The Proconcept EK Civic is a weapon of a Honda and like the CRX enjoyed 'bullying' GT-R's and Evolution's in the group.

The team actually expected to be racing with Toda Australia's Civic and Integra which where listed in the initial competitors list - http://www.superlap.com.au/entryopen.html

Can anyone shed light on their abscence from the event. Would of been awesome to see a group of Australia's faster track Honda's have a run together.

hey guys..

last weekend's racing was great. it was our first time in oran park.. great track, awesome event, really good experience..

was abit disappointed that there was so few honda cars racing.. we were surprise to see that there was actually no honda's in the street class at all...

it was great to be able to face off with proconcepts k20a ek9... was a great honour to race with a workshop that does so much good work.

Superlap really brings out the best in Racing from all over australia.but we were really glad that we were able to smash some big name gtrs, Evos etc...

last but not least i would like to thank god.. for the victory which was really a miracle taking into considerations we only had 19 laps to run.
Pro concept for putting up a good fight the racing was so close and intense.. it was really great... and a great honour to race with nsw fastest...
thanks to ROb, little John + my team .. without them the CRX would be nothing.
Fans like E240, Jason, etc... for coming to support, it was really good to be able to put a face on to an avatar...

thanks guys.. was a great day again for honda racing !!!

Hey, unfortunately due to your issues, I didn't get to speak to you.

It certainly would've been great to have gone out to give your CRX and Pro-Concept a run, but Superlap at this time isn't our priority so we pulled out.

You have a very nice decked out race car. Very nice. I want a GT wing too!

congratulations guys
Australias best time attack cars all in one place

On a side note, that lotus must be a monster to beat the hi-octane r32!

K20A turbo in a very lightweight chassis, proven lotus handling and probably in the hands of an experienced driver...nah...definately a better car...

**EGB18CT** · 07-07-2008 12:46 PM

The tech board outside the Lotus's garage was '230kw's, 750kg powered by a supercharged K20A'

Absolutely awesome combination

Great result. It would be un characterist of HPR CRX to lose.

edit: Just read the time sheets. That Lotus must be fast!

**SPEEDCORE** · 08-07-2008 09:55 AM

May I ask what the scrutineering issues were?

The HiOctane GT-R has recorded an 11 second quater mile pass in it's full; no adjustment trim at a rally event it attended a little while back.

So yes, the Lotus's achieve ludacris speed with their engine swaps

Surge tank needed to be covered as it was exposed within the cabin.

The team had the most ingenious track solution ever
