Well today at the Sat arvo Sprints i did a 59.9 in the last session of the day but there was 20 cars in our group and got held up by traffic almost every lap, i was consistently running mid - low 60's.
Has there been any other street registered Integras that have done better than this time?
congrats..
i dont think anyone has ..
the closest was centrax i belive in their dc5 with a 60sec
Centrax have done 60.5ish and Evan with the JDM DC5R has done 60.3, don't know of anyone quicker than that in teg and the only honda i know of is Rob and his CRX.
Oh and i'm talking 4 cyl NA...
Info on your car?

So it's had a little bit of work done on it
Not bad, not bad at all :)
Thats Awesome!! Well done. Sorry i couldn't make it this time, i'm still in melbourne for work.
Nice job! :thumbsup:
weather was nice and cool for some fast times.
It wasn't actually that cool, friends with the GT3's only managed 59's and other guy did 61's, was definitely cooler than the first one tho.Quote:

Looks like the Hoosier worth there money in gold! good job on time.
good shit. does centrax race any more these days? since steve knows everything in the entire world, shouldn't there car be hitting 55's lmao
Nice time Tony!!
Those tyres definately are worth every dollar to shave the time off, Gratz!
nice work man, your selling it ay... whats next?
Centrax have too much work to race. However they are in the process of building a very quick car for a customer. SHould be a lot faster than my teg.Quote:

Anyway pretty slack to be a keyboard warrior, they do know alot of info and they have always been very helpful to me. :thumbsup:
^ hahahah....i saw that post Chris....lol
but back to the actual subject, I thought there was a JDM DC2R that also was doing under 60s, maybe i am wrong.
Centrax don't race anymore because they know that they're going to be beaten. There is no doubt that their car is EXTREMELY quick for what it is BUT...they do not believe in healthy competition. This has been evident ever since the Hi-Power CRX started competing at the QR sprints.
By the way, Barefoot IS right. Stephen knows so much he can even tell when your Genuine Spoon brakes are fake :)
LMAO!!Quote:

oh and did i mention that Steven is so polite to SOME of his customers :rolleyes:
I stopped going there a long time ago purely because of the way I was treated and the reason i wont go there ever again. :wave:
two words that describe Steven (F*%ING RUDE!)
BTW look forward to seeing you on the track Steven
(QUOTE) I dont see why you are criticising them because they do know a hell of a lot and in terms of their car it isn't making huge power. 60.5 with their setup is very good, there times are so due to the sussy and brake setup.
Hmmm i guess 15* KW isnt good enough anymore
however, i think chris is a really nice guy... im pretty sure alot of other ppl who have actually spoken to him b4 would agree
ill second that (chris has done nothing but help me)
Steven on the other hand ........
Might want to get your facts straigh because i own the highest HP NA integra in qld and it makes 148-150kw. Centrax car makes 135-140kw.Quote:

And just because hi power racing's crx does a 58 doesn't mean they are the best shop around, might kind of help that the person steering it has a lot more skill behind the wheel than most ppl who go to QR. And thats nothing against rob or hi power, just get sick off ppl speaking shit about my car and about other ppl's cars and businesses just because their times aren't as good. So what i go out to have fun and better my driving skills, i dont care whether or not i'm the fastest and i really dont think centrax do either. They are focusing their business in other areas and due to this success they no longer have time to go to QR. And half the ppl who have made comments about them dont go to the track either.
Since everyone is a ****ing know it all lets all see you run a sub 60sec lap.
If you dont wanna comment about the topic of the thread dont post at all.
225/45/R17 Hoosier S03
how do u find these tyres ???
i think ive met you once.. u had a048 b4 these.. how do they compare ? ?
Lets put it this way, if you don't have money comming out of your pockets, Steven from Centrax doesn't even have a second to spare to talk to you. I know they are good business guys cause he can talk shit all day long, and convince guys with big wallets to spend big.
And yep, couldn't agree more that his brother Chris is a top guy. But all it takes is one guy to spoil it.
A048 were good, but for the amount of power i have i can't get traction out of corners. Evan with the white JDM DC5 has gone to 255 A048's in order to get traction out of corners.Quote:

I am happy with them at this stage altho i am sure wider semi's would do the same job. Just thought i would try something different.
See you at QR next time then :D
Thats funny because i have never spent a lot of money buying products off them. I go there to get my car serviced, etc and thats it, i buy pads and i bought my BC wing from them and other than some bits to fix up my sussy thats it. Under 1500 in parts, not exactly a big spender.Quote:

