New to these forums but seems like a group of knowledgable honda enthusaists so I want to see what you guys would think.
We got a 90 Civic HB which we are going to turn into a Drag only car. I was thinking to do somethign a ltitle different though. IN what way you ask? Look at all of the Drag only cars out there, built to shit, driven on the trailer and back off down thr strip then taken back home, optimized for the best power out there with the bext technology/displacement.
Ofcourse I want the most power but I was thinking of doing somethign a little less common. Supercharged D Series, obveously would be built, that isn't a question, but block woudl remain relatively stock *possibly bored depending on the condition* would be supercharged with either a Jackson kit or a Custom kit *would have to look into a seperate supercharger but they are out there*. and maybe on the juice aswell.
Fully stripped with seats guages and shifter. MB Products is going to be supplying the one piece Fiberglass front end with relatively stock mounting points but that won't matter, will take some weight off the front end.
As the car sits right now, no front bumper brackets or mounts, dead engine, half stripped intertior, ready to start work on this winter which we will be doing.
I was wodnering if you guys think I am completely crazy or if you think it is a cool concept?
I'm more of a muscle guy but all my buddies are import guys, they just aren't that quick right now so I want to build something up to show them it can be done and do somethign of my own to progress my abilities.
I was thinking about how many supercharged D series are out there pulling good numbers on the quarter and I coudln't find many so I think it will be a fun build up.
Now... Why the D series? Because it seems NO one wants them these days, they are all into the B series and beyond, so there are tons of blocks, dirt dirt cheap *free* and if you ruin one it isn't an issue picking up another and fixing your mistakes. Another reason, not many supercharged D series out around and kicking. Third, the Car is free, the engine is free, the labour will mostly be free *myself and a buddy*, its only the parts, and as I work at a Motorsports shop and have hookups around town I can get them discounted aswell.
Let me know what you guys think, and if you just plan on bashing, please leave, constructive critisim only!
