Thinking about it. Not sure what car to bring though.
Sure would be nice but not quite in the budget! I brought 2 to Savannah in 2009 but that was only 5 hours away. The leading contender for Ohio right now is the Datsun even though it is not SR pow...
Thinking about it. Not sure what car to bring though.
Simon, I have run my '92 SE-R in IT since 2003 when I did the double school at Robling Road. I mostly run in the Central Florida Region so Sebring and Daytona. I installed a Koyo radiator, Mocal ...
But how does it handle now you say???
Well, I have only driven to work and back twice now and all I can say is...
Holy Shit!!! BIG DIFERENCE!!! The car stays VERY flat in the turns. It is ...
The final step now was to remove the Scott Russell Linkage. Make sure you hit up the nuts and bolts with some PB Blaster before you start this whole process. I did and it was still a pain in the ...
I forgot to mention that one of the added benefits of the adjustable diagonal brace is pletnty of room for the exhaust system.
Now that all of that is done, time for the star of the show, th...
Here is the diagonal brace with the chassis mount all painted and ready to install.

Here is a close up of the clevis end...

With that done...
The next part of this process is to locate the chassis mount for the diagonal brace. The best place is going to be the frame rail on the left side of the chassis. The diagonal brace is needed to ...
Now that the chassis mount is finalized, I can work on the axle mount. One of the benifits of placing the chassis mount on the outside of the the frame rail is that it makes the panhard bar longer...
So attaching the chassis mount to the mounting plate is a bit of a challenge as there are multiple angles that need to be accounted for. First off, the chassis mount needs to be parallel to the ax...
Next is the mounting plate. Just like a roll cage, you need to have a mounting plate to gain surface area when attaching to the thin factory steel. I started with the top plate that connects to t...
So now I had to figure out where to attach the chassis mount. I noticed that most of the cars that have had this modification have had the chassis mount on the right side of the car. Mine is no d...
Damn that is frustrating. I will have to do more posts with less info in each one so that does not happen again.
I ordered my rod ends from Rockkrawler 4 link kit, bearing, heim joints, heims, ...

Kyle, I loved your car and the way you were driving it. I am sure it made a lot of us think back to the day when our SE-Rs were stock and why we fell in love with these little econo-boxes in the f...
Hank, I totally understand why it is frowned upon to time laps at an HPDE. But at the same time, how can you quantify what you have learned at the track? I know that is a broad statement and that...
