Hey whats up all yall in HC Land. I hope I've come to the right place for answers on a new ride I've obtained for a HC car.

The chasis is a '95 GSR, and a '98Spec. R Motor. Which class would the car be qualified to enter???

How many points do I need minimum for a roll bar set-up and which cage would I also need???

Would I be able to replace the factory Front End with the JDM Conversion and still enter the Honda Challenge?????

 

Rulebook

That's always the first place to look.

- H1
- 6
- yes

You might want to wait for the 2004 rules to be released to start building.

 

any guess on an ETA for the '04 rules? I'm trying to decide between an H2 and H1 car...

Unless you have a money tree I would advise against that.

 

You might want to rethink you're plan man. You've got a relatively expensive tub, with a very expensive engine in it which bumps you into H1. In that class you may be racing against CRX's with K-series engines in them... less weight, more power, and probably less cost. You do the math. Probably your best bet would be to build a H5 or H4 civic hatch or CRX and maybe put your R motor in it if you want to play in H1. If you really want to race that tub, get rid of the R engine and put a regular GSR engine in it so you can stay in H3 where you'll at least have a competitive set-up.

 

'04 rules are being worked on. Hopefully, they will be released in Oct. Go to the http://www.hondachallenge.com site. Click on West. You should also check out the NASA CCR @ http://www.nasaproracing.com. The rules are available online.

Try to get in contact with Ryan F. He is the admin for SoCal HC. You can also email me if you want. I am the NorCal guy.

Not so sure if the combo you have won't be competitive. Lepper (H1 ITR) & Vanni (H1 Civic coupe w/B16) took were both on the podium @ the last crossover (NorCal/SoCal) race. Andy Hope with a H1 CRX took first. My suggestion is to talk to those who you will be competing against eg those in your region.

 

Thanx on the informative posts. Anyone here running a GSR or ITR with anything to say that would help us into our Honda Challenge Journey?
