KS Race car teaser...

[Reid@KAIZENSPEED]

I don't have time to post details right now but I just picked up the car from paint earlier this morning. I've been tinkering with this car for the last few years and this year I'm going to finally get it to the track! Needless to say, I'm excited!!!

VERY NICE!! I cant wait to see another purpose built civic around. It sure would be nice to get the few purpose built cars east of the cascades together for some fun!

Throw some specs up and 1/4 ET goals when ya get a chance!

Hey Reid....you should get some of the guys down there to get cars setup for the SFWD class im tryin to get goin up here. Check out the thread for the info.
FWD heads up points series for friday nights. Any interest? - Spokane Speed (http://www.spokanespeed.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5249)

Back on topic, Car looks good man, been following the build. Just wondering though, this is pretty much a Hot-Rod/Pro FWD car isnt it? Are there any sanctioning bodies that run these still, or is this a car to showcase KAIZENSPEED's talents?

[lostkuase]

wow... if my car turns out to be anything special i wouldnt mind to run against ya, for s and g's. Well even if my h2b isnt special than if your down i wouldnt mind watching urs go flying by! lol

h2b vs h2b a race and a street version. We all know what happens then... reids h2b will coast from half track and hell be like hm.. that guy still back there somewhere?

what do you think it will run?

[lostkuase]

okay went back over the pics... got some questions why the tape on the front tube frame?
what was used to smooth out the interior quaters? i noticed they are flat. is the inside sprayed with anything?

more pics please :)

[Reid@KAIZENSPEED]

Tape on the front end so I wouldn't scratch it when I was leaning over working on it. As for the rear interior quarter panels: I cut out the factory stuff cause it was ugly and made some thin steel panels to weld in just for aesthetics. I really want this car to be immaculate inside and out. The interior was painted flat black with the exception of the roll cage which is Cadillac gloss black to match the exterior.
