Would be helpful to analyse your driving line and pinpoint what's needed to improve your lap times.
Putting lap times aside, Don't let lap time whores intimidate you.
I think it's most important you had a fun, safe and enjoyable day. Don't worry if your time is not up to scratch. Everyone starts somewhere. I've seen an EVO X doing 1:30 if that makes you feel better.
yeah should get a go-pro cam. im planning to get one from the states when the dollar goes up.
i agree with Poeter. i have never tracked but i hope i do have heaps of fun when i do regardless of my performance.
i'll ask my bro for his videos cause he was recording his in the prelude. he showed me how to properly do corners and his mate took me in the sti around the track too so i kinda get how their entering it. last session i was infront of the evo for halfway then had to let him overtake. just need to work on my braking, got the hang of braking hard entering sharp/apex then getting out wide. would love to go again next time but the drive is so long, ec would be better but the walls =s
is there meant to be alot of understeering?
dw bro. Next time sydney HK will b there and will show u the ropes :) having said that i dont know what HK stands for or who he isQuote:

nah getting my oil changed tmr dont thinkk ive got the money for another track day atm
How much did it cost? Where u go?
Only $110 for open day at Wakefield
i went to shift trackday 170 for it + 50 for yearly wakefield licence. pain of getting there and back 2full tanks of petrol required for whole day.
oil change filter is gonna cost around <180 ?
More Prictice and the willingness to throw your car into corners harder will ensure a better result next time.Quote:

That's bad dude.
Ain't as bad as getting nicked on the rear... I seriously want to repaint the bumper lip but it's gonna look off but I'm pedantic...
What do u guys usually fill up with in Sydney?
BP ultimate, Mobile 98, Shell, Caltex?
Notice any difference between them?
Check this page out, we were talking about it before. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...Type-R/page825
I normally use Caltex but slowly moving over to BP.
Bloody bastards bro ! Hope karma comes back n bites them on the ass !Quote:

I've just heard mixed opinions..... But everyone seem to like BP, but too bad it doesnt have discount coupons :DQuote:

I guess if you had the time you can try each one and see which one works best for your car.
Car is not a daily, more for weekend driving so a bit hard to compare :(Quote:

If you do a lot of long distance driving I'd prolly recommend going voltex(caltex).
But if you're findin you're just filling the tank up every two weeks, just use Bp and fill up when the prices have dropped. V-power, IMO, no power grunt and burns quite quickly.
Hi 5!
How did ur windscreen go? Got it fixed? I actually got a chip in my windscreen too :(
Nah i'll only probs fill up every 2 weeks or so. So i guess BP it is :).
windscreen's great now! was going to tint the original but since this new one has a tint already, i'm thinking of tinting the driver's and passenger side windows.
If you've got a chip on the windscreen, get it fixed asap. Wouldn't want it to turn into a huge crack later on.
the crack on my windscreen was only 1/4 of the windscreen when it first cracked, but due to the bumpy roads of NSW, crack actually increased to half the windscreen.
so recommend getting chips filled in asap to avoid cracks from happening.
ouch kev, hope those bastards get the same thing happening to them. but i gotta say, coleslaw>crack anyday.
was anyone on humehighway lansvale area during the day yesterday? it had black rims with red lip i think
spotted a seriously extremely hot asian chick driving an cw ep3 at cumberland m4 exit! no uk flag badge
Omg omg omg ! !Quote:

Hey guys just put a deposit yesterday on an 05 from IMG. Seriously the next 2 weeks feel like a lifetime can't wait to drive it away! What are your experiences with daily driving the ep3? Atm i'm driving an s2000 and the mrs micra. Our plan is to daily drive the civic, give the micra to my mother in law and keep the s2k for weekends. Anyone here commute to the city?
Mind if I ask the price you had paid for it?Quote:

hahaha I will say the opposit he will touch the S to make it more fun to drive.Quote:

@PeppeX: They have more cars in stock than what's on their site. I don't think their site is updated often..
hopefully no1 bought the one with two different recaros inside. sr3 and sr4
Its not on their site yet as it just landed and i put a deposit on it before they put it up i think.
yeah another FL EP3, let me guess the colour of the car, championship white?? do i win a prize if i am right lol
It's nhb :D
if its factory colour, no chance in hell to be a nhb mate. they only do CW or silver for JDM FL..........Quote:
Originally Posted by JohnO

could be a really rare one
PFL has CW, red, nhb and silver (only on C package)
FL only has CW and silver (only on C package).
nhb do exist on FL, but I think it is only for the EDM model??
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:L...=16339&t=1&t=1
there is also gun metal too but as i said i was only referring to JDM model.
Didn't IMG bring in the UKDM (EDM) models?
Yup. Did u get ur card holder ?Quote:

So i tested to see if he was following me so i made a couple of turns and the cop still followed. So one of my mates house was on the street i was on so i turned into his driveway and the dog drove off. Then on the way home i saw the cop car again lol with lights on...had pulled over a rav4 LOL.
since when are ep3's starting to get attention from cops?

too many sik****s ripping it around cabra trying to impress schoolgirls, thats whats fueling coppers attention!
nah probably he/she thought youd be an easy target since you drive a honda and try to defect/fine you for some insignificant reason. ive been seeing those rta speedo trailers everywhere since i got back from japan and just 200m down the road theres a blue patrol with the camera attached to the car.
Spotted CW EP3 on George St, North Strathfield late this afternoon, AHV73C.. anyone here? :)
yeh should have researched 1st:thumbdwn:Quote:
