Forums Forums StuyMac: Honda Civic VTi - SiR Race car.

he cnt because of the race class he is entering

Here you go stuy, a little gift for you!

http://www.vtecdirect.com/online/cat--EG6-Civic--EG6.html

The Class, and series specifies all OEM glass must be used. We also run a 10% weight limit. You can run 10% lighter than the listed kerb weight, any lighter than that and its a waste of time as you will have to carry ballast to get the weight up.

eg, if the car was 1000kgs std, the lightest you could run would be 900kgs...

Its not as drastic as you may think either, the interior isnt that heavy, the cage is heavier than the seats, so although its stripped, you probably gain weight with the addition of the cage. Everything else is trying to save lots of small areas of weight - TBH I think Ill struggle to get it 10% lighter than std without the use of plastics and GRP pannels which are also disallowed.

Toyo 888's are the control tyre - Medium compound as the softs are not allowed.

Right, more bits - hopfully these will all be fitted next week, just waiting for the brake fluid to get here as I need some high temp, synthetic stuff

New Bottom arms, link arms and braided lines:



New front wings:



..and new GAZ Coilovers:



I also received my BARC membership today, and the CTCRC membership is in the post - when this comes back with my membership card, I should get the door stickers and my race number

You fitting all these yourself?

You got new bushes for the arms?

Yeah, Ill be fitting it all but Im going to do it all at my mates garage where I can get the car up on a ramp as its easier to bleed all the brakes and you dont need to swap sides with the jack.

All bushes are with the arms, and at the garage he has a press for the lower ball joints

coming along nice, must say money doesnt seem to be an object with you as they cant be good value coming from tweeks lol. Why do you need new wings????

The originals have started to rust a little on the arches where crap has collected under the lip, so I bought some new ones to tidy it up, and had them painted.

Money no object?!?!?!

If I detail everything Ive spent already, I shock myself ... and thats before Ive paid any entry fees!

Something I always do when I get a car is scrub where the mud collects on the inner lip and run some grease around there. The mud hold moisture causing it to rust inside out. I work on wrexham ind est so if you ever need parts collecting from their just let us know. You can pay over phone etc did this for corsa john a while ago.

Good tip that, never knew that.

Stuy's just a rich bitch lol

Cheers for the offer Ryhs, that could save me a fortune.

....not in fuel, but what I spend there, everytime I go I aways end up coming back with more than I went for

Ive also been doing that to the lips on the arches for years, unfortunatly though, you cant take in to account if the previous owner has also gone to the trouble of doing it

New coilovers got fitted yesterday, and what a difference its made using the right weight springs!!!

I fitted them with a similar setup to the old ones, and after a few road tests, got them adjusted to a setup Im feeling very happy with. The rear needed dropping a lot more than the old setup and now the car drives with a bias towards understeer

I still need to play round with the bump and rebound settings as the front is still dipping quite suddenly under braking and letting the rear wander a little. Im now at the stage however where testing on the road isnt enough, and it needs track time.

Ive also fitted the new front wings, but its the wrong agle to see them in the pic lol

Old setup:



New Setup:

jesus stu,

Looking good stu when you booking a trackday then???
