Nice looking race car,its a pity that real racers are not very popular on this forum but street racers are.Shame.
I hope you do well in it.

[androo]

Cool! Will you be posting any further details about the car? Or is it a mystery? :)

[patchwick]

Awesome

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your kind words. I have raced the car three times since it was "finished" and for what is a failry standard car I am happy with its performance although it needs to be quicker. Apart from the necessary safety equipment mods, the only things done so far are bigger brakes (283mm), Apexi ECU, 68mm throttle body and a close ratio geabox. I am currently fitting urethane suspension bushes and GAZ coil over adjustable shocks. Once I save some more money I will build a higher performance motor. I am not looking for an outright competitive car, just some thing to race midfield with reliability.

I will psot some more photros over coming days
Cheers
Philip

you'll find that not many people have the money to get into proper racing and just want a few mods here and there for the occasional trackday

Congratulations on taking the jump into motorsport! The problem is, it doesn't matter how much you develop your car, you will always want to have it go faster :cool:

But it's good to see you are approaching your participation in the correct manner - develop the handling, brakes and driveline, then spend money on the motor! It's the development of the motor that sucks up the most funds...............

To answer "Curtis265"- no it is not street legal. Trim and non essential parts have been removed to reduce weight as allowed within the IPRA rules.

Sadlerau- This is not my first race car. As a surprise to many on here I am an old dude who has been racing for 32 years, so know how to get the maximum results for the minimum money. You would be surprised at how little the car has cost me to this stage.

Nice car. Hope to see you post regularly on here.

[curtis265]

met a few old dudes like yourself

love your wealth of knowlege, hopefully you can share more experiences :)

Saw this car at the last round at Eastern Creek. Always good to watch the unders, great racing! Nice little car by the way. :)

Nice car mate

Any reason it has a black rocket™ cover?

[Fraser]

What is a "rocket cover"" ?

[sadlerau]

What is a "rocket cover"" ?

I think he means the "rocker" cover, as in cams & rocker arms. Perhaps he was expecting Type R red??

[FAITHLESS]

He's making a joke.

Yeah- that is what was on it when I bought the car.

I agree Under 2l is the most competitive group, which is why I upgraded to the Integra from my old car. The front runing five or six cars- Civics, Corolla, Pulsar, would all qualify in the top 7 places in the Overs race. It is interesting to note that even the slowest Under 2l car is quicker than the slowest Over 2l cars.

Good to see more Honda race cars. Im sure there will be plenty more next year!

Under 2litres looks like a fun class to compete
