Wouldn't it be awesome if...

[Zelka]

We have here as i have seen a lot of people mostly in australia. These people have a wealth of knowledge and all that. Basically i was thinking wouldnt it be absolutley awesome if...

wait for it

an OzHonda Track car???

Ok hear me out a backyard job civic for example or anything else that is cheap and symbolises the great Honda Marque. Id like to see an EG but i guess whatever we can get our hands on. Then throw at it lots of time, love, dedication and effort and as little money as possible at it lol. Help from the sponsers would be great!

We could also maybe if wynode would like put the stickers of whichever sponser sponseres us most prominantly on the car, as well as the OzHonda thing on it whatever. Then we find a driver and enter a couple of races, nothing big...but at the same time dispel the whole "all honda cars are rice burners" thing.

Another added benifit would be us doing some crazy and wait for it Official OzHonda write ups about almost everything we do to the car (obviously there will be some setups we wont reveal to the public).

Well its just a crazy dream of mine. And if it ever does pan out to even a mere spec of a possibility im all in for helping alot and donating a bit of money (i have very little thou lol).

Well i dunno u guys should get the gist of it but yeah so i wanna know what u guys think...

P.S. i live in syd so obviously im not gonna be helpping a lot if we decide to do this in melb or whatever lol

[trism]

it would be great.

but the chances of it happeniung are next to none...

[kelviN]

your idea is too vague....

Keep working on it =)

[MWAKU]

sounds like the auto salon drift car..

reality is.. its just a forum.. hardly anyones goin to contribute and noones gonna fork out like 15k building it..

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Sorry to crush your thoughts/opinion/idea but Trism and MWAKU just put it.

Though to contribute

If i were to see something like this happen it WOULD need to be ED maximum for age (and even then i shiver)

I think something like this should be old school and a restoration to represent what brought us all together back to life

Anyway im probably off my rocker right now so try not to listen to me to much

[tseesinngwailo]

Lets get a 1975 Civic! EB1 ?? old skool!

[Zelka]

YAYYYYY
go tseesinngwailo....**** that took me a while to spell right ahahaha
i like ur attitude lol

i also agree with the other pplz it would be hard/impractical/fun :P
but srsly it wou be CRAZY if it happened
big if but yeah

i think i shall cry myself 2 sleep now it is 2:40am

[xntrik]

anyone?





no one.

[whtteg]

heres an idea....

why not start small only thinking about looks....

im sure there are enough mechanics, panel beaters, air brush artists and spray painters on the forum to get a eg up to auto salon specs, using donated time, parts and labor (even having a wanted to donate thread, so anyone who wants to clean out parts they dont want or need can donate). enter that in AS and see what the reaction is from prospective sponsors...

then in year two of the project if sponsors can be found get the parts needed to make the car compeditive from sponsors and race at local club level all the time improving the car and driver until maybe one day it gets to be a known project....

just my 2c anyway...

[bennjamin]

nice ideas but there isnt enough money or official sponsors behind this website to produce such a side project. This is a free forum with little or no advertising (depends on how your browser is set up) So there wouldnt be much point to pushing a Ozhonda race car. There are , however past and current and future cars organized thru and via this website

[xntrik]

Monty ITR has a J's racing sponsored DC5-R, ask him to stick Ozhonda sticker on it.
were done. LOL

[ek4-guy]

I have a similar idea but mine isn't aiming so high.

My idea is to get a group of friends together all willing to spend time building and working on a car. Say 4/5 people willing to work and put in a small outlay to buy a car then donate parts to it.

For instance my ek4 is constantly getting new parts and the parts I take off are perfectly good oem parts like I/H/E, Wheels and soon a B16a2 that will just need new rings.

My idea would be for the 4/5 of us to all pitch in to buy say an eg hatch say $500 each then we all donate our old parts, skills and time.

Once the car is fitted out and preped for racing then each contributing person could buy a set of tyres (or buy tyres as a group).

Then we could take turns in racing the car and honning our race skills without putting our road cars at risk.

Say it was my turn to race all would have to outlay would be fuel and event entry costs and have my set of tyres fitted up. It would be upto me to buy spark plugs and filters wich I could save for my next run along with the tyres.

So far my idea isn't perfect as oil, tyres and sundries may maynot last say 4/5 events but if they did then these parts could be bought as a group. Also if this was the case the usage list would have to be modified each time. To eventually allow every person to drive on new and older parts to be fair

The group could also have fun bbq days while preping the car for each event aswell as attend the event giving support and sharing techniques/ideas.
