hey guys im wanting to put a different bumper on the front could someone help me on how to mount it up thanks Depending on the bumper/rules I do it one of two ways. 1. Hardnose it. 2. remove stock brackets, torch the holes in frame larger so the shocks fit. Compact GM shocks fit nicely and will actually bolt on in 3 of the 4 holes if it's a no weld deal.

Well, the Accord rules again. At this point we have had to ditch the alternator, and the radiator. I think if we get another one, those will be the first things to go in the trash.

Allow me to clarify. Whenever looping hoses to ditch a radiator, use an inline filler neck with a pressure release port. Otherwise, when the pressure builds, something's gonna give.

my buddies car was full of water and that junked his computer. It ran bad and wouldn't idle. switched computer and it ran great. These hondas are pretty basic and not much to go wrong with. Id start by changing computer but would need a little more info first before I could be sure

The 90 Accord wins another one. Finally hurt, but still good for a 7th run.

The civic I built this summer took a hard beating in August on a monday night, got 4th. Reshaped the back, added some stuff, fixed some more up front, ran it again that friday and got me my first derby win! Getting bumper height would really help civics when rwd compacts are competing against you. a foxbody mustang cleared my bumper completely and a spirit sheared the decklid and quarters clean off the rear floor board. I'll try to remember to post pics of it soon.

^^^^Bought it on ebay...around $30. Holds a regular radiator cap, and has a fitting for overflow.

After 2 very hard runs in 1 week. a 4th place and a first win. If you can't tuck the trunk or pinch the qtrs, you definitely want a rear window bar and as much of a gas tank protector as you can. I was hitting with both of those. The core supports aren't very strong either when you run against foxbody's, they have way more bumper height then I could get. Luckily I had overbuilt a distributor protector so save that. 1.5l motor with an auto was strong even with 200K+ miles, it never stalled the first night, but the second night it was cooking the piston rings and started bogging down. Had to hold it to the floor, and neutral drop it at 6000 rpm's to keep it going. Broke the timing belt trying to take it off the truck at the shop.

Hey where are all you getting your donut tires from? I am looking for two of them, If you are getting them from a junk yard how much are you paying for them? And if I get a set for my honda does anyone know if they will work on a toyota?
