BimmerIsMyName Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My friend and i are looking to enter his 1999 Honda Prelude into the Honda Challenge. List of modifications so far include: DC header, skunk2, coils kyb shocks stock, drilled n slotted fronts R1 rears SP performance, wheels motegi racing, p28 ecu w/chip and engine swap with JDM accord si-r. As of now, the car sits as such. I know we still need to put safety glass in place of the sunroof as well as a roll cage. Looking for some tips from veterans who have gone through this before that could give me some tips and direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Welcome! Before you do anything else, you'll want to read the CCR. The racecar tech requirements you're asking about are listed in section 15. http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf And you'll want to put metal in place of the sunroof if it's glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILIKETODRIVE Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Also going to want to make sure you have everything you need in regards to obtaining a Competition License for wheel-2-wheel racing with NASA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like we've missing 12-14 items to complete right now Also going to want to make sure you have everything you need in regards to obtaining a Competition License for wheel-2-wheel racing with NASA. I think the license will be applied for as we get closer to finishing the list of remaining items. Question for both of you, would our current set up (engine wise) be legal?

That question should be answered in the HC class rules which you should also read before you spend another dime or minute on the car http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/Honda-Challenge.pdf And/or you could always run it in PT with a custom base class (need dyno sheet and weight), http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/performance_touring_rules.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I think the license will be applied for as we get closer to finishing the list of remaining items. What is your experience level in terms of prior track time, existing licenses, etc? The reason I ask is because if you don't have the minimum prior training yet, you'll be spending some time on track in the HPDE program before you go racing, which doesn't require all the safety stuff that racing does. (It's a great idea of course, but not required. You can do HPDE in pretty much any car that passes tech, even a bone stock street car. It's all listed in the CCR that I linked in my first post.) So... you may theoretically be able to shorten your list and get on track having fun with the car sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
