Photos: 1st Generation Civic SCCA GT-5 Race Car (Parted)
Hi - I am new to this forum & want to show some photos of the racecar that I drove back in 1987. My dad owned this car & he bought it from a guy named George Leach who worked at King Honda in Milwaukee, WI. Dad bought the car in about 1986 and I went with him to pick it up. The car doesn't exist anymore, but I still have a lot of the spare parts from it.
My Dad always had #30 since he started racing, but this car was a different number when he bought it. He started racing in about 1969 and had a Devin Crosley "D" sports racer, and then a Mini Cooper, and then the Honda (all w/ #30) and he mostly raced at Waterford Hills in Michigan.
Here are some of the details on this race car:
EB2 or EB3 1200 cc engine w/ the following modifications:
Mugen Intake w/ (4) Keihin Slide Style Motorcycle carburetor
Mugen 90 degree distributor Adapter to clear intake
High Compression Pistons
HP camshaft
Adjustable camshaft Gear
Deep Sump Oil Pan w/ Modified Pickup
Suspension:
Adjustable Struts w/ Adjustable Ride Height
Tubular Suspension Arms
Panasport wheels 13" x 6"
Wide IMSA style Bodywork
Banjo Mathews Roll Cage
