Awesome pics, but ugly ass civic. I need to start working my esthetics soon. Got 5th place, because I was racing like an idiot and not paying attention to the proper lines. Better luck next week(15th).

Traded some steel wheels for this GSR transmission. Has a broken final drive, not a bad fix, I have some parts lying around.

Placed 3rd in my class this event, I have another one on July 5th. Hopefully I can get some decent times. I have to give a shoot out to Grassroots Motorsports they had an article on tires and turns out RE11's like a higher PSI than most. I ran them 36 psi cold and 39 psi hot. Huge difference in rotating the rear and transition through obstacles.

Working on making a DIY Icebox. I have the the air box, ITR intake tube, and CT Engineering foam filter. Still need to get a velocity stack and PVC piping.

 

[endo617]

Rebuild time for my spare head, my current P72 head is burning a lot of oil.

 

[endo617]

Event #4 completed, I got 4th place. I was a tough course and couldn't keep the car in the powerband with tight pinches. Need to get the head replaced, rear toe adjusters replaced and an alignment. I have almost a month to do it.

 

[endo617]

Head Rebuild is tougher than expect because of the condition of the Exhaust valves with extreme build up. But here's the Intake valve before and after cleaning, being lapped and my new extended manifold studs for my Thermal Intake gasket.
Less painful with a good flick

Head rebuild complete, Friday I start the transplant.

This has been on my dresser for a while it's time to put it to us. Cometic 82mm OEM thickness.

Thanks man, busy Aug. lots of events but hopefully going to HIN in NHMS Aug.2, Autox Aug. 17, and Aug. 23 is NETSFEST at Thompson Motor Speedway in CT.

Screwed up in rebuilding the head. I should have checked it and I was too worried about cleaning the valves and noticed too late. So pulled out my spare bare had I bought for $40.

 

[endo617]

Update: Bolt came out of the TPS so had to recalibrate that. Installed my ITR intake with CT Engineering filter. Removed the MSD and went back to stock, the MSD distributor cap was beyond fried. Engine seems to be more responsive and smooth through the powerband. Also raised the suspension up 5mm all around and adjusted the spring load.

Got a candid photo from BMWCCA day at Larz Anderson Museum

Any plans for paint in the near future?

 

[endo617]

Not ATM. I need more seat time racing and worn parts replaced. Budget for paint is tapped out also because of school.

 

[endo617]

Rear finally broke off at Autox, oversteered into a cone. Seems like I'm going to try to scramble up the cash to paint the car.

All fixed up. OEM>Replacement

Them Prothane Bushings slowly making their way in. Chose the color for my car finally but keeping it a secret for now. Should be good. Just need to pick up a front bumper and fenders.
