Last month my driver/owner decides that since the motor I built was doing so well, hey lets let him start all over with a new car. I don't know if you guy's know but JUN USA went under. Well they where our motor sponsors last year and let me tell you I think a little kid can build a better motor. Last month while driving in HPDE ( Fun Run !) at sears point he was hit by an open wheel car which sent him into the wall.. ouch..! Well he walked away with a broken nose and a dizzy head. So I decided that i will share the new car build up with you guy's. This is a speed world challenge touring class car. The car I am using is a 1999 honda dx coupe bought for 500 dollars at an auction . I think i might have fun with this.

well i was tring to post pictures, can someone tell me how do i transfer files off of a disk onto the page.

Biran?

Looks like it. Wonder if that was done during extraction or due to the force of impact?

 

yeah the driver was pulled through the roof. It was the only way to get him out.

In DC, it occassionally happens on open test days before a WDCR-SCCA event. The first session is mixed (since most people aren't there, the track is fairly open). It's scary.

 

it was one of those legend cars. Yeah the car should not have been out there. I was not there, but those legend car are much slower, and my driver had picked his line, and the slower legen car moved right into him. I was told our car was running faster then most of the ASA were running that day, and so that turn is one of if not the fastest turn.

 

hey dude. welcome to HT. you guys always seen me around. if ya don't remember me you'll remember my car. glad to hear a new car is in the works. if you need some pix hosted drop me a IM or email frank@ghettoracer.com

 

hey ghetto racer, yeah i have seen you before. The new car should be ready within the next month.... We'll be out running again in no time, next time you see me at the track stop by.

 

you guys going to try to run at WC @ laguna in sept then? cool.

 

we'll try... hahaha..... That is what we are shooting for accually. here's how far I have gotten this week working off and on

almost ready for the cage

 

Here ya go. Computers suck.

 

thank you

 

try just posting a link to the album.

say, are those 17x8 rims? what offset u guys use? with proper trimming on the fenders is there any rubbing other than full lock?

 

i think they are they are 17x7.5 i believe. No full lock we get no rub. we pull the fenders out a little and cut the inter lip out and that solves the rubbing on the fender. as for the wheel well, we spray paint it black and when the car comes in and the driver complains about rubbing we can see where the paint has been rubbed off, and its nothing a hammer does not fix.

 

haha, that's right, hammer! you'll like this pix:



anyway, can you find out what offset it is on the 17x7.5? i think this year the rules allows 8" now.

 

yeah that's my favorite tool. all i need is a 10,12,14,17,19 and a big hammer.
