Yer doing too much cosmetic work on a civic IMHO :-/

 

Not sure on if it would be a problem posting ther stuff, but I doubt putting up pictures and stuff from it shouldn't be a proble. RonJ puts a lot up off of Isis on here ahd HT I've seen, so if I'm not releasing the whole database to everyone it shouldn't be a problem.

Have you looked in to the measurements or what? I was thinking of cutting out the bottom radiator support to drop radiator down like 2 inches, enough to have it under the upper support. Then have the rad cap poke through the top. I wanted to do an aluminum rad for better cooling since I'm going to autox it.

 

I don't think you will ever overheat a civic when autocrossing. Have you even considered what class you will end up in? If anything you will always be uncompetitive in that car in whatever class it ends up.

 

Well I'm not going to overheat it I don't think since a stock rad will even hold up fine. And you don't need to have an insanely fast car to do well, the tracks aren't huge. As for class I've bdeen talking to our service writer who has won nationals a few times and he told me the class, just don't remember. I'll eventually boost but until then I'd run in a stock class since all my mods will be suspension. But I'm not planning on being super competitive and winning and stuff, just going to do it to try it out and do something different.

 

the h22 swap in a civic is not good idea for auto cross. you better do some real good reinforcements

 

H swap in a civic is fine with good motor mounts. By if you look like 4 page back I sold my h swap. The title of my thread never got changed, I should have hobo or someone change it.

 

No measurements off hand, but I am sure they are listed somewhere. We are eventually going to come out with one at Mishi, but not sure when. We recently received a sample and I'm not sure what has happened with it afterwards.

For the radiator cap, why not one of those inline radiator caps? That is what I was planning on doing.

 

I'll look in to it, tucked radiator definitely makes a difference. And there's not many cars around here that have done a full tuck and everything like I plan on doing, so I want to do as much as I can and go the extra mile.

Here's a famous car from around here, fully built and boosted, making over 500 whp and shaved and tucked amazingly.


And here's a vid of him racing, sounds like gun shots when it backfires and you can just feel it in your chest.

Got a welder for xmas

Nothing fancy, just a 120v flux core from good ol' Harbor Freight. I'm not expecting amazing performance, and it defintely doesn't need to do an amazing job. All I need for it to do is make a puddle to fill the holes and tack weld stuff in... and I need to use it to fix my bed. One of the metal legs on the bed fram bent completely sideways so the bed was slammed in one corner, long story. But it'll get the job done, nice and small and light weight ftw!

 

Dam nice present lol.
I've always wanted a welder just to have.
and to do my exhaust lol.

you should do a review on it, and let me know how it works?
