Hi everyone,
I've just signed up for OzHonda and thought I'd introduce myself. I've got a 1991 Honda CRX.
Specs:
D16/ZC motor (swapped when the original motor died)
Lightweight flywheel
Extractors & 2.5" exhaust system (don't know brands)
Pedders lowered suspension
Have done about four motorkhana events with this setup (as I bought it), managed second on two of them. Unfortunately there was a fair bit of difference between times for first and second place. In one event this was definitely down to my driving, as I tagged a cone or two, and in the other I believe some suspension modifications definitely would have helped.
Here are the modifications I'm thinking of and why:
- Enkei RP-F1 15x7.0"
- They're light
- I can fit 205 rubber on them (currently got 5.5" wide rims)
- They're not as expensive as some lightweight rims (about $200/rim vs. $500 for Volk's)
- Large rear sway bar - not sure if ASR 32mm or Tanabe/Suspension Techniques 24mm
- I need to minimise wheelspin out of tight turns (yes, I know, modulate the throttle)
- I need to reduce bodyroll
- Aluminium rear lower control arms
- Less unsprung weight
- I will be able to adjust the effect of the rear swaybar (with certain brands, eg. Skunk2)
- Front & rear camber adjusters
- Adjustment to fine tune the effect of other components
- Bracing
- Front strut tower bar
- Rear strut tower bar
- Front tie bar
- Rear c-pillar bar
- Ties car together to improve effect of suspension mods
- Considering rear tie bar OR ASR rear brace
Keen to hear what others with EF/ED's think. Preferably those who use them in motorkhana.
Ankles
