What did you do to your doors? I like the way it looks, but what is it?

 

able to run up to 9k? dont forget your rods and a girdle...

 

Knew I forgot to mention something , springs retainers...its getting the works...heh. What _did_ I do to the doors...there stock as far as I know. I hope I didnt change something while I wasnt looking

badass hatch

 

thats a lot of cage...is it custom?
is it considered a 6 point?
surely you dont drive that everyday...do ya?
that thing will be even awesomer(sp ) with the lsvtec

 

its like a 12 point. welded and bolted. bars all over the damn place. changing his throttle cable SUCKED! unside down in a jungle gym basicly.

 

haha, ls/vtec... i have one of those.

 

12 point...jeeezz!! i have a hard enuff time moving around in 4g's without cages...i might just have to settle for a simple 4 point in the future, maybe 6 point, in my crx

 

Its not a 12 point...Al is on crack. Its a 6 point with 2 support struts..wait..5 support struts..wow...i guess it is an 11 point. oh well..its stiff as heck and it only cost 600 for a full welded custom rollcage...

-Jake

 

very nice guy...but damn do you need a short shifter.....

 

short shifters kill trannies

 

do you bang your knees at all on the bar that goes under the dash??? looks like its kind of close...

 

Actually I dont hit the bar at all...even when I lift my legs all the way up my shins hit the bottom of the dash, and never hit the bar. My navigator might hit the bar in a crash..but thats what the padding is for And yes...I drive it every day

is the bar legal? For 600 bucks, that must be mild steel, it must weigh a ton

 

The cage weighs 120 lbs. After gutting the car, and the addition of the Ls the car weighs in 10 lbs under stock of 2230. A friend of the guy who built it is a state trooper, and in his words "as long as the door bar is less than a foot from the floor, and you still have vision in your rear view, and drivers side mirrors,...any roll bar is legal". Checked with the Dept. of trans too.

Ls/Vtec=
go for it man...just dont take as long as me....3 months planning, 1 year in the making...i just need time to do and its got out of control...kind of like the snow ball affect, but the crank will be back in soon, just a couple more bearings and BAM .0015'' in clearence

 

Nice! Im actually going to be gone the whole month of june, so (for the first time) Im going to have a shop do the work. Keep us posted on how it ends up. What head are you going with?

-Jake

 

Good set up superhatch! Do they make or can you put a girdle on an LS block?

 

I just talked to my mech. yesterday, and we decided to go with a ported & polished b16 head with ctr cams, valves, springs, and 11.1 comp. He said the type-R head would be a ton more $$ and might be hard to find (he dosent like to use used parts). The gsr head will make a little higher compression, but the b16 flows better. Besides..if I go higher than 11.1 comp, Ill have to run octane booster, or race gas the whole time...I still want it to be a daily driver, and get descent milage...thats why Im sticking with the Ls tranny also. 3k at 60mph rather than 5k with a b16 tranny. Ill have an LSD installed though.

Opinions on pistons? Aries, JG, Endyne??

-Jake

 

i've got the 11.5:1 Roller Waves, but my motor is still progress.

as for the tranny though.. damn ditch the LS. get a B16 cable tranny and swap the 5th gear using your LS 5th gear and you'll be happier. that or get a 92-93 GSR trans like i did and then swap a 94 GSR 5th into it. sure it costs more but IMO its worth it.

nice setup though

 

i was thinking something similiar to this. if you want lower highway rpms, just swap out the 5th gear...

 

Dood, that cage looks pretty suspect...never seen anything of that sort before, I guess whatever suits your purpose but i know definetly that will not pass SCCA regulations.

 

Congrads on the decision for the LSVTEC! Mine is so much fun. Are you plannin gon running it at the track? I would love to know what it runs. My best it 14.0 @199.8MPH on slicks, and for street tires, 14.5 @100MPH. Both run in Arizona.

 

holy hell 14.0 @ 199.8? uh.... lets see... you must have had about a 7 second 60ft time, and then you blew out of the hole like an Outlaw car to hit your 199.8!

seriously though.. whats your setup. Mid 14s is what i'm planning for when i get my 4dr back on the road.
