G'day everyone,

For what it's worth, Wakefield is our local test track and we're generally there once a month or so doing testing.

We had an EK Civic Vtir Coupe project vehicle on the fleet that we used to develop the Civic product. The best time we got in the dry was 1:15.9 but could circulate comfortably in high 16's.

Driver - Wojtek R. Whiteline R & D manager
Engine - Standard
Brakes - Hawk pads
Tyres - Yokohama ES100 205/50/15
Suspension:

Whiteline "Group 4" coil-over kit. (Spring rates 6kg/4kg mm fr/rr)
Whiteline "Handling Pack" including front and rear adjustable swaybars, front caster and camber kit, rear camber kit.
Whiteline Chassis Bracing package including front and rear strut braces, B pillar brace, rear lower arm/swaybar mount brace.

We generally keep engine and other components standard as we're out to test chassis mods only doing lots of comparison work with data logging. Brake pads are often upgraded simply to give us more capacity for laps on the day.

Our R & D guys, who are not race drivers but enthusiasts still maintain that it was one of the sweetest cars they ever drove on test. From a chassis side it felt wonderfull inspiring a lot of confidence.

If nothing else, this time should give you some sort of benchmark of the potential of "chassis-only" mods for a street car.

Hope that helps

Cheers
Jim
