91 CRX Si ITA Build

[dickita15]

Chris, you did I nice job on building the car. You showed very good judgment with regard to where to put your priorities. It looks like a safe solid platform to start your wheel to wheel career. Now comes the fun of developing the driver and the car. Welcome to the Dream.

 

[Andy Bettencourt]

VERY nice! Can't wait to race against you!

 

[raffaelli]

Thanks guys. Don't run me over when you lap me!

 

[lateapex911]

Sigh...if only it were that easy for me and my RX-7!

 

[raffaelli]

Ahh..I have seen your car...you will be on the list of people lapping me...

Only if he doesn't catch on fire!!


Come hunt us down during the weekend.

 

[raffaelli]

I will, thanks for the offer!

I am going to order a suit in the AM.
This is the one I am thinking of:

Any reason I shouldn't?

Drivers Suit

Although that is an ok suit, you might want to consider contacting Driving Impressions in Dover NJ. Bob Zecca is a good guy, and is putting time and money into more than one attempt at the northeast IT racing series. I am sure his prices are as good, and the quality of his suits are better.

Two birds with one stone, better product, and your directly supporting a northeast series sponsor.

I'm a firm believer in the try it on tactic for suits, gloves, boots and helmets...Tom gives good advice here.

So my transponder arrived yesterday. I was looking for a good place to mount it. I am thinking of to the side of the chassis rail near the passenger side engine mount in the engine compartment. Where do you have yours?

 

[lateapex911]

Same place, hardwired to the kill switch. No reason to have it on a separate switch, it draws zero power, and forgetting to turn it on would be awful. One less thing to remember.

 

[raffaelli]

THe transponder is in. It is against the engine side of the passenger side chassis rail. It is about 1/4" behind the rear lip of the lower cross member. There is not material directly under the foot print of the transponder. Sound OK?

 

[lateapex911]

Perfect. Same spot as mine. Amazingly, it would work even if there were plastic there, or so they claim. Your's is better than fine. Now memorize the number, and enter it into your cep phone so you can find it instantly!

Or just write the number in your vehicle's log book.

 

[spnkzss]

Or just write the number in your vehicle's log book.

That's the only way to do it. That and leave the log book in the glove box. You'll never lose it then. LOL

 

[raffaelli]

It is written in my log book and on my helmet.


Tatoo is next...

 

[lateapex911]

That's the only way to do it. That and leave the log book in the glove box. You'll never lose it then. LOL

Not that it happens much, and jeez NOBODy would do it to MY car, LOL, but I always get nervous leaving the logbook IN the car, because why give a thief EVERYthing?

kinda like leaving the title in your street car.

IF there was some kind of national registry of log books (like the DMV) then I would have to agree with you, but having a log book won't prove much if it is taken. At least not enough that I wouldn't already have that information elsewhere. That and I have a title for my racecar which would mean more than the log book anywho.

Put the log book in your helmet bag. You will have it when you go to tech and the mice won’t eat it like happened to a couple of VW’s I know.
