up on some of the caravaning! However, I can not make the Feb. date at VIR. Too much work to do. I'm going to have to rely on my completed SCCA Novice permit to get my provistional lisc with NASA.

Thanks and stay in touch.

See you at the track.

John

where is windsor, nj anyway? do you have CRX parts?

Matt

Okay, I just checked your site, so you can ignore that question!

So does stage 1 really make a difference, or do you need stage 2 to get the real downforce? If you get a stage 1, can it be upgraded to a stage 2 at a later time?

Damn Matt...........

You were not suppose to find my site. You are already going to kill me at the races the last thing I need is for you to get faster.

Well here is the thing.

I started this little company of mine 2 years ago while building my Civic for ITA . I searched on-line for hours and spent tons of money on long distance calls looking for a 'spoiler' or Air-dam for my car. No luck. All there is are 'Wings West Battle kits' and huge, illegal bumper covers. So, I had to build my own.

The first couple of prototypes were a mess and after a period of time a developed a strong, light and effective Air-dam. During this time a met a couple of ITC CRX racers in the northeast and they both showed interest and so they were the first two customers. Jinx Jordan and Ed Pacitto. The rest is history.

Does it work. I picked up 5 mph on the straight at Pocono on the north course. Racing Time Trials with EMRA gives you a chance to put stuff on, try it and the next session make adjustments. The difference was with the Air-dam and with out.

I really do NOT want this to sound like a sales ad. Please e-mail me off the forum if you have more questions. Stage two is the same one Tom Fowler used for the 01 ARRC, check out GRM this month. I hope I anwsered some questions.

E. Windsor is off Exit 8, about 15 mins. from Princton. Philly is 40 mins.

John

This stuff does work. Tom Fowler has one on his Prelude and CRX. Both of those car's results speak for themselves.

I know Jinx as well. He also has had great things to say about John's product.
