    Any 24 Hours of LeMons Racers Here?

    In a later video we added some stuff to the "center console" with duct tape and it said "you are enough to get angry" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE6btiWyt5U?start=7m30s My friend Mike was driving the Piñata, I was in the Tape-R. That was a crazy race. Full 24 hour race and we didn't...

    What spring rates? I'm at 450f/650r with a stock bar up front and 22mm bar out back. Front is probably 100# too soft for autoXing on race tires, but it's dead-on for road courses.

    Any 24 Hours of LeMons Racers Here?

    Here is a good article from the Jalopnik archives > The 24 Hours Of LeMons N00b's Race Car Selection Guide E30's, Miatas, and Hondas are probably the most prevalent. The SHO Taurus made a decent showing a couple years ago. BMW 3-series, both E30 and E36. These won't be popular with...

    Nah, you'd be surprised how much grip these chassis can generate.

    You could always do an arrive and drive for an established team. :) Performance cars don't really fall within the scope of LeMons. That's why the Miata and the E30 are hated so much. There are different classes. Class A, B, C. Also the coveted Index of Effluency (IOE) award for the car/team...

    $500 is the budget for the car. Performance and the car running falls under the budget. Safety items (roll cage, seat, steering wheel, radios, fire extinguisher, etc) are not a part of that budget. Wheels, Tires (>190TW), brakes, header back exhaust, wheel bearings, etc are free. Yes, that...

    Any 24 Hours of LeMons Racers Here?

    I got started the end of 2011 and raced 4 races in 2012. Great racing and the participants are a solid group of car enthusiasts. ...they don't like Hondas, BMWs, and Miatas very much though. :rimshot: So, my friends and I built a Miata and a ED9 Hatch. :) Close up of the CTR...

    If it is SCCA, should be 10 years. SA2005 and SA2010, along with M2005 and M2010 should still be legal. OP, you should set your sites a little higher than the guy in the vid you posted. :) Moving of hands can't be helped in some situations. The steering box in Kiesel's Sprite is quite short...

    EE9 civic with b16b swap

    Thanks for the suggestion...I resolved the issue by making a relief cut in the ribbing where it was contacting the valve cover. The car, when it had a B16A2 w/ HAsport mounts in it, had the stock hood with no issues. I believe the Innovative mounts place the engine a little higher in the bay...

    EE9 civic with b16b swap

    I'm even having clearance issues with my setup: Innovative mounts and a VIS USDM SiR hood. I had to trim part of the ribbing to clear the front driver's side corner of the valve cover. Also, I'm getting very minor interference with the hood and the top distributor mount. It's just enough to...

    EE9 civic with b16b swap

    A B16A and B16B are not the same engine. The B16B uses the B18C block, which is 7mm taller than a B16A block. The B16B also has higher compression and teflon coated pistons, along with a factory P&P, and different cams and valves. The throttle body and header are the same on the B16A and...
