Hi yall, I'm toying with the idea of moving to SM with the 89 Civic Si. And I'm new to SM. I've spent some time reading rules and posts, but I have some...
AFAIK, everything you listed is okee dokee.... Maybe someone can confirm that the Hasport motor mount kits are ok? Question tho... Why a '93 LS motor? Mike...

There's nothing inherantly illegal about the car described. The mount kit just needs to be a bolt in type (i.e. you can't cut the mounts off the frame of an...
Yeah.... I am explicitly forbidded from widening my frame rails to fit the bigger engine and "inconsequentially" moving my control arm pickup points out. ...
I'm going to have to side with Steve on this one. That 'clarification' does nothing to clear up the issue of using bolt on brackets to relocate suspension...
The new SM 18.1.K wording in FasTrack says in part: "Modifications to the firewall in order to allow for increased engine setback, ...are explicitly...
... You can have all the setback you can arrange for - but not by modifying the firewall. Read closely, the rule does not disallow changing the setback, just ...

Something dawned on me at today's autox while talking to Dave H. about the current debates here... it is sort of funny and a small apology is due. I sensed an...
You're not allowed to modify the firewall to get more setback, period. You're assuming stock as a reference for comparison, but it doesn't say, "you can't...
Yeah, to get this outta the way quickly........ What exactly IS a suspension pickup point? Ah, despite that being pretty straightforward to me, that seems to...

So, doesn't the new rule imply that there are other valid reasons where you could modify the firewall??? Can I "dimple" the firewall to run a larger diameter...
There are a few companies that sell engine transplant kits, and they allow you to bolt the Integra motor right into the Civic. No cutting necessary. The other...
Good luck, we ... Thanks for the help! I'm surprised nobody has done this yet. Oh well. Anyone know what Daddio's Neon weighs? The Civic could be good...
