Hi, how is the club racing scene going? I am still living in Japan, working. I have not been racing officially, but I have entered a couple of time trials at some of the local tracks. I recieve the Wheel and Sports Car via my PO Box and I have been keeping up with current SFR news. I hope the...

I was a backmarker, I am on a racing sebaticle so I guess I could be called a never was. Roaming the Formula One internet world I found this: http://f1rejects.com/drivers/index.html A site that rips apart some of the drivers who were able to pay their way into F1 but did not have the talent.

The other day at the local park, I had a conversation with a man (prob late 40's) about motorsports. Our conversation a one point he was telling me about F1 drivers of the 50's were sometimes crossover alpine skiers. He had mentoned that alpine skiers had quick hand eye coordination, and...

I would like to wish IT.com and all of the great people who visit. Some of you may remember that I was a w2w club racer. Just recently I moved to Japan for work. I wish everyone the best in this new year. I have been snapping digital photos of many of the places that I have been to. Below...

Being far from home, club racing and my welder, I usually follow the dailys for CART and F1 to fill my need for speed. In short form, CART's merger looks to be down and out. (www.cart.com for more details) Now I wonder, how does this affect the US world of open wheel racing and road course...

Oops bad spelling should read brake "ducting" anyway, for the CRX guys... If anyone has some pics of how they ran their brake duction, I would appreciate it if you could post a link or send me some pics. I am working on my brake ducting and I am not sure how to do it. BTW, I don't have a CRX...

As my saga continues... I now have the proper replacement wheel stud. My issue now is removing the wheel hub. Can someone tell me how to do it? I have removed the spindle nut. I have gotten as far as removing the brakes and rotor and I can see the hub. My next guess is to use a special tool...

Are Honda wheel studs the same? I cross threaded a wheel stud. So can I order any wheel stud for any given Honda? Or are Civics different from CRXs and Integras? Greg

A particular question for the CRX owners that might have rear shoes. I would like to know which brake shoes do you use? Second question, any problems with long pedal and your brake shoe choice? Greg ------------------
