anyone autocross or roadrace with a 93-95 civic coupe? just asking, cuz i see a lot of hatchbacks out there.

 

i autox my coupe
but im in a heavily modified class with my engine swap.
and stock suspension.
its good fun tho.

 

There is an EX in ECHC (Lyonel Kent) that I think also runs SCCA ITS. Take a look at the pictures at http://www.honda-challenge.com/

Take a look at http://www.2litre.itgo.com as well - we are trying to support the idea of racing cars like this and recognize people who are doing so. A couple of IT2-affiliated drivers are also running EX's in IT.

First one in my region to try STS (back in 1997 it was ST):





A good car to start autocrossing in cause of there is not alot of power to overcook your turns and such. I took several 1st places and even PA State Championships in 1998 and 3rd place at NorthEast Divisionals

 

I'll be taking mine out (hopefully) in two weeks @ Mid-Ohio for the Double Regional 8/3 & 8/4.

 

honda93 (Tony Crea) that posts here runs a 93 dx coupe in STS and does VERY well in it. He is a very talented driver though too. But the car is capable.

how much longer can you run that civic in showroom stock? It's got to be at the end of it's eligibility for that class.

 

Oh, Eric, you never cease to flatter me!!! Thanks.

In all honesty, I was one of the first people to consider autocrossing the new 5th gen cars in general in early 1994. Many people thought (back then) that the car had gotten too big and soft to be competitive, and the power increases weren't all that dramatic either... Stock they are correct, but shocks, springs, and the other stuff does make a difference in these cars. I just put a lot of time and effort into getting where I am today, and even if I never win a National Championship, I like to think of myself as a pioneer of sorts.

Matt has converted his Coupe to run ITS. Keep us posted, Matt! Got your IT2 stickers yet? We need to make sure that Tom S. doesn't take a bath having put up the $$ to have them made. I have two sets and don't even have a car currently...

I run one with NASA NorCal. We run the enduros & are classed in E2.
