We have this Crx for sale with tons of aftermarket goodies and guaranteed to be competitive 204-228-5115

CBS reality series Going Pro is a pretty big leap for Nomad digital. Should be able to retire "ol' blue" and buy a real ice car. LOL Good luck on the new venture. Remember ... keep changing those tires. Going Pro

@white_cross: Yes, my Celica had an 18R-G. I loved the sound of the four carbuartors sucking air through a mostly open airbox! For that time, it was a quick vehicle....maybe not superfast, but driven with the right attitude, there were not very many vehicles that could follow. Unfortunately, a big German Oak tree acted as a guard rail during a rallye and left its imprint in the quarter panel. So when at the finish of the rallye a competitor offered me more money for the damaged car than I bought the Celica for about a year earlier, I took the money and came home with an empty trailer. Replaced the Celica with a Fiat 131 Abarth Walter Röhrl, which I loved as well. But I am still missing the Celica. I am mesmerized by the amount of work that you guys put into this build - no quick gratification there! But it will be awesome to see this car in action, and I am looking forward to watching it during an event!  

Currently the older Honda civics are the most popular within our club and these weigh in around 2100-2300 lbs however as you point out the older small light hatchbacks are becoming more rare. The reality undoubtedly will involve more modern and heavier cars joining in as things evolve each year.  For the door to door ice racing we have not had any caged and street legal licensed cars show up to race but that doesn’t mean you can’t be the first.   

Thanks Mike! Likely ice racing will be my first exposure to wheel to wheel racing so I don't know how competitive I'll be. It'll be great to just get out and start doing it. That said the car is still my daily driver haha (It now gets threatened with getting gutted and caged every time it breaks on me). So I'll have to think about what I want to use for daily and what for racing.  I'll keep an eye on the forums/online ads for viable cars or built race cars too. What's the general weight people look for before doing weight reduction? I know a lot of the cars are small hatchbacks but those are getting harder and harder to find, especially in manual.  Strange question but has anybody ever raced a "street legal" plated car? Or is it pretty much required to trailer/dolly it around. That's been the biggest hangup for me, transportation and storage of an unregistered car.
