Hey guys, I'm new into the import world coming over from mustangs and muscle cars. iIam also a certified airframe and power plant mechanic for aircraft. I work on anything I can get my hands on and my newest project (with macDelli from these boards) is a nasa/scca legal race car. Pictures will be posted soon and I'm looking forward to talking with some of you and reading the boards for more info.


Thanks in advance,
Jared

Can you be more specific? Are you planning on racing in Honda Challenge? Would like to see pictures as well.

 

Cool, welcome. What car/class are you building?

 

ya, its a 93 civic hatch with a gsr motor and planning on running the h1 series.


ill put up pics tomorrow, i have a friend taking some magazine quality photos of the whole process so they should be pretty cool. its not much right now, we are still completely stripping it down getting ready for a full cage and paint.

ill update later!!

Cool, welcome aboard.

I'm not sure if you've looked at the Honda-Challenge rules in the last few weeks. There's a new class, H2, that might be a more competitive place for near-OEM swaps. It's worth a read if you haven't seen it yet.

no i have not really read that much on that but ill check it out.

we want to do a k swap but its not really in the budget and couldn't find a buyer for the gsr.

thanks

heres the car jared is referring to...






93 hatch b-series build

 

the car is off to a not so bad start, it has...

basic 5-lug susp. its receiving a fresh re-paint within the next couple months along with a brand new scca/nasa legal 8pt. cage and a freshly built b-series n/a motor

 

Good luck and feel free to shoot me an email or PM if you have any questions.

One thing I would do if I were you, is to sell the 5 lug susp, and use 4 lugs. It is cheaper and there is no performance benefit to run 5 lugs. Everything else is cheaper and easier to find for 4 lugs stuff.

Save money where you can save it.

BTW, when do you think the car will be ready to make its debut?

 

aiming for this summer but not positive on a debut date uummm you make a good point on the 5-lug set-up i might try posting it up for trade or something... anymore feedback is appreciated
