Hi All :wave:

I'm currently running around in an Evolution VI GSR and after seeing a few expensive cars fall off the track, am now considering a little Civic Track car to play with instead of the Evo...

The EG & EK Civic's at SuperLap looked like good cars to aspire to! :thumbsup:

Hehe, I'd rather be replacing $5k worth of Honda over >$25k worth of Evo!!
Will be back in an Evo eventually I hope...

Plus the Insurance on the Evo is ridiculous!! And if I prang it on the track I get diddly, if I prang it while hooning on the streets I get me $$$...
Sounds fair eh!

Welcome RJ
I think you'll spend more than $5K on an EG/EK.
Nice Evo!

Welcome to Ozhonda RJ

She looks like a Beaut'

Should bring the Evo down to the upcoming Monthly Meet then sell it and start work on a EG :p

^ He will, But if you total a EG on the track its cheaper to replace.

Not to mention easier to fix. And cheaper to fix!
If you're really keen, get a ED6 or EF9.. They're hectic and oldschool!

Your Evo makes me dump loads... Very beautiful :)

Hi mate,welcome! True about the Evo's rolling at the tracks aye.Honda's are stiff,low and flat and less prone to this I believe.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, $5k for car then however many $$ to get it going faster. If I ruin the shell, swap to another $5k body...

The white EG at SuperLap with the FMIC was an interesting beast!
Is the owner a member here?

Ah sorry I thought you meant $5k and then you're racing.
After the Evo I don't think you'll settle for anything less than a B swapped EG and that's where the dollars start racking up.

Funny enough, for the price of a 2nd hand K20 I can buy a brand new Evo IX MIVEC engine :eek: 4G63 conversion anyone?? :p


Well if I ever miss having a turbo spool, can always go for one of these:

Yeah but I think the Honda is a better platform to start with, has better aftermarket parts!

I'm trying to stay way from turbo at the moment.

Took the Evo down to Wakefield on Good Friday and managed a 1:09.5 driving like a complete numpty!! Haven't been to the track for 6mths or so :(

By the time I sorted myself out, I started getting boost cut issues so was restricted to short shifting at 4,000rpm... But still managed a 1:09.9! :p

It's going to be hard selling the Evo :eek::(:(:(