Most of the ppl who go their do so because centrax are quite pedantic about the work they do to make sure its done right.
Lets just leave it at that!
So does anyone know about a JDM DC2 doing 59's? I know Evan has a JDM DC2 but i dont think he did a 59?? Myabe he could have but he hasn't had that car at QR for quite some time.
ive always found steven and chris to be very helpful. sometimes i dont agree with some of the advice they give me but when it comes to suspension, they seem to be right on the mark.
im a bit of a tight ass so i've never bought parts from them, simply because i can import them myself for less but when it comes to service, i can't fault them. they always find time for my car.
i cant talk for anyone else's experiences with them but its a bit disappointing to see all this disrespect for them. i have my own gripes with other tuners and i don't go online and talk shit about them. maybe i'm just more mature than that.
comparing knowledge based on faster track times is rubbish. anyone who knows the two cars knows that its not even the same competition. as far as i know, centrax won the sprint competition a couple of years back but they weren't shooting for it. yeh, i'm sure after they realised they were leading the points, for half the season, they went for it, but the reason why they track is to test their products themselves rather than rely on 2nd hand knowledge and advice from japan. makes sense, after all, we have different roads, different weather and different climate conditions.
isn't the hi power crx completely stripped with some ridiculous power to weight ratio? and isn't it driven by a professional race car driver, as opposed to a mechanic?
give me the fastest car in the world and i bet i couldnt drive it faster around QR than a professional race car driver driving a honda jazz.
oh by the way, if you don't like their service, you needn't worry. last time i was in there, i was told that with all the corporate deals they're signing, they no longer have time to run the service side of their business and soon will no longer be taking on any new customers. so if you've never experienced their help, guidance and time, then unfortunately, you probably never will. just as well for those who didn't like them in the first place.
I think all those who are hating Centrax don't know what they are talking about. If you knew your stuff, you would realise that they are good guys who take care of their customers. When it comes to running a business, you don't have time for people who only use you for your knowledge. If that's all you want, google it.
Go Figure.
Thats all well and good but when you have spent $1000+ there you deserve some respect.
Not the shit Steven throws my way.
Evan did 61.x. And there "was" a black dc2r did 62 but not anymore LOLQuote:

Doesn't make sense from a business point of view.
So good business is all about ranking the ppl you do business with.
I dont know about everyone else but i thought good business is treat ALL your customers with respect.

When did i ever say i wanted some sort of handout???
Theres a difference between respect and getting shit cheaper or for free
calm down girls.
Its these kinds of threads that make people wanna stay home and not go to the track in the first place.
Keep it nice children.
To OP: Was this time a once off? Or did you replicate it a few times within say .1 to .2 of a second?
I've seen evidence of timming errors personally from the SAS, from my own car back in 04 and just this last weekend my friend in my old N/A starlet getting a 63. :rolleyes:
Until timming at SAS is done with transponders I will always be wary of the element of human error, regardless of the overall outstanding job the people upstairs do.
If people are not going to the track because of other people and their times then that is sad really. However if it IS due to other commitments or lack of motivation then let them be, its called priorities.
And in anticipation of those that know me asking why I have not hit the track in a long time, I've got other commitments and more important things going on in my life that I put having fun out there on the back burner.... for a while. Sacrificing myself now and securing my future and the future of my lady is more important at this point in time.
You guys should be more worried about having fun and seeing how far you can push your machines and your own driving abilities, than concern yourselves with the activities of others.
thats good to hear your still alive adrian :D
is ur gbox fixed ?? u & M getting married soon ?? :P :P
congrats on the time mate! That's an awesome effort and you did it without your mirrors too, hehe. :thumbsup:
oh and Chris and steven have always been very helpful and generous to me.
SPEEDCORE, in the first post he mentioned getting consistent 60.XXs before breaking into the 50's so it seems the time should be accurate.
I totally agree.Quote:

