Hey Guys,

So been in and out of hondas over the past while. I picked this car up a few years ago to use as my winter daily. Plans changed a bit and ended having to refresh alot of the car and have used it at a few track days.

purchased around 2012
Plans were to drive it with a B20 and LS transmission and tune it to get best mileage possible using an AEM EMS
after a winter of being a champ ( -40degrees start up no problem ) it was finally spring, after looking at the car, more than I thought needed attention
transmission needed syncros, rear trailing arms needed bushings, needed front bearings, shocks were blown

So where to start .

ordered some hard race bushings and started the saga.

 

First thing on the list was the wiring, cars ignition key was broken and would shut off during driving, had to swap that out.

Then redid the whole engien wiring as it wouldnt idle well. After car was running nice, it was time for the brakes.

I had before this a hatch that I planned to track but plans never materialized, sold the chassi but had some parts left over.

I swapped over GSR front and rear brakes ( this car came with rear drums much like the civic EX ) .

 

I appologize, the pictures are not in order.

 

so after having lots of dreams for the car I realized it was a bit soft and I should build another chassi. (have a coupe shell ) .

Time went by and sold most of the nice parts from the car, but still didnt have a fun track car. so hell why dont bring this back from dead.

Did the ITR break upgrade with hawk HP+ pads , what a fantastic combo.

Was very excited to use a set of rpf1s I got, but turns out the 15x7 41offset wont clear the caliper , so unloaded.

 

Replaced blown suspension with new AGX and HnR lowering springs. What a great and responsive setup. I was so happy with it. Tried it out a few times at track

 

i like those front ends. one day

 

Nice start man, keep it up. I see you have been lapping at Shannonville, I usually get out there once a year, its pretty basic but I like the track a lot. It seems like it was a bigger deal in the 80's and 90's and since then hasn't been updated. I see your from Ottawa, have you been to Calabogie yet?

 

Thanks, odd thing to do this with a winter car, but its keeping the smiles going. Yes I really like shannonville. Always a good time there. As for calabogie, amazing track was there last week and going tomorrow. (wish I had a little more power, but hey its all fun ) .

these were from last week

 

Nice EL build. I think this used to be two of my buddies car , Did this originally have a b16 in it ?

 

car came near trois riviere , had the y8 , the b20, and now a b16 .

When's yours going to go on sale.

 

Nice! I'm liking the Team Dynamics, I am hoping to find a set for my car eventually.

I have only been to Calabogie once, but all the decreasing radius sections make it challenging.

And nothing wrong with a B16. There is lots of potential for a good reliable track car with one.

 

Well last update for the season.

Installed a Yonaka full radiator ( from Dc2 ) and everything was super reliable for 40 minutes at a time on track. I will do a review of the radiator and exhaust at some point. Highly recommend Yonaka items for price to value ! .
