What size and brand falkens are you lookin for. I can probably get you a set. I just ordered an azenis 225/40/18 for a guy up in Jax.

so no more aw11?

LOUMO · Because HOMO was taken

no not right now i have way to much time and money invested in this car to make it to sebring.....Also i am not getting anymore left off projects

turbocivic · Civic

tires are on the way

Viet · POOP Bum

where did you get them?

turbocivic · Civic

that vulcantire place, oh and they're comin with tire totes

LOUMO · Because HOMO was taken

WOWOWOWOOWOWOO TIRE TOTES AHAHAHA best news all day seeing as how i got my car impunded and 3 tickets....LONG STORY

Got the car back and i am all good now

A4seen Racer · VP

and you got a sweet plate that matches your car

LOUMO · Because HOMO was taken

Ok so Did sebring and really cant think of anything major that i might need besides the obvious, tranny/roll bar/harnesses/konis struts.

In two weeks i am scheduled to get the roll bar welded in(ITA style from the main hoop back) for only 350!!!!!!! Also if i need to add to it i can.

Now here is the questions do i keep the CRX and do more track days and turn it into a honda challenge car or do i sell it to buy a spec neon(or that type of car). Any input would be great.

OOO and post up SFI rated belts please.

LOUMO · Because HOMO was taken

Sick photo of one of the honda challenge cars.

this is a car that is in my class if i do the honda challenge....B18C5(type r motor)

A4seen Racer · VP

spec neon would be more promising/competitive. Honda challange would be more fun especially for your spectators.

Viet · POOP Bum

honda challenge all the way. neons aren't cool to daily drive nor is a honda, but its more acceptable.

LOUMO · Because HOMO was taken

well this would not be a daily driver, if i go this route i would be getting a truck and trailer.

Now the other option is continue with doing track days in the CRX and getting a BONE STOCK civic hatch or crx and have that as a daily. That would mean getting the-
Roll Bar
konis eventually
and new tranny

OOO and plenty of time to learn how to better myself as a driver.

majorposer · howling machine of destruction

i vote for the later since it agree's with my path also. but ii think what your looking for is instant gratification. if you just want to become a race car driver and then move on, then buy the race car. but if you want to actually better yourself as a driver (which could become valuable later in life) then i would keep the current car. i know that i want to do this for a long time, and i want to make sure that i am going to do it right and take my time.

Well after your performance yesterday at the go-kart track, you arent ready for road racing yet. I had your car dialed in perfect. We had a fresh set of scuffs mounted up and we went through all the training. And what did you do, you blew it. You couldnt handle the pressure from the 10 year old competition. All that track time in training wasted because you couldnt pass a 10 year old kid. Very sloppy driving out there. You not only let yourself down, you let the whole team down. Very disappointing.

Scuffs!!!!!!!man that cart had bad tires on it. I wasnt the one who stole free rides all day....

Yeah I am pretty sure i am gonna go with the last plan and just take my time with this. Few more track days and ill see how i do. So next step is to find a great deal on a cheap car.
