SLOWPOKE goes short course racing

[SLOWPOKE693]

These 2024 R4 front control arms that were sent to me by another member here got delivered yesterday! I have to order ball joints and bushings for them before I put them on but I still need to finish the car so not a big deal to wait on parts.....

And on another note...... The carbon fiber hood and center console will be here Wednesday!

When I was running the American Racer and Hoosier dirt track tires at 10psi front and 12psi rear beadlocks all the way around were a necessity. With the Hoosier Bites I run now they work best at 18-20psi and beadlocks are not necessary on the fronts. I'll never run non-beadlocked rear wheels though, I learned my lesson but luckily it wasn't the hard way. Trying to make the car accelerate quicker i decided to try 4 rear stock wheels. I won the race that this happened in and the tire didn't loose a single PSI but I think one more corner and I would have went from hero to zero.

How do you like the hoosier bites? I have been running 4 stock rears for 3 years now, for short course rallycross. Are the hoosier bites to narrow? They only make them 9wide.
By the way I login to hondasxs just to see what you are working on. Great work with all the pics and explanations I have learned some pretty cool stuff from your build. I haven't done much at all to my talon, that being said it's very exciting to see all the improvements you have made to yours.

They hook up good and are fairly light for an offroad tire. The width doesn't seem to be a hindrance either.

Thanks!

This stuff is super high quality and way to nice for a race car. Sure looks good though....
