Project ?? winter/rally/hillclimb project

[Ballistic Motorsports]

Some know I bought Matty's 91 Civic to convert into a weekend bastard. Yes I still have the Miata , but I did not want to have to run a full cage in the Miata for Hillclimb when I can do pretty much all other events with a HArddog rollbar.


We took it around the building yesterday for a quick putt in the snow . Wish someone had more time to Video as I would have gone across the street to get some good action .

So we started stripping the car today . Here are pics to show where this project starts and will keep things updated as we progress .

Looks like I will be running in Modified due to some rules and some missing OEM stuff that leaves me out of the lower classes. But keeps me in the dirrection I want to take the car anyway.

1. Strip the car to nothing interior wise .
2. Fresh fluids
3. Fab a new intake system
4. Fab some stiffening components to take the abuse of being thrashed and to keep the suspension more consistiant
5. Rally flaps so I can be cool to
6. decide on tires
7. Fab skid plat to save oil pan from damage
8. Cage it at some point
9. Swap it at some point
will add more as we compete stuff

Yes! Those studded snows with all seasons in back made for a fun snow car.

I'm excited to see you putting it to use.

I say you make it a mid engine beast.

OMG......that would be so much win!

[DaveEstey]

I have some rims and tires for that

[Ballistic Motorsports]

Dont think they will work for the rally-x or the winter-x

But I am definatly trying to scrap together the money to buy them. You want a Outrunners Arcade game ... LOL

[DaveEstey]

Haha if I had room I would consider it.

No rush on the setup though, they're sitting in a nice heated space waiting for you.

[:Quirk:]

if you strip the intreior it will bump you up in classes in rallycross. Might ber the same for autox

[Ballistic Motorsports]

Ya , I am going to run Modified , that way I dont have to switch classes as I progress the car.

This first event is more to see what the car will need and how it likes everything. Stock motor /stock suspension for this event . But down the road that will be swapped.

Right now its gut it and new tires. Fab a intake because the stock one is gone . the one in there now was made out of a piece of stove pipe with a filter on it. We swapped all the fluids , going to flush the brakes next. Just picked up some matirials to make killer rally flaps If time permits we might strap it on the dyno and trick a few sensors to force the computer into different fuel maps

Hey Alex .. How are these for Rally flaps




Chris the Powdercoater donated a Wannabe Type R valve cover should be good for Maximum power .. LOL

Will be seam welding it up when I get some time.