When i tracked my car it was a non-timed event and you know what... it let me enjoy myself a lot more. Some ppl really do speak a lot of shit about other people and their times, why? to give themselves a sense of superiority or to boost their ego? who knows.
I'd like to go to queensland raceway and see what I can do with the car, but if certain people are there stairing me down because I can't break into the 60's or something I'd rather just go to morgan park raceway and have some fun away from the judgmental types.
some people really should take their own adviceQuote:
Reason was because there is too many dicks that are just on here to put people down and talk shit so i had to say something.
I've also only ever bought a few parts from centrax but still receive great customer service as does anyone else I've spoken to that's been to them.
someone does a 59 in a dc5r and others start spinning shit about a local business where the guy services his car and buys his break pads? interesting.
I did in three seesions on i am guessing laps where i didn't get held up much by traffic (20 cars in a group) a 60.27, 60.85, 60.97, 60.57, 60.99, 60.59, 59.94, 60.32.
Anyways i'll be at the track next wed for the sprint and hopefully the groups will be much smaller and organised by similar times so that i can get some good fast laps together.
Thanks to all those have been supportive. Like i siad i only go out there to have fun but its always rewarding to do good times :)
Haha yeah I heard its getting pretty crazy out there.Quote:

and those that think you need to spend big with a shop and expect to be treated "special" then most of you would probably fall over and die if you found out how much you need to spend at Louis Vuitton per month to become a VIP member....LOL
Guys, keep all replys on topic and constructive. Anyone spamming will receive an infraction
ooi.. ooi.. ooi..
What has this all got to do with me?? hahaha...
Firstly 59.9 is like scratching the sub 60secs by the skin of a fly's dick...no need to show off (we did a 59.4 with or b16a1 in our crx)
However I believe "bachlor" can do better times especially with the cooler climate coming in.. and we all look forward to that - congrats!
With Centrax I think they are not so fast these days, but come on they were the forefathers of racing in QLD and for that it is well deserved. And did you know that Centrax a couple of years ago had an EG sedan that did below 60secs (correct me if im wrong, so as i said sub 60 is yesterdays news).
I have never met Chris or Stephen, but i think they must be pretty okay to have so many people defending them. I think we all should leave businesses alone - period.
Also, I choose to race with a lighter car - that is just called motorsports. I have never seen a full trim Japanese GT race car. My car is an all purpose track car (that we drive on the road to reduce towing charges). Everybody knows that a race car does not have interior trim; it's like comparing the K-series to a B-series = 15 years more development.
We might not have a flash workshop (mainly due to the fact my dad is not a millionaire) but i do believe in the work we do, and we have the results to PROVE IT. We believe in spending money wisely and making the right choices (E.g. Whats the point of 6 pot brakes in a standard car?) and shti times to prove it.
And to comment on my driving skill - i'm a hopeless driver, but who says that a owner of a casino must be the best gambler? We are a performance shop and that is what I want to do, I want to built fast car not race them personally; I cherish my life more haha.
I am lucky that my 2 best buddys are robbie nyugen and jerome kennedy(we will be building a s15 drift car together). i initially built my car for robbie as he was bugging me built it for him to bring it out for the weekend sprint meets. when we built the car we never expected to kick ass.. but i just did it the best way i knew how... and it worked hahaha. Yes they are the best drivers in qlds but i know for a fact if our work was not up to scratch or if they think we are going to get our ass kicked they will not voluntarily ask me to built the cars for them..
End of the day the moral of this tread is:
Business' names like Centrax or mine should not be dragged into treads like that (huh barefoot..haha)
Bachelor did 59.9 - again, congrats you have done well, and we look forward to racing your car in the drags and track - but bro this time no excuses.. ;)
We also look forward to you servicing you cars with us. Knowing that you have spent so much with Centrax.. I need food too.. lol ... maybe not, im too fat!
Sigh, i missed the days with Clio, EK4, Jazz, HRV, DC2Rs, DC5Rs...etc on the track. The happy moments....
That's correct, Centrax did have a eg sedan that did 60s on QR Sprint track.
I've heard good things about Hi Power Racing too...and I hope to take my car to you to get serviced someday, since you're close to where I am most of the time.
Ivan you're such a girl. Y don't you just say what you really think, hahaha. I was taking a direct stab at Steven cause his a rude f uck. Too bad it turned into a workshop slug.
Just for all you Centrax fans. Many of my friends where good customers with Centrax untill they released they were getting f ucked over. Quick example would be recommending someone with a carby civic to buy a $2000+ exhaust system, this actually happened and he did listen and buy it... If you think this is good advice, Centrax is the place for you.
I think what Ivan (hipowerracing) is saying is totally correct.
everyone needs to stop whining about this sorta stuff (businesses in particular), particularly in such a rude way
no one that operates a business will take money by gun-point but of course if they believe in their products they will make a reccomendation.
If you take the advice but are not happy with it in the end, don't shop there anymore. Simple.
no need to ruin a thread that was initially about a track time.
I'm more interested in a dc5r getting into the 50's then some arguing back and forth between members with a chip on their shoulder about something i frankly don't know about (or want to know about).
And just so we can clarify who is being 'rude' here
"rude: discourteous or impolite, esp. in a deliberate way: a rude reply."
calling someone a 'rude ****' intern makes you rude. Please show some maturity, if you have a problem bring it up in a respectable way and maybe others will bother listening to your complaint.

