Getting up to speed

In December '09 I purchased a '94 Honda Civic CX with the hope of building it up to be an SCCA Solo car in the Street Touring or Street Modified class. The car was unmolested and well taken care of. After picking up a set of 15x6.5 Konig Heliums (11-12 lbs) and fitting them with 205/50 Falken RT-615 tires I went to my first autocross.


If you take a look at the picture you can see TONS of body roll. However the car felt great. It's very neutral the much wider than stock tires give it lots of grip.

So to fight the body roll a set of Koni Sport shocks and Ground Control sleeves were ordered and are currently being installed on the car. The next Solo event is in a week so hopefully I'll have enough time to get the car decently dialed in and the next picture should be of a car with a little more composure.
