My AutoX project thread. Vol.1

Let us know how that works, I would think it would throw everything out of alignment.

thats possible but i wouldn't think alignment is a big issue for a race-car

[Biglay5150]

The Idea is to widen the track width (not by much) and give me better camber for cornering. Toe in and toe out wont be a problem. Im also going to use the power steering from the Aspire.
Like Damkid said this is a race car and will not be driven on the street. I will keep everyone posted on how everything works.

Im also thinking of putting a couple washers in the lower two rear spindle bolts. This should give me some camber in the rear.

Well I know I havent kept up on the progress of this car but heres a sneek peek. Ill update it soon. Ill also be racing it on May 31.

O.k. So in Jan. I had to move and had to ditch the BP. I gutted that Aspire in a hurry and scrapped it. I hate moving. Once I got settled in at the new house I started on the car again. I did the full Aspire swap including swaybar and brake booster/master. I did use the Aspire lca's and axles which gave me great camber but I left the rear alone for now. I got a set of those ebay coilover springs for a civic. Man this thing is stiff! I have removed everything I could including the e-brake. If I didnt have to have it its not there. I ended up using the Aspire eng and trans untill I get a BP for the white car then the B6 from that car will go in. I blocked off the water from the back of the intake and the front lower block (no heater). I also eliminated all smog stuff on the eng. It still has the stock exhaust because I figured when I change motors I would do it. I built a rear strut tower brace and one behind the seat for my 4point harness. I left all the lights in working order but got rid of all unessasary wiring. I still need the make a mount for the tach cluster but I am going to run without it this weekend. Ive been doing all the prep work this last week to get it ready. I picked up some slicks on Friday. Im ready to drive this car for the FIRST time ever. I will have more pics and video as the auto-x season rolls on. I still havnt figured out what class it should run in so if anyone can help me figure it out that would be cool.

[Biglay5150]

After doing some research and Asking on another site I have figued out that this car will be running in E Prepared class. Im not to concerned what class I run as I am only out for fun at this point. I will do my best!
Oh yea I forgot to mention in my earlier posts that I also used an Aspire radiator in this car.

Shouldn't it be under SM class? You have a engine swap don't you?

[Biglay5150]

Its a 1.3 from an Aspire. I wouldnt concider that an engine swap. Its stock

[Gforcefd]

For some reason I thought you had a 1.6 before you ditched the BP idea.

[Biglay5150]

LOL yea that went into the White car when the 1.3 in that went south. Its all in this thread. My plans have changes alot since this car build started.lol I think when I do a swapo in this car it will be in a modified class not SM because its not a street leagal car.

How much camber did you gain from the Aspire LCA/axle swap?

[Biglay5150]

I havnt yet measured it. I will be cambering the rears after tomorows race so I will measure them then.
