Onion Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 That's what makes it fast. We all know it adds horsepower. That's why all those Honda Civics have stickers and stuff on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewr05 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I've never done it personally but I really like the idea of autocross. Lighten absolutely everything you can (who needs interior or A/C? ) and it'll be a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 It already doesn't have A/C. Autocross is exactly what it's fate is...assuming we get it going of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boinker Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Heck WacoPanda just go get a salvage engine that did not experience the same issue. Send it out to have the engine redone and mods done and Drop it back in. Depending on when the timing belt snapped, usually at high or peak RPM, then you may have bent valves, cracked pistons, ruined valve seats, a bent rod, and the list just keeps going. There would not be an end to what I would do to that car if I had the means and time to mod it. Exteneded wheel wells, Widers tires, Flairs, different diff.... What kind of car is this anyhow. a Honda....... WHat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on when the timing belt snapped, usually at high or peak RPM, then you may have bent valves, cracked pistons, ruined valve seats, a bent rod, and the list just keeps going. Wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose of getting it running ourselves? From a cursory look (and feel, spinning the crankshaft and the camshaft gears) there might not be any real damage at all. I think what happened is that the water pump bearing completely burned out and seized at some point when the car was parked. The next time it was started, it busted the timing belt. We'll find out tomorrow I guess. EDIT: And yes, our shed is a complete wreck. We don't own this place - if we did I'd knock the whole thing down and build a proper garage.
