OHIO4DRTEG Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I did the Acura legend and mini Cooper rotor upgrade and they work great but I have rear disk so my bias is a little different plus my car is turbo d so I needed a little more brakes for coming of the straights into the corners.

Calif_Kid Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 audiobuffru12 - nice job on the car. One thing - that new rear sway bar might shift to one side enough to start the end links to start binding. There are a few posts in the 'Road Racing/Autocross & Time Attack' forum in Honda-Tech with the most recent being http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2973359 and the older post (mine) being http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2673153. Some bars come with built in collars to prevent the shift, or you can add on a split collar which is what I did. You might also want to install greasable D-bracket bushings - Amazon has Energy suspension greasable bushings for pretty cheap. Anyway, read thru the posts for details. - Jim (Calif_Kid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobuffru12 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hey Jim, Thanks for the tips , had swapped out for greasable in front and rear sway bar , I'm Freak when it comes to parts that have to have movement they move with ease, I bought enough grease from Suspension Energy to last several years (hehehe) Yeah putting together a list for my fastenal rep on the collars , You guys have great threads at Honda Tech forum, and over at HPD Great support to . Thanks for comment on my crx it has been a great learning experieance for me and my son building a road race/cone cornering type car . Building on buget is our trick but adding advice from others with the experience that we don't have ,has been a bleesing to us, we track daze this car when ever we make changes to get the feel for . Keep advise coming ,we will keep building ..................next step is fine tuning and Cage . Cages have been my problem Kirk ,Auto power, or custom built .

OHIO4DRTEG Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Cages are an animals among them selves, everyone has their own justified opinion on what is the best cage. I prefer custom built because a good builder will build it to fit your car exactly. You will spend a little more on custom cage but how much is your safety worth. I had mine done here in Columbus, Ohio by Moore Speed Performance (614-563-3837 or [email protected]). I know about 50 or so welders, myself included and he is one of 3 people I trust my life with on welding, the other two are me and my Dad. Now this all said if you go with a prefab Auto power or Kirk seam to make a good products from what I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobuffru12 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah been looking at Kirk cages 900 shipped ,and built the way i want it, Autopower was lil cheaper ,and custom I still need to get quotes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHIO4DRTEG Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah been looking at Kirk cages 900 shipped ,and built the way i want it, Autopower was lil cheaper ,and custom I still need to get quotes on. I got my cage done for around 2 grand. That includes Nascar door bars on both driver and passager side and going thru fire wall to tie into front sub frame for cage support and halo bars. (FYI, all he has done so far is the back half I am dropping the car off next week to finish it, we did it this way so I could still run it at two events this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integrao Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Saw this build before RA, and then recognized the car during HPDE1. What kind of tires are you running? I would recommend an upgrade to atleast Dunlop Star specs, all the upgrades in the world won't help with some solid rubber underneath you. Nice pics, where did you find them? I was in the black intergra with black wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calif_Kid Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I had a shifter break while on track - the shifter was a short shifter that we had added a short (say 2") extension to, with the break being on the base of the threads. Your shifter/extender might work out just fine, but I suggest maybe bringing along a spare shifter just in case yours breaks. - Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
