Not Telling
Well, here it is folks, for your viewing and critique: The entire Saturday race 4 from the Jim Stark Double at Roebling Road this past Saturday. The Yellow VW Golf is David Leira, last year's SARRC ITB Champ. I qualified 2nd out of 10 ITB cars and set the fastest ITB race lap on lap 4 with a 1:28.3XX. The CRX was running great, just a little loose!
Enjoy!

Here's video from the Sunday race that didn't go se well..... I qualified 3rd and took the lead on lap 1, only to blow it on lap 2 and wind up on top of the sand berm outside of turns 1 and 2! Thankfully the car is OK, and getting ready for VIR next month...

Race Suspensions For Sale
17 December 2005 - 05:38 PM
Alright guys, I'm putting this stuff out there for you guys to take first shot at it all, if I don't sell it by the middle of next week I'm going to ebay it. All of this is either stuff I pulled off the race car I'm redoing or off the parts car I bought. I don't need any of it for my race car, and don't want to keep any of it.
ALL OF THIS STUFF IS USED, so it is a little dirty, and in the case of 1 set of the Tokikos I have ZERO knowledge of their condition, so I can make NO GUARANTEES - what you see (when I post pics) is what you get.
I want to sell ALL OF THIS AS A PACKAGE - I don't want to sell some of it and then be left with the rest of it to try to get rid of. Don't ask me just for this or just for that. If there's something you don't need, buy it all and resell what you don't want. It's all in one big box now and that's how it will leave my garage!
Torsion bars - appear to be 24.5mm or 25mm bars, fit CRX/Civic. Brand unknown, in excellent condition.
Tokiko Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks - 2 sets fronts, 2 sets rears. 1 set of fronts and 1 set of rears I know are in good functioning condition as they came off the race car and are in good shape. The other set seems to be a little soft, but rebound well, and have relatively smooth operation, just softer than the first set. I know nothing about Tokikos, so maybe someone who knows about them will recognize if these are OK or not. At the very least they should be rebuildable as they are not damaged.
The set that came off the race car have been modified slightly in the front - the brake line bracket was removed so that they could fit further down in the steering knuckle in order to get more travel in the front with the front lowered. The rears have a coil-over set-up that consists of and aluminum sleeve and lower spring seat, and a fabricated steel upper seat. They include 300lb linear race springs, brand unknown.
The other set, condition unknown, consists of 2 fronts that are unmodified, and two rears that have coil-over set-ups on them as well. These coil overs have an aluminum sleeve, lower seat, and a machined aluminum upper seat, and include a set of Eibach race springs, 0700.250.0300 (7" long, 2.5" inner diameter, 300 lbs).
Also included is a 3rd set of rear race springs, also Eibach, but 0800.225.0350.
3/4" rear sway bar, brand unknown but I believe it is an OPM bar. No hardware, just the bar, you'll need the end links and brackets.
I'd like to get $300 + shipping for it all, minimum. I know what this stuff is worth new, and just the t-bars and the 2 sets of Eibach springs alone would cost you more than that. Look at like you're getting 2 sets of free shocks, coil over conversions, 1 set of springs, sway bar, etc for free.

An Old 1g Crx Racecar Slowly Being Reborn
29 November 2005 - 04:00 PM
As a few here know I picked up a '87 CRX Si racecar a few months back, with the intentions of bringing it up to current spec for SCCA ITB and NASA HC H5 competition. This car and I ironically both stopped racing SCCA nearly the same time, about 4 years ago, with the car having sat idle until last year when the previous owner bought the car, brought it out of storage, and ran some PCA events in Texas. Myself, I've not really set idle for 4 years as I quit my job, relocated, started a business, had a second child (well not me, but my wife did- my son James, aka big Jimbo), started a second business, and now have decided the time is right to return to racing. Because I have so much, like, time on my hands. 
This little thread is meant to share with you 1g CRX and 3g Civic lovers the process of bringing this car back to the front of the grid, as I throw lots of money at it and spend a lot of time working on it when I otherwise should be working on making more money... to throw at it.
The good thing about this car is it already had when I bought it all the good mechanical bits it needs in order to be "fully prepared" - very fresh OPM engine only a couple races old, Mugen LSD, Housemann 4.93 FD, the works. Just the new purchase price of those 3 items alone is over half of what I paid for the car, and it came with a trailer. Remaining mods/improvements, some still to be done, are 29mm t-bars, Koni double adjustable dampers all 4 corners, 600 lb rear springs, new brakes up front, and a complete cosmetic makeover inside and out. She'll end up sporting the same paint job as my old '86 Integra that I won the '02 H5 championship with ...
But enough about that Integra, now for the CRX....
To start things off I have to tell a little about the car's history before I bought it. The car was built from best of my knowledge in 1992 to race in ITA. At that time it had just become elidgable for SCCA IT competition having just turned 5 years old. I don't know who built the car, and the driver's name in the logbook is difficult to make out but it appears to be " P Cherley" who drove it in the "Turkey Trot" even held by the Central Florida Region SCCA on 11/28/92.
After that it wound up in the hands of a Mr. Fred Brett who took it to the Sebring drivers school in July 1993, and then continued to race the car through Sept of 1996, finishing the year with the ARRC at Road Atlanta. Here are a couple of pictures from that early period, courtesy of the 1st logbook....
