Post by JHCartwright on Aug 31st, 2014 at 6:31pm
I’ve raced this car for ten years now, and would like to move to the next level.  This car was my introduction to racing, and has served me extremely well.  It’s been an easy care to learn with, both with race-craft and maintenance.

2)      Full competition roll cage
3)      D16A6 engine
4)      Head heavily modified
        a.      Shaved to increase compression
        b.      Ported and Polished
        c.      “O”-ringed
5)      Trick pistons (don’t know what they are, just not stock)
6)      Strengthened connecting rods with case modified to fit
7)      Twin 40DCOE Webbers with ultra rare TRW intake manifold
8)      Adjustable rear toe plates
9)      API 10.5 US gallon fuel cell
10)      Re-located battery to passenger compartment
11)      Kirkey Race Seat

Looks like I'm going back to the track with my trusty Honda!

I'm a little red-faced to admit that I raced all last year with the timing out by "half-a-tooth".   :oHere I thought it was old age catching up with me.  I changed the head gasket on my own before the season started, and therein was the problem.

Compression is back up to 240psi (from 165psi).

Questions:

What do you think it might need done to it right now?

Is it reasonably competitive in its classes?

What spares (if any) does it come with?

I think with very little tinkering this car can be competitive in GTL.

The car needs only minor things at this stage.
1.)  I found out the safety net is out of date and needs to be replaced
2.)  The car could use some tinkering with the main jets to maximize power, but this is being really picky.

The car fits nicely into FIP in Conference, and is very competitive.  In GTU, not so much, since there are a number of Honda's running K20 engines in that class.

With a bit of work, minor expense, it could be a GT lite car, which would be more suitable than GTU.

That is for sure Lorenzo. 

This a very good deal since the car has always been very fast and reliable.  Hell the cage and seat alone are getting close to that cost if starting from new.

I've reduced the price on my Civic to $5,000.  The enclosed trailer is also available for an additional $2,500.
