Just want to share an great achievement with the car yesterday testing day down at Wakefield Park.
Since the install of the new engine package (b20vtec) and some changes to the car chasis component (no roll cage) the car needed some adjustment to fine tune it to suit the track.
Overall, it was a very good day, with only 10cars yesterday and heaps of track time, we were able to try a few different things. Along the way, there were a few hiccups but we'll keep that to ourselves. No need to make excuses.
At the end of the day, the car clocked a new pb of 1:07.7 with consistent low to flat 1:08's towards the end of the day. All recorded on an XT racing lap timer
With this result, it shows that a simple engine and chasis set-up can net an great time. There is nothing special done to the car, just keeping it simple.
Watch out for the cars result in the upcoming Supersprint rounds. We are expecting some good lap times now with this car package.
Well done guys. Does this mean itll be ready for first round of super sprints?

we'll need to upgrade pads now. Looking at DS3000. DS2500 pads are great, good from cold and doesnt fade much.
We are using some rubbish pads in the rears. Found them lying at the wreckers hahaha.
I heart the SSS

Nah wasnt driving, if you havnt heard we hire a professional driver to give it a steer. Guess it was worth the investment.
So did Benny drive it, or hired help, maybe in the name of John, im guessing here?

hey maybe you can do some laps at Oran Park then rip it to WSID for some Compak Attak :thumbsup:
Look fwd to see your weekend results on Natsoft as always fatboyz39.
No doubt if all goes well this weekend will put a ppl's nose out of joint ie those with much fancier machineries and I dont just mean other Hondas but thoroughbred sports cars at the track also.
Good to see bling free backyard well-built FF car can break into the 67s at WP!

You guys rock... well done! Super quick!! 1.07's must feel very quick. 1.08's in the Proconcept civic had me shitting bricks. In a GTR or WRX... it's ok, normal. But NA Civic's being THAT quick... it's amazing.
AMG CLK 63 Black series does 1.08s around WP, Porsche GT2 997 does 1.05s...
A civic doing 1.07s is a very very good result in comparison!

Oh this is the car, excellent. Where can I get a shifter as tall as that?! My DC2R one is way too short in my EG :(
What suspension are you guys running in the car? Can you PM me spring rates and tyres etc. if you don't mind?
Just a suggestion with regards to the car, if you're running it at that height you will probably see a further improvement in lap time if you raise it a little... perhaps 10-15mm will help

Man i'm so jealous right now... So used to seeing it with dust and shit all over it at Wakefield. When it's clean, WOW!! That is the freaking coolest interior I have ever seen. The Engine bay is awesome too. I can't believe you have a Spoon Cluster!!!
SO FREAKING AWESOME! Good job guys.

Fastline performance shifter.
Running Ohlins coilovers with unknown spring rates.
As for height, it was lowered for the photoshoot. :thumbsup:
