I have been practicing with this group on GT5. Tons of fun and really close racing just like the real spec Miata. I am not available on Sunday nights to race in their series, but am having fun practicing with them every night after 9 pm. http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=139251...

Anyone seen an entry list yet? I am planning to attend for SM and ITA.

What radiator options do I have for ITC racing? The radiator that came with my car looks to have been re-cored with more cores than stock. It has a couple of leaks and I'm trying to decide whether to repair or buy new. The radiator from my parts car looks to be about 1/3 more narrow than the...

Bent one by running a little too close to a fellow competitor. Anyone have a spare steering rack for sale for an 84-87 Honda Civic. Manual, not power steering. I think the CRX is the same part?

My stock panhard mount to the chassis is bent up and looks pretty weak. It looks like it has been whacked a few times and I gave it a little bend myself by brushing the wall. I am thinking of doing the mount like this photo from Improved Touring...

Any suggestions for a starting point on ignition timing for road course racing? The motor is a fresh rebuild that has been bored to .40 over. Follow the Honda manual or are there advantages to going with higher ignition timings?

I'd like to get a set of Poly or Energy type engine mounts for my 86 Civic ITC car. Noone seems to make a set for anything older than 1988. Any sources for stiffer motor mounts? Thanks MCH

Anyone know if the engine block and crank from the 86-87 Civic DX and Civic Si are identical? I currently have one of each torn down and can't see any real difference. The Honda manuals list 4 part numbers, but all start with GW- (I think). Just want to make sure I'm legal for ITC.

I am looking for a Mugen, Quaife or other similar LSD for a 1986 Honda Civic for use in ITC club racing. King Motorsports seems to only handle 1988 and newer. Having the same luck looking for a Quife. Any other places I should be looking? Also looking for a heavier that stock front sway bar...

The ITC Honda Civic that I purchased came with a set of Tokico adjustable gas shocks. I can tell that there are 5 adjustment choices, but I'm not sure which is stiffest and which is lightest. I think this is a fairly old set because there are no numbers or markings for the adjustments, like...

I have heard bad things about running synthentic trans fluid in the Honda trans. This goes against all logic, but I hear that synthetics like Red Line are too slick and tend to leave many bent 3rd gear shift forks. I have a 1986 Honda Civic ITC with an SI trans. Any thought or experience with...
