I really want to feel what the car is like with the RBC, u reckon it would work well with the tsx cams? and where can we source it from? havent seemed to find any for sale...your plan sounds very good

will be waiting to see it! what coilovers did u get? have u tracked ur car again? with all these mods your time should improve heaps, 1.16s? possibly

If you're at the next meet I'll take you for a spin

And when I say the 4k rpm, I mean on the drag strip. I mean I did a lot of work and the car only ran 0.1 faster than stock. In my and the car's defence though, I did baby the clutch a LOT more than when I did the 15.5 stock. Then again, the Euro's gearbox is perfectly suited to be CRAP at the 1/4 mile. With the flywheel and clutch done now I think the car could hit 15.1 (optimistically).

From what I've read and been told, the RBC responds very well to bigger cams. Also with the TSX cams + K20A valvetrain I'd be able to take the engine to around 7700rpm which is where the RBC would really shine. The coilovers are Koni Yellows with Eibach Prokit springs.

I only took the car to Wakey once when it only had the RSB and managed a 1:19.0 with full interior. As it is now the car would probably crack a low 1:18 or very high 1:17, and I'd say that would be mostly due to the fact that mine weighs 50kg+ less than stock. With the coilovers and ECU tune I'd say a high 1:16 would be possible and with an LSD; low 1:16s.

Its surprising that ive never seen your car since you live in sydney...whens the next euro meet?? Do you know where you can purchase the tsx cams from? And why do you say your car is 50kg lighter than stock? if only our cars were 100-200kg lighter i reckon they would fly!!

If there is a all euro (slow) track day, I might come along with my stockie... or anyone willing to let me hitch along? I dont mind paying 1/2 cost and fuel up your car for you....

Keep a lookout for a wakefield track day in the upcoming events section. They usually need about 40-60 cars in a day, so it is better to piggyback on an existing event. Because our cars are not the quickest on the track, they usually lump all the Euros and slower cars in the same group.

I need to change my transmission fluid first. It is due for replacement.

how about we all go during a open day during the week ?

$110.00 no timing ( bring your own) but generally only a few cars during the entire day its great !
