Xian Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 This car was built with SCCA's ITA class in mind but some of you may be familiar with the build or have seen it at the 2009 ARRC. It's an amazingly clean one off example of this chassis. Build prep includes a complete tear down to the chassis, all sound deadening and undercoating removed, "body in white" prep, electric system stripped of any wiring that can be legally removed, and then subsequent reassembly. It was recently classed in ITA at the same weight as the 89-91 Civic Si Hatch and 88-91 CRX Si. It has the hatch's more drivable wheelbase so it is easy to drive fast and extremely forgiving. It has the larger "Integra" sized front brakes (only available on the EX) so it doesn't suffer from the same front end wear and tear problems that plague the hatch and CRX. This car is classed currently in H4 car along with the CRX and Civic hatch. I've run the math and spoken with some of the regional and national folks in PT and this car will end up on PTE pretty much maxed out in points but running on Hoosiers. The build was primarily focused on a longer Enduro car while still remaining competitive in regional sprints. After having taken almost 2 years off during the build, I've had it out for two weekends and have been nothing but thrilled with it's performance. Most recently at the ARRC Enduro the car was running in a solid 2nd place until we ran out of fuel less than 2 laps from the finish (completely my error judging the fuel burn rate, still finished 4th). In the hands of the right driver, I believe that this could be in the top-5 car in the ARRC Sprint/NASA Nationals. Vehicle Details 90/91 Civic EX Sedan w/ SCCA logbook RARE non-ABS and non-Sunroof car Competition Cages custom 8 point roll cage (built to NASA/SCCA specs) All moulding and trim removed.

My loss, your gain and all that. I have a stack of reciepts that you wouldn't believe for this thing and more parts that I realized. This is damn near a 10/10th's build. The oil pan gasket and/or front main seal on the engine weeps very slightly. Everything else is in great shape. After the ARRC, the car has been washed, cleaned, and put on jack stands in the garage. I've gone through the car and nut and bolted it, inspected the brakes, adjusted the rear drums, bled the brakes, put on new front rotors, changed the oil, etc. It's 100% track ready at this point. I also have factory manuals for the CRX Si, setup notes from the CRX that I used to have, setup notes for the Civic, and a couple Robic stop watches (they need batteries). I'd really like to sell my truck but want the car gone first. Also, I could stand to have my garage back so we have a place to park the mini-van during the summer heat. I have both a bill of sale and the title available for the Civic. If you wanted to, this could even be registered and street driven. Price is $9,500 OBO I have additional spare wheels/tires, parts, and a trailer available if anyone is interested in them. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
