Hey, I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can find a good running d15b1 engine for my Civic. My motor burns oil and smokes, also has some other problems I would like to get it all fixed ASAP so I can have it ready for next season and possibly do a few track days this season. Thanks...

Hey, Ok time for an update, it is a big one this time this is what will be going on my website soon, look for pictures on it soon. Thanks! The NASA visited Road Atlanta this weekend and brought along their HPDE (High Performance Driving Event) series. For those of you that are not familiar...

Hey, Ok a lot has happened in the last few weeks. I finally ordered my roll cage from Kirk Racing. I have it in the car as well. I will have pics of it on my website soon. My dad also has said I can get my motor rebuilt instead of him getting me a used street car to drive to school. Racing is a...

Hey, Finally got the Civic ready to race and raced it. We drove the car from Athens to Atlanta (Turner Field). It did great! So we made it and I did my first run, it was a lot of fun. It was easy to drive, and easy to go fast in, a lot funner then a kart. My first run was slow, a 60 second...

Hey, Ok I finally have enough for a roll cage, and have more then I need so I can also buy other things. Yesterday was my b-day so I am 16 now . So I spent the weekend at Road Atlanta, I even brought my mom. The good thing now is she cant wait for me to start racing ITC, hopefully next year...

Hey, Ok time for an update. First off I have worked on the Civic every weekend it seems since Christmas. I have added new hoses, new PCV valve, new o2 sensor, cleaned up all the wires from the radio and all that, put on a new intake, and some other things including new wheels and tires. My car...

Hey, Ok, my car smokes. I got my head rebuilt a couple months back, and have put about two miles on the car since. It sat six months before the head replacement. It has all new gaskets, what could it be? Also flames shoot out the exhaust pipe, which is still only a header no full pipe yet. I am...

Just thought I should say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at IT, stay safe and dont eat too much. Have fun! Simon www.simontibbett.evaluand.com

Hey, Ok so my Solo 2 race was great. It was very fun and the car was fun to drive for a automatic four door Accord. I got ten seconds faster over the day. The car is a lot different then a kart, but not too much. You have to use the brakes a lot more and do a lot more work. Very cool, cant wait...

Hey. Ok well I am getting ready for my first ever race this weekend in a car, well almost. I will be racing Solo2 with the Atlanta region SCCA this weekend. It is not wheel to wheel but will be my first time ever in a car driving in race conditions. Sadely my Civic wont be the car as we dont...

Hey, Ok someone will sell me an Autopower roll cage for $300, yes it is bolt in but I will get it welded later by a friend. BUT I dont know how to tell if it is DOM or ERW tubing, it is smooth inside it, and thats all I know. He does not know either as he bought the car a few weeks back with...

Hey, Ok, so my car now runs and is ready to drive, which I do alot! I also was recently able to test a Formula Ford 2000 Zetec car, but it would cost me $3000. However it meant to me that not what I was testing, but I am fifteen and was still allowed to do it. This brings me to my next item, I...

Hey, Ok, in the rules is states about how you have to have the exhaust come out behind the driver, does this mean actually come out behind the driver or pointing away from the driver? I am getting a custom exhaust made and need to know how long I need piping to be and all that. Thanks! Simon

Hey, Well last night I gathered all the info that everyone gave me and added it all up. I thought about what the car was doing and stuff. If you dont know what I am talking about I installed a new head and gaskets and such and my car would not run without starter fluid in it. Anyway, so today...

Hey, Ok, this is posted twice in this and in the Honda section but thought maybe two would be better and since its a Honda.... However it does not have really any Honda tech needed. I recently got back my rebuilt head, included a valve job, new seals, and other things on my 1989 Honda Civic Std...
