    Those rims make it look BMW. But I don't know...it's just not my type of eye candy.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    I doubt it...

    But iff there is a thread then whoever saw it should post a link here.

    anyways I have a lot of respect for people with rollcages and Hoosier tire decals on the side of the car.

    he probably chose them because they were cheap and light. 18" chrome wheels are not the ideal choice when racing.

    SWEET! You gotta have your shop teaher join 3GEEZ. This way we'll learn his suspension tricks and maybe he'll get some ideas about performance. Either way, it'll be a little more incentive for him to keep it rather then sell it as he tried already via eBay.

    hmm, those do look like BMW rims. like off the 3 series. i saw 2 pairs of those at the junkyard. now that i see they look pretty cool on the 3gee, i maybe go get them. if my tiny center cap or dust cap thing would fit that hole. and gotta see the offset and other stuff. im trying to find another 3gee for realy cheap here. i wanna make it raced out looking. like have a whole theme to it, like a castrol accord. maybe in silver, with some nice graphics on the windows and on the car clear coated. that would be cool. kinda got the idea from a supra from one of my games.

    Cool hatch, i guess. But one question. Why all that cage work and suspension if I only see a custome CAI and headers. I had that on my Sei and it wasn't that fast for the need of a Roll cage.

    88 Accord IT race car

    I just joined 3Geez after hearing that my car was on the web-site from one of my students. It is built for SCCA IT rules. I ran two races this year in ITB and then the SCCA inspectors found I should have been in ITA. Oh-well, I actually placed higher in ITA in my last race losing only to a Acura Intergra that is quick and is the Colorado/Rocky Mtn. Champion. The car does OK in performance, but I am looking for some internal engine hope-up parts. I am also looking to install a lower final drive ratio, closer gear spacing and a better limited slip differential. I have fun with the spec Miata's and the BMW's

    The car has inverted coil-overs, larger anti-roll bars and a camber kit. The cage, seat & 5-point belts are SCCA required. I run the BMW wheels, good, light, inexpensive and are 6" wide.

    This is the first Honda ever owned and I am impressed at how tough these cars are especially diving into a turn at 80-85 mph, jumping on the brakes and powering out. I don't passed in the turns unless it is a high dollar car that is in a different class.
    Any leads with the engine and trans parts would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your help;

    ITR,

    First, WELCOME TO THE BOARD. If you check out the technical, and performance sections, you'll see how endless the possibilities really are for your car. To extract just a little more power out of the car without opening up the engine, you could do a few little things. Ignition system (ignition, coil, plugs, wires, etc.), tweaking the timing a little, possibly a metal CAI rather then the corugated one currently on there. Not too sure of all mods that you already have, but there's always more to be done. Def. also check out the EFI TEch section in the Technical forum, and you'll find all sorts of tweaking goodies.

    Once again, welcome, and please feel free to stay a while. Your car has been the envy of a number of members here.
    -Mark D.

    the 86-87 Prelude si's tranny will bolt right up to your motor and have slightly shorter gearing.

    The gears from a 86-89 integra will wok in the Accord tranny and have shorter gears than the prelude.


    As far as internals....all I can think of is a p&p head and higher comp pistons, camshaft and such.

    I'm pretty sure you're limited to do certain things in certain classes though.

    The special coilovers he's runnning have been discontinued, OPMmotorsports used to carry them.

    Am curious what larger sway bar's he's running, Suspension Technique's, Addco, Custom Sanner prefab unit's or someone else's custom bend?

    Talk to sean, he has the hookup on forged higher compression pistons and eagle rods. As for a lsd you can use an early Integra tranny with an aftermarket lsd. Check out the howto section.

    If turbos are ITA / SCCA legal, you should go that route, I believe Sean (thats his user name too) is making A20 turbo kits and DIS kits now, you should talk to him about upgrading turbo or not. good luck!
