24.5x8.5 slicks: The breaking of shit has commenced.
Busted flange.


Rewelded the flange and ditched the exhaust system. Always coasted past the cops anyway.


Busted both axles and the clutch all in one expensive run down the track.


And it still ran quicker than most of the cars there.

Yay, I didn't bust anything. Boo, the first half of the track was slippery, then it started raining.

Went to the track today to make some low boost runs and work on launching. Felt great!!!

 

Man that looks like so much fun.

I wish I had the time to do things like this.

 

The things a blast to drive. I did most of the work myself about 1/2 hour at a time in the evenings after work.

 

this is what im hoping i can get my civic to do when im done. I was it to be a daliy driver but also be able to do Drag/Road course racing also. Props to you. Hows that OBX LSD working out? Is it the first versions of them that like to eat axles??? Where did u get the cage from? I would suppose JEGs but i wasn't sure.

 

The lsd works great, took a little bit of work to install though. Yea, it's a jegs cage, it was a lot of work to install.

 

One question about the cage, when you installed the cage how did u weld up the Main hoop with the Halo?? Did u just lean it forward or did u drill holes in the floor and then covered them up with the base plates??? One thing a guy told me at VIR when i went a couple of weekend ago, He had a 92 hatch, he put an "X" in the rear bars and he said it made a Huge difference. It could be different for you b/c it seems like you do more Drag than road race, but it was some information i learned that i thought you might appreciate.

 

Had just enough room to weld em where they sit. The ends of the halo were bent down slightly to give extra room. (I guess that's why they made em that way.)
