Andrew from "Streetracer" has started a new Civic Cup series at our local Track and it kicks off this March!
As soon as I heard about it I knew that I had to get involved, after enjoying modifying my old DC2 and EK9 and doing a few trackdays this is something that I have always wanted to be a part of
So I set about looking for a good base for a racecar. The rules state that for now, all cars must me ek4 vti with standard engine and diff. This car came up from a local guy on a forum and it ticked all the boxes for me and was a great price
Here are the pics from the old owners house:
The car drove very well with 95k on the clocks. It was standard apart from lowering springs, few strut bars and just a back box which the previous owner added. The car is also on the original clutch as far as I can tell
Plans are to fully strip the car, full roll cage, tighten up the suspension with a few new bushes and arms etc. Coilovers, 2 fixed seats, harnesses, extinguisher and all of the other safety equipment required to race
I have started to strip the car
I'm waiting on Timing belt kit,waterpump, MTF, rocker gaskets from Simauto so I spent a bit of today stripping everything out of the way to remove the belt
Fitted a new stat as I noticed the temp was dropping down when cruising. Also drained all the coolant from the block ready for the waterpump
Ricky "eternalblue2000" supplied me with a few nice parts, magnetic sump and box plugs, rear wiper delete and some gear to help remove all of the sound deadening (have to tackle this soon)
I have a buddyclub sunroof delete to fit and hoping to get a few other parts that I need from Shaun
