Nice launch! I can see that MFactory LSD going to work for you. I can't wait to run with mine!
I think I misunderstood your motorsport interests when first posted, sorry about that. I am obviously a drag freak, even though my car is probably better equipped for the mountain roads and road racing.
Looks like a solid compression boost N/A build. Are you going to stick with OEM valve retainers and keepers?Last edited by af_1132; 01-15-2015, 04:42 PM.*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

Absolutely gorgeous country. It surprised me how different Oregon looked than what I pictured in my head previous to going there.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Beautiful pictures.
This is a wonderful build, really jealous of the car to be honest.
I am really surprised you stuck with the F22A, though i like that you did.
RIP my last two CB7s.

I have to say along with Ronald Type R's old Prelude this is an awesome build.
Definitely cool to see you stuck with the single cam as well.Henry R

A few photos and update:
Soooo basically I redid the front steering and suspension, new tie rods, ball joints, sway bar bushings, end links and etc. Installed a rear spoiler to help with high speed cornering and fight lift off oversteer. Also put the ZII's on and got a fresh alignment. Took it out for a weekend of street testing, and ultimately crashed into the side of a mountain.
It drove so perfectly and felt so good, but I was one a less than ideal road that was paved with what seemed to be river rock making it very slick and well came around right hand corner, rear end slid out, I powered out of it but the tire grip caught so hard that it threw the front end direction to the left and I ultimately nose dove into the side of a mountain facing the direction I came up.
Just some core support and bumper damage but......... in the end I made the decision to part the prelude out and pursue a street build with a different chassis rather than repairing and retaining a track car that I push on public roads.
