Few odds and ends from Honda :)
Quarter glass, push nuts for front bumper emblem, a couple decals that were still available (one even says Type R 8-) )

Yes! These are my list of parts to assemble prior to paint.

The primed sides look superb. The body lines are sharp.

You could call me square, but I’m just trying to keep it on the level. Image

They’re a set from goracin through eBay
~$380 shipped. Weight for the set is ~30 lbs.

They are pretty basic, not nearly as polished/well produced as intercomp or longacre levelers, (as you can see the paint is already flaked off the tips) but plenty sturdy and will work for me.

I thought about trying to make a set but even without the cost of materials that’s a lot of work to get squared up and welded.

Sure thing!

The main idea was actually less about corner weighting since I don’t have enough time/experience on the track for that to really be of a lot of value but I wanted a better way to do the chassis setup as I get suspension installed and adjusted.

Specifically I wanted to be able to use hubstands (ironically these seem to be the last thing to ship) for access to tighten suspension/bushings without the wheels on but with the car sitting naturally.

The hubstands/scales/levelers will also make alignments easier/faster with the string kit. It also means as I get the shell back I should be able to grab generic weights to share with the community.
