    Learn me some limited slip...

    As a disclaimer, this is mostly bench race learning as I don't have the money to put one in my car right now anyway, surprising how much having a baby costs..., but just in case my money tree takes root I'd like to be able to make an educated decision. So just how much time am I leaving on the...

    1st gen race seat mounting

    Anyone care to share how they've mounted their seat in their 1st gen Hondas? I currently have my race seat brackets bolted to two small bars welded to the sill and tunnel, but the more I look at it the less I like it. The metal in the floor/tunnel of my car is flimsy at best and I think I'd...

    Pedal assemblies/boxes

    OK, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but figured I'd ask for clarification/opinions just in case - so don't flame me for asking... Are aftermarket pedal boxes (e.g., Tilton) legal in IT? The language I found in the GCR is: "modifications may be made to the foot pedals to improve the comfort...

    Rally Team for Dreams

    OK, I know this isn't necessarily IT related, but I'm an IT racer - so hopefully that's all the connection I need. :shrug: As some of you may know, along with racing in IT, I co-drive in rally. Andrew Frick and I have been racing together in stage rallies in the US and Canada - with CARS, NASA...

    Big crash during T1 Runoffs start

    Yes, I realize this is an IT site but our friend Aaron Quinne, Kumho Tire guy at most of our area regionals, got caught up in the big crash during the T1 race this morning. He was out of the car and talking to the safety personnel but then they put him on a stretcher. Hopefully it's just a...

    IT Fest - Whoo Hoo!

    Unfortunately there seemed to be plenty of drama in the Group 2 races this weekend, but for us in ITC/Group 4 there was plenty of awesome racing. This weekend was by far the most fun I've had racing. For those that enjoy pics of potential injuries caused by garage shenanigans... Jim's tranny...

    Who sells take offs?

    Where's the best place to get decent used race tires? Preferably something like a 215/50R13 Kumho 710 or similar.

    CRX fenders, header panel, front bumper, corner lights

    If anyone has a stash of '84-'87 CRX front fenders and header panels, a front bumper, and front corner lights from a '86-87 CRX laying around collecting dust...I'd be more than willing to take them off your hands for a nominal fee. :023:

    Tool suggestions?

    Last season was my first season and I trudged my way through well enough, though I did spend way more than my budget. Probably due to the fact that I hadn't really set one...learned my lesson there. However we are expecting our first child this year and so I need to ensure that my now limited...

    Dedicated race vs street wheels

    OK, I need me some wheel learnin'.... I currently have two sets of steel rims that have been beat to heck and back and one set of no-name aluminum rims. At the end of last season I began thinking about picking up a set (6 rims, actually) of Panasports because, well, I dunno I guess just because...

    Nelson Ledges Double Driving School

    Anyone going? My car passed annual a few weeks ago and we should be buttoning up all the loose ends (minus paint) in time this week to do the school this weekend. Just curious if anyone was going up for the school or if I'll have the track to myself. Anyone going up Friday for the PDX?

    Help - weird CRX fuel leak

    OK, so I took the car out this past Saturday for the first time and ran a track day at Putnam. The car was fine (driver needs work, especially in the rain...) however tonight I received a phone call from my friend, the car is currently in his garage awaiting its annual tech this weekend, who's...

    Wiring question

    I've searched on here and didn't find what I would consider a definitive answer. I'm currently addressing the wiring mess that is my car and trying to draw up a game plan to better wire the car. The GCR states: "Wires and connectors in the engine wiring harness may be modified or replaced." So...

    84-87 CRX Factory service manual

    I have an '85 CRX and need the factory manual. Anyone have one they'd be willing to part with, or know where to get one? I've found pdfs of most of it, but I'd really like the have a tangible manual to be able to hold in my hand and throw across the garage. Otherwise I'll have to resort to...

    New to Hondas. road racing, and IT

    I just bought my first track car, and first Honda - an ITC '85 CRX. Since this is my first Honda I don't really know all the best Honda specific forums and would appreciate it if someone could share them. Also, where is the best place to find body panels, namely all the brittle plastic on the...

    New to road racing, and thus IT

    I've been a lurking around here for awhile and now that I finally have my first car I figured I'd say hi. I live in Columbus, OH and have been wanting to race for as long as I can remember but put myself through college, got married, and bought a house instead. Finally I said enough with all...
