Topics I've Started

Dmod Project

27 January 2020 - 08:41 PM

What can I say I love my little CRX, and at first it was supposed to be a prepared build but I may have overstepped a few rules so legally my car is a DM car, instead of going backwards and trying to repair the car to a state of XP or EP I am going forward with a bad ass DM CRX. 

 

About this project,

 

This will not be a ground up build instead I will only be doing modifications or changes that can be accomplished between races, I will only start updates/projects after I have acquired all the supplies and/or parts required.  I plan to attend every local event this year and possibly some pro-solo events.

 

Okay for now I will be a FWD with a sub 1.8l motor and a "stock TUB". Minimum weight for this class/configuration is 1245LBS with Driver, I weigh 190, So we are looking to get the CRX down to 1055LBS.

The good news is that for XP the car weight was supposed to be 1440lbs, and my car currently weights 1230.5 with out driver or a front bumper, but with 14"wheels and street tires that are 4.6lbs more weight than my 13" race wheels/tires. 

 

Also bad news is that 1230.5 is without ballast... and without ballast my car corner weights without driver are as follows: 

 

FL-416.1  FR-418.2

RL-195.1 RR-201.1

You can do the math on that F/R weight ratio, its poor. 

 

For XP I was planning to ballast the car up... but I never did, and I drove it for 3 events pretty much like that it was extremely loosley goosey in the back.
