The front dust cap doesn't allow for the front center cap to be installed so I painted the dust cap silver to minimize the clash.

 

I ran into the same problem with some of my wheels. There is room to shorten the dust cap and make room for the center cap. I was able to take 1/4" of length out of mine by cutting them shorter and tig welding on a disc of 20ga. mild steel.

The wheels look great, good choice!

Civics are pleanty capable. NASA runs an entire series (Honda Challenge) of Front Drive Honda's that are pretty quick. There was a local Honda Challenge car at one of my track days last year that was stupid quick.

Yes sir, they are no slouch. The Pakistan Express Civic that runs in NASA PTE will lap Mid Ohio's pro course in just over 1:40 with only 125hp. We have seen spikes of 1.7Gs entering thunder valley.

I think the convertable FC wheels were BBS'.

Correct but they are only 15" x 6.5"

Berto, You've seen the BBS's on my black FC, imagine those but in 17" sizes and a different color.

Are you ever out at scca events?

 

I think I seen some older posts of yours on v8rx7 forum the other day back in 2002 or 01.

 

Ive only seen your car once 3or 4 years ago thing is awsome.

I haven't been to any SCCA races except as a spectator, I run with NASA instead.

I'm still on v8rx7 but I don't post often there, or anywhere for that matter.

Thanks, glad you like it, want to buy it?

For the SB2 RX7, more cam, compression, tire, and brakes.

Finish building the new Pakistan Express NASA PTE Civic so I can race the current car.

Build another 3800 V6 RX7 for NASA PTD.

I need a very long winter.

My mom works up there. Does something in the office, dunno what. Kathie is her name. Know her by any chance Matt? I know Al S. (can't remem his last name right now), did some jobs for him/you guys when I was doing concrete work

I don't think I know your mom, she may know of me though. Ask her if she knows Dart.

Al Soma or "Big Al" is probably who you have worked with. His uncle Jack also works there and Jack's son in law Corey works with me in the shop.

What does Speer Mechanical do? I see there truck often.

 

We are one of the larger mechanical contractors in Ohio. HVAC, plumbing, piping, and service. The trucks you see all over the place are most likely our service techs.

Who do you work for? Not welding anymore?

I still have the same gig at Speer Mechanical. We sell, install, and service some of your units.

As far as job security, I'm not worried. There is only a small handful of people that can do what I do.

Mine is secure, unless tons of huge places can go without heat/ac.

 

lulz

So, you must work for one of our competitors, who might that be?

Nothing wrong with the 1/8

This thread is for real drivers, please leave.

I'm looking forward to having another track close by. And more good news, NASA is considering it for their 2009 schedule.

Is someone still crying over their keyboard?

BTW, thanks for getting my good side.

So what did you want to start back up? A conversation concerning your ignorance or did you just want to bitch and moan some more like a little school girl?

Also, if I make the power I want, I'd like a rematch with a certain '600' for comparison.

You consider a 600 competition? :gay:

Hartford fairgrounds near Croton. I believe my dad was paying $125 for a season on a 28' boat.

Where else can you see such a wide variety of cars in one race?

Bring me some cookies Dave.

Anyone ever dealt with a trans with this type of setup. I am wondering if there is anyway it can be streetable. I found a good deal on a Liberty Racing built T5 made into a sequential straight cut gear 4 speed. it says launch with a clutch and shift without one. Now what if I wanted to drive down high street through campus with this trans. How would that work?

By far the best way to go while on a track but they are not much fun on the street. I would not consider one for something you plan to cruise around in.
