After some small teething issues with its debut last week, we were back yesterday at WSID for its second outing. We were really happy with the overall car set-up going into this outing and we were looking forward to a good night out
As usual, the car gets a quick look over before it heads out. A quick adjustment of the wheel alignment at the track and tyre pressure adjustment and the car was set for battle.
First run was fair from perfect. We had a good launch (1.6 60ft) but the car felt very sluggish throughout the run. Going back to the laptop and we noticed a check engine light for IAT. Somehow this was unplugged. Easy fix, plug it back in and VTEC and VTC are working again. Even without VTEC and VTC we still managed a 12.0@111mph
Second run out, with all system working fine, we ran 11.2@119mph. Temps were getting higher with the blocked front end, so we will be looking into this small issue next outing. Target reached for the night. All seem very easy for the car, so we knew there was definitely more in it. We were still shifting normally and taking it easy on the gearbox
Third and fourth run were the best of the night. Cracking a new pb on the 60ft of 1.607, the car was running
11.1 @121mph back to back. Its a great achievement to say the least, which is now the
Quickest K-series All Motor in OZ. Over the years, many have tried to get this title, we are so proud that we have acutally done it with such a basic package.
The most satisfying part of it all is when you get everyone looking at the car, wondering if its turbo charged, supercharged or running NOS. Like we tell everyone, its the good old Honda K-series 4 cylinder. We had nothing to hide and left the engine bay open in between the runs. I think we have surprised and impressed alot of people with this car. These Wednesday outings are great, we caught with fans and friends, meet new people, made new friends and further put the Honda pressence back in the drag racing community.
The car will now have a few weeks off as we get ready for WTAC with our other car. We are hoping our good form will carry on at WTAC!. During this time, a GEAR-X Gearset will be installed and new camshafts will be tested and tune on the drag car. We are going for the 10.8 record held by Online Performance CRX next time out! We wont be holding out on this engine. We know we have one crack at the record, so all components will be push to the limits especially this OEM K24 bottom end
Big shout out to all people who were involved and helped with the drag car, friends and fans showing their support at the drags
