Project SI Wrap Design

Help us pick which wrap we apply to the SI

Project SI Wrap Design


With the help of NWMotiv I am looking to transform this 2007 Honda Civic SI into a street legal track car.   Working with various sponsors to help make this project a reality is a great way for me to help show you what simple modifications can help you and your car compete on a high level.  Currently we have three great sponsors with the project:  Cricket Communications, Go-Power Motorsports, and Skunk2 Racing.  Each one of our current sponsors and on coming sponsors are devoted to showing you the best results we can with the products on the car.

First Race of the Seaon for the Project SI

Great first event!!!

First Race of the Seaon for the Project SI

This weekend marked the first race of the season for the Project SI with the Snake River Autocross club.   Over the winter the car saw a few minor changes to it, with the addition of a rear camber kit from our boys at Skunk2 and a new set of Dunlop Star Specs (235/40/17).   If you remember from last year the Project SI runs in a class unique to this SCCA club.  The class is called Idaho Motor Sports (or IMS for short), this class is for the local forum that brings out pretty much any street car to compete.  For this class the rules are pretty simple, because there are only 2 of them:  1. Street Legal and 2. Street Tires (140 Tread wear and up).   The IMS class is filled with almost everything you can think of, high horse power Evolutions to 1980s Honda’s and big mix in-between.

Project SI - Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit Install

Once more goodie from Skunk2 for this upcoming racing season!

Project SI - Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit Install

With the racing season for our Project SI just under 2 weeks away its time we start getting the car ready.  This last week Skunk2 announced the release of the new Rear Camber Kit for the 2006+ Honda Civic SI, lucky for us we managed to get our hands on one.   Let me just start by saying this part is amazing, the quality is off the charts and gold color never hurts.  Now like we mentioned in the last update on the Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit, this new kit will allow you to adjust the camber on the rear without have to remove the part.

More details on the Install after the jump.

Skunk2 Racing: '06+ Civic SI Composite Fuel Rail

Skunk2 reintroduces its K-Series Composite Fuel Rail—now with applications for the ’06+ Civic Si.

Skunk2 Racing: '06+ Civic SI Composite Fuel Rail

Skunk2’s cutting-edge Composite Fuel Rail for Honda’s K-series engines—including the ’06+ Civic Si— is here. Skunk2’s Composite Fuel Rails are made using a proprietary carbon-impregnated, aerospace thermo-polymer composite—a material that’s 33-percent lighter, 60-percent stronger, and operates up to 100-degrees F cooler when compared to aluminum and insulates fuel from both radiant and conductive heat transfer underneath the hood, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. Composite Fuel Rails also feature large 0.625-inch internal bores for superior fuel injector pulsation dampening, are machined with a smooth interior finish, and feature radius-cut fuel injector outlets for improved flow characteristics. The special design that eliminates the sharp internal angles where the main bore meets the fuel injector bores inherent with conventional extruded- and drilled-aluminum designs can only be achieved with such composite materials. Skunk2’s K-series Composite Fuel Rails are compatible with the factory fuel system and can support up to 1,200 hp, with gains as high as three percent realized during testing.

Skunk2 Pro Series Composite Fuel Rails for K-series engines are available now and start at $199.99.

FEATURES:
Up To 3% Gain
Supports Up To 1,200 HP
0.625” Internal Bore
-8 AN Inlet and Outlet
Compatible With Factory Fuel System
Chemical-Resistant To All Fuels, Including Alcohol
'06+ Civic-Compatible Kit Available
Retail Price: From $199.99

Project SI - Road trip to the 2009 Eibach Meet

We get the car ready for the 800+ mile drive.

Project SI - Road trip to the 2009 Eibach Meet

This weekend our Project SI will be making the 800+ mile drive from Boise, Idaho to Corona, California for the 2009 Eibach meet.  During the trip down we will take random snaps of the things we encounter on our drive down.  But to start out the trip we needed to prep the SI for the upcoming long drive.  So what better way to spend a night than three rolls of 3M green autobody tape.  As you can see, we got a little carried away with the tape and had too much fun.   Look for the car at the 2009 Eibach meet as we roll down to bring you the coverage from the event.  See you all there.

More photos after the jump.
