Hi guys/girls, I picked up a 89 civic hatch back 2 years ago for a wooping price of ( free ). Mt son and I decided to use this car for fun, we have started to run this car in an Auto cross club here in NH. as of right now I have the suspension completed and handles great, Last season the club placed me in a SM street modified class because we pulled out the back seat, But thats ok because we seam to be pretty competative, this car has a stock 1.5 with 260k on it and is not a power house by any means but handle awesome, We are looking to take the class this year with the smallest cubic inch motor to show up for events ,I took 3rd over all last season so I believe we can become even better.
First question I have is will a ajustable cam gear sqeak out a few more HP and if so has any one here done this and what was your results and are there any timing points to start with-cam and ignition.
Thanks to any or all responses to my question .I am sure I will be doing some more brain picking in the future , but as my name says, this is a budget project. I am just trying to prove something here, you don't have to have many thousands in a car to have a good time with it, Dennis
