Re: 01 Civic Looking to go Show Car - Race Car - Street Car
I hope you have allowed for turning, I know that for our car they arms could not be nearly as simple as yours, with a wide tire you would only get about a 40% radius, we are now nearly 70%. Looks as though you have mig welded yours and used mild steel heim joints. This is not a part that should be built by someone who is not accustom to building quality and proved parts. I have been building racecars for a number of years and have seen my products go 234mph in the quarter mile. I am confident that my products work and are as safe as possible. I hope that you have aslo included plug welds on your tube ends. Thanks for the pics. Id like to see a finished project.

Unless the laws are different where you are at.. I noted that you have "Street car" as one of the specs of this build... But seeing this picture:
you have modified the frame of the car. Last i checked that was illegal in most states.

Re: 01 Civic Looking to go Show Car - Race Car - Street Car
although some of the cars aspects i dont like i respect that fact that its being done in a 7thgen. I gotta see the final product, it should be crazy.

The car will be going to SEMA this year. However it will be in a Sponsors booth so there will be no interior to show off the welds.
Best date I can give you is that it will run by SEMA. (End of Oct)

I am not too far from you. I live in the Wilkes-Barre area. If you go to any local shows, I would be really interested and meeting up with you guys.
Re: 01 Civic Looking to go Show Car - Race Car - Street Car
well dru106 mentioned fastest 7thgen, not d17 or k20, so i stated the fact he(innovators) can beat mostly/majority members on this site, he didnt mentioned fastest d17 or k20, but over all in general.