wow this thread has gone way of topic...
Congrats on the time dude...very respectable
KW doesnt mean anything, u need to get out their and show that ur car can do the times. If u have a beasty engine and it doesnt perform thne wats the point of that... :thumbdwn:

i think that is much more accurate
Anything that is out of topic for this, we will start handing out points and CLOSE THIS THREAD...

nah, i think the point is totally relevant.
Tony has a weapon of a car, but getting into the 50's also takes a lot of driver skill (especially in traffic) and i think that point is being overlooked.
the car matters but the driver matters more :)
i was talkin to a guy that's part of a pit crew and he was saying that their driver always says that if the driver can't drive a slow car fast, how are you gonna be able to drive a fast car fast.
yea it's a good point too.
one of the best mods would be to get some driver training haha, would like to find out about that.
Ok if your crx is so fast put yourself or someone beside rob behind the wheel and see what times you do.... Not saying the car is slow but i think anyone else would be struggling to do anything under 60secs.Quote:

As other ppl have said doing a good time is 70% driver skill, the crx is a lot faster than me in a straight line and should be quicker than me round the track especially with a driver like rob behind the wheel.
I CHALLENGE ANYONE OTHER THAN ROB TO DO A SUB 60 SEC LAP SINCE ITS SO EASY. ;)
good result tony - been a long time coming - but you're finally there.
Shame your steering in the karting wasn't as impressive :P
some of us sydney boys might be coming up some time this year to had a crack at the qld raceway. Lets see wat our cars are capable of in QLD. :p
I wanna get my DC5R into the 50 something seconds at the qr sprints. It's not easy, and definately takes a heap of skill. Well done Ivan!!!
^ civiconboost = tony if that's who you're reffering to?
Dude i go to QR for fun, i posted this thread to see if any other integras had done under 60secs. I didn't post it to start a huge shit fight, but all the keyboard warriors turned it into that.Quote:

I agree your crx is quick i even said its quicker than my car in a striaght line and around the circuit, and yes it cost less than my car, so why have a go at me? You can't not say that the driver doesn't play a big part in what times a car is capable of. I bought my car cause i liked it, i modded it the way i wanted it to be and still be an everyday car, not to be the quickest car on 4 wheels.
I'm not a great driver, i go out there to have fun and enjoy my car and try to improve my driving thats all, doing good times is a bonus.
I dont appreciate personal attacks and i dont see the point of being keyboard warriors, never had a problem with any of you guys or your business so why start shit. Why you have to go and say shit about me and centrax behind our backs i dont know, i dont really care, but if it makes you sleep at night great.
I have nothing to prove, if you and others think my car is slow thats great, if you think i waste my money, thats great too, i earn and i'll waste it as i see fit.
I'm not here to start shit, just asked a question and end up being the bad guy. Anyways i'm out :)
love all round
Hahaha no way i would beat rob's times, and i doubt i could do under 60 in your car, who knows, i'd like to have a steer just to see what it is like to drive...
As i have said above i fully agree with 99% of what you said but it seemed as tho you were having a go at me, misinterpretaion maybe, who knows.
Anyways props where props is deserved as i have said many times. Rob is a ****ing awesome driver and i would never even put my driving any where near in the class of his hence why you can understand i am happy with what i have acheived as you are with how quick the crx has been from day 1.
I'll take up ur offer of having a steer, but i can tell u now i wont break 60 lol, cause i cant drive.
quality ozhonda ivan. now you understand y so many arguments break out.
sweet as - see all you guys next track day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do you think I got my avatar picture from :)Quote:
