I am only looking to sell outright or trade DOWN for a cheaper car plus cash, manual transmission only and sub $10k. Something I can take to track days, auto x, rally x and ice dice without feeling bad about, but with a bit of performance. Ideal cars are 8th gen Civic Si, Acura RSX Type S, Fiat 500 Abarth, Honda Fit, Mazda RX-8, Mazda Miata, Ford Focus SVT.





Please contact for more photos, it’s easier to send than to try and post.

Spec Honda Fit Multi Discipline Race Challenge (2020)

What: A low cost spec race challenge spanning three disciplines of racing envisioned to be low cost for competitors. The Honda Fit is a cheap car to own and run and is surprisingly capable. This event is designed to encourage close competition at entry level costs and encourage participation in local club events. There is no entry fee to compete in this “championship” however all rules of local clubs must be followed at events.

Spec Vehicle: First or second gen Honda Fit originally sold in Canada/USA ONLY (ie no Japanese import cars)

Modifications allowed: HS auto x rules with spec tires to be determined (low cost)

Scoring: Based on a 100 point per event system with minimum one auto x at a local venue, one auto x at a red deer venue, one rally x with ERC and one ice dice with CSCC required to qualify. Four events total scored towards a best possible 400/400 score for the season. For PAX scoring, auto x will be based off fastest HS car of the day, rally x and ice dice will be based off fastest overall car of the day.

Teams encouraged (max 4 drivers per car). First place will receive a trophy (individual) with possible team standings and awards based on participation numbers. Friendly wagers encouraged.

Scoring, rule set and vehicle modifications subject to change after 2020 season pending discussion from all participants.

Rules etc are not set in stone but this is the basic idea of what we want to achieve. We have a team of 3 (maybe 4) already confirmed and have interest expressed from others for down the road.

Automotive Marketplace / WTB: C5 Corvette
« on: January 19, 2018, 12:07:38 PM »
Looking for a C5 Corvette. I’m willing to consider Z06 and non Z06 models but nothing that’s a soft top convertible or an automatic. The top end of my budget is $22k but I’d be willing to spend a little more if I find the right car. Does not need to have any racing prep or modifications.

Automotive Marketplace / Re: Jame's "new" 1999 Corvette
« on: August 14, 2017, 11:01:37 AM »
Gary kindly let me co-drive with him for one event a little while ago and I can attest that this is a sound car and in very good condition.  And, like he said, some RE71's or Rivals would transform the car and make it competitive for BStreet.

James, you haven't had a Corvette yet, eh?   LOL

Reijo

Not yet, been watching them for years. Seems harder to buy into a Z06 lately unless you want a rebuilt title car and I'm not very comfortable with one of those.

Automotive Marketplace / Where to buy: Supertrapp for vehicle exhaust?
« on: March 19, 2017, 07:21:43 PM »
Planning to put a supertrapp on my Civic as I suspect it will be too loud for local auto x events (also excruciatingly loud on the highway currently). Anywhere locally I can find one?

Technical Talk / James's EP Civic
« on: March 19, 2017, 07:16:56 PM »
Alright guys time for me to start over as a novice again! I need to class my car for this season. It's a 1997 Honda Civic Hatch with a K20A2 engine from a Acura RSX Type S. It has a 6 speed transmission out of an Accord Euro R with a shortened final drive and Wavetrac LSD. Full adjustable suspension/arm upgrades, mix match of ITR/S2000/EP3 brakes, 15x8 wheels with 205-225 R Compound tires.

I believe the car sits somewhere in a prep class?

Also any tips for someone who has never competitively driven a FWD car before?
