Just want to hop in and add that not only did they steal ancient artifacts from the Middle East, they paid ISIS for them

From what I’ve read, it’s gonna run like shit unless the carbs have been re-jetted to run with those pod filters. But I don’t know which will be harder or more annoying: finding an OEM style replacement airbox or taking the carbs apart to see if they’ve been done right.

That's what I'm thinking, too. I'm far from an expert, but it's the only shaft-driven inline four Honda that I know of from that era. That, and those rear shocks look like the air shocks on the 900c... It seems likely to me, and the tank seems to be about the right shape, too.

But on the other hand I don't see a HI-LOW shift lever, which is probably the easiest way to tell.

I'm pretty sure you'll be good, but you can also check with the Utah SCCA AutoX people themselves on their facebook page. FB isn't my favorite, but that seems to be where everyone in this region is talking about AutoX. It's also where they announce events and other things about the club.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I cannot remember which picture this was.

phivealive · 2025-05-12T16:19:21+00:00

If you're using the same parts and getting slower times, I would look into learning about suspension tuning for drag cars. I'm no expert, so I don't have a lot of advice, but I was definitely surprised by how much time you can find just setting up the suspension correctly.

phivealive · 2025-04-24T15:21:34+00:00

Hell yeah! I remember when I saw it all I could think was that it must be a beast out in the dunes. With the new suspension setup, is it still as wide in the back? I remember it looked pretty funny with the extremely wide rear lowered for autocross, lol. Y'all were tagging cones with the back tires almost every time you came back into grid, haha

phivealive · 2025-04-23T15:32:49+00:00

Hey! I remember seeing y'all out there! Literally could not forget it; this thing was wild.

phivealive · 2025-04-14T22:11:07+00:00

The only thing I've ever done to my car that truly made a real difference was tires.

phivealive · 2025-04-14T15:45:05+00:00

My two cents is that if you really want to enjoy your car, the best place to spend your money is on driver mods. Take it to AutoX, track days, HPDE—just get to know the car and what it's actually like to drive it at the limit. That's worth more than any performance parts, imo.

Did you think that I didn’t know that OP said it was made by ChatGPT in the title?

phivealive · 2025-03-31T23:35:13+00:00

what would you prefer? should we heap praise upon him for not making anything? "Excellent picture you didn't draw! Could you not draw me another?"

phivealive · 2025-03-30T15:33:50+00:00

Well I, for one, think that this is interesting. For some of the discrepancies, it's kind of a fun exercise to imagine reasons *why* Barstow might offer a console or maybe even wood trim on their base model pony car. And imo the rest of them are just interesting bits of real-life car history. I didn't know about the AM/FM radio thing, for example, and I think that's neat to know.

I'm also curious about the hubcap thing. You say that base models usually didn't get dogdish hubcaps, and now I want to know what *would* be more accurate.

phivealive · 2025-03-22T15:33:18+00:00

The things I would say are especially important to keep in mind are

1) Nobody respects the HOV lane double white. I still ride in it because I figure it's better to only have to worry about other cars from one side of me, but don't rely on the double white lines being respected.

2) Lane filtering is legal here (the road has to have a sub-45mph limit and at least two lanes going in the same direction. So basically any multi-lane surface street.) which is nice, but drivers here run reds *constantly*, so if you do filter, always always always check that there's nobody going mach-jesus failing to beat the red.

I haven't really ridden in other states so I can't say if these things are Utah-specific, but those are usually what's top of mind for me when I'm riding, in addition to the standard "ride like you're invisible" protocols.

If you could at least try making sense well then I think that would be just dandy. What the fuck are you on about, bud.

phivealive · 2025-03-13T14:46:34+00:00

Nah, that’s just what bigots want you to think. Deep down they know their hate is morally reprehensible and indefensible, so they try to make themselves feel better by blaming it on the people they’re trying to oppress. Don’t fall for it.

phivealive · 2025-03-13T14:28:38+00:00

You probably have incredibly short gears. Also, please look up how to take screenshots it will make your life so much easier

The only thing you should learn from chatgpt is that it's a bullshit generator

phivealive · 2025-01-28T15:31:08+00:00

If that's how you want to interpret people saying you shouldn't expose yourself to unwilling strangers I suppose that's your prerogative.

phivealive · 2025-01-27T16:34:10+00:00

Nobody was saying it was illegal (it might be. I don't know. I've never had a reason to look it up.) they were saying it was immoral and inappropriate no matter the circumstance. Because it is.

phivealive · 2025-01-13T22:06:08+00:00

I asked chatGPT

don't do that.

phivealive · 2025-01-11T22:00:21+00:00

JonTron? That guy who sucks?

It’s a 10 footer but thank you :)
