What is going on? I am a 16 year Honda Tech. I currently am installing a J32A2 in my EG hatch for road racing. I work 6 days a week and play on my days off. I have driven (HPDE) on VIR (Virgina International Raceway) and CMP (Carolina Motorsports Park) several times and found lateral G's to be more fun than a blast down the 1/4 mile. SCCA member Since 1996 and NASA member since 2003. Currently working on my Instructor's license.
and I still spell like a four year old.
Over the years I can safely say the J series is one of the most reliable long blocks on the market. Whether its a 3.0 or the new 3.7, all of them are hard to break. I did the 3rd T- belt on a customers J30 last week (300k miles) and the cam seal were original and still not leaking.
Looking forward to driving my pig soon and seeing what breaks first :).

welcome and thanks for posting up. I drove the patriot course at VIR in March. Just starting to get into road racing. I'd love to check out your setup at some point and i'm sure i could use your experience when i get going on mine. I would be down to head to some local hpde events as well if you are.

I was in socal a few weeks ago and was at the compton street races. Met a guy they call "wicked" that's part of sonic racing or something like that? He showed a very strong interest in a J swap and it seemed like he was going to look into doing one soon...

[KhanhCord]

i've only been there once... not the place where i'd go to hang out.. :D

btw , those are miata wheels upthere?

[wolydotmatrix]

yes, those are indeed Miata wheels. We had to mill out the center bore to fit the civic hub.. super light weight. Off-sets are similar.
I will post up the links to my brother running Dover this weekend.
