lol, probably, either way sure the car will be quick with them having better gearing via Jeff's advice and products.

4 Integra's.... 3 DC2's and a DC5 (still a bit of a maybe)
8 Civics... Most with B power but at least 2 should have K's on board.
It's going to be "formula Honda"

Hectic line up. Will be good to see the K series cars go against the B series cars.

Indeed! Aren't you a little keen to join them at all?

Gee that seems to be a bit of a dramatic turn around for 3J in NSW....

Thought it was tough getting 12 U2L cars on the grid let alone 12 hondas.....

Can you use spherical bearings in this class or just polyurethane? (I can't read the rules, the stupid cams site has a popup that I can't figure out how to close...)

**SPEEDCORE** · 23-10-2009 04:12 PM

No sphericals.... all bushings must be elastometric.

Don't quote me cause its been a couple years since going through the 3J rules.... but I think there is also an issue with not allowing adjustable control arms.... which could raise an an issue for most 90's civics/tegs with the wishbone setup.

No Thanks. We are set on doing Time Attack rather then build a car to get bashed around.

Yeah to my understanding poly or rubber. Must run standard suspension arms, which i reckon is useless!

Round 1: Eastern Creek. 29 entries.
Round 2: Wakefield park. 35 entries.
Round 3: Oran Park GP. 43 entries.
Round 4: Eastern Creek. 36 entries.
Round 5: Wakefield park. 38 entries.

I think IPRA 3J is very strongly supported... Those are impressive grid numbers.
The reason for the boom next year in Honda race cars is ... People have realized that they are quick/ reliable/ cheap/ and easy to maintain. = Bags of fun!

No Thanks. We are set on doing Time Attack rather then build a car to get bashed around.

I'm not sure where you hear this sort of stuff from, but there is very little contact between competitors in 3J at all..... as a matter of fact I'd bet your Civic had more damage last season from the sprint rounds than my EK9 does from 6 rounds of IPRA racing!
If you ever have a change of heart... I'd be happy to help with the transition and any questions you might have regarding getting started in IPRA.

Cheers Greg..
