Do you think the alien Elvis army is waging a secret war on the US super soldiers on the crop circle battlefield? (sorry off topic)
Cant say I am really not a fan of all this war topics. If it was me i would just kill them all first..
(11)
What % of engine parts do you custom fabricate and what % is off the shelf aftermarket parts
About 80 % of the motor is custom internal parts,, Ranging from piston diameter to Rod Length to the top end of custom cam.
(12)
When building the H-series engine did you start with the H23 bottom end or the H22? Why?
H 23 bottom has a bigger stroke to start with so we go with that. as well they are a little easier to find on the wholesale market..
(13)
I see on your website that you sell Hasport engine mounts do you use them? Or are your mounts custom?
We use custom mounts on our race car but on all street swaps we use the hasport kits.
(14)
Have you ever considered using the gen one CRX because it's a lighter base to start with?
Never thought of that, But we did build a new 2001 civic coupe for its longer wheels base and to come current w some newer cars.
(15)
How much of your track success comes from engine tuning in comparison to suspension tuning?
They are both equal. You canmake the most power out of any one but if you cant get it to the ground then it does nothing for you..
(16)
What kind of engine specs do they run...compression ratio,
displacement, rod/stroke ratio?
we have a 2.5 liter motor with some hig compression ?????????? use your imagination...

What are your goals over the next year?
To better our times in our crx and work out all the bugs in our new car.
(18)
How do you feel about the change Honda made to its new line of engines? Do you see any promise in there new K-series engines?
The K sereis motor internals are awesome. The crank is a work of art and soon as somebody starts going fast with it everyone will jump ship...
