Sunday Update

I did some work this weekend. Lately I've been reading up on a lot of different air intake designs. I found a TBIRA intake that was unique and proved to be powerful on d series engines. There are only a hand full of these air intakes out in existence. I tried to contact the people involved with creating this air intake but it was to no avail. I wasn't able to find one for sale either.

In light of this, I came up with a longer air intake design with materials I could get my hands on. I put together what I call a "bumper sucker" air intake. It starts with a BPi flow stack below the front passenger blinker, 3" aluminum tubing, two 90* silicon couplers, a 45* aluminum bend, more 3" aluminum tubing to another 45* bend and a 3" to 2.5" silicon reducer. It came out nice.





I drove Project '88 for the first time in months. I haven't had a chance to test out my new LCAs, alignment and new air intake. I drove a short distance. In that distance I noticed an immediate improvement. My car went straight, didn't pull and felt like a normal car.

Lately I've been having dreams where my Civic can't burn out at the track. It's been a reoccurring dream. I had to put that dream to rest today. I lit the tires up for a few moments. I'm happy that I did! Not only did my tires light up with ease, my suspension felt nice and stable, smooth. It didn't pull oddly, it went straight and felt awesome.

Project '88 is almost ready for the track. I still need a few more key parts.

Operation Windshield COMPLETE!

Finally, after all of these years, I have a new windshield installed into Project '88...


I am so thrilled to have a new windshield in. Having a cracked windshield was a major problem in being able to race at the 1/4 mile track that is near me. Now that I am over that hurdle, I can get out there and race!

Next up on my to do list is some body work. I have some rust in the rear quarters and some other holes to fill in. More updates soon!
