It's worked like a dream. I've had it in the car for over 2.5 years, put over 80,000 miles on it and it's still working perfectly.

Or better yet clips of you passing someone, lol..

I'm not a fan of EP3's at all but Kudos to you, this being all opinion, I feel like the Earlier Model Civics loaded down with B or even K series motors out perform EP3's across the board mostly due to their better power to weight ratio's, overall lighter curb weight, while making AS MUCH or MORE POWER...I don't get the current Generation Civic or why anyone would even use it as a platform, To heavy, to slow, to expensive despite their reasonable handling characteristics..Still...Kudos to you man, despite all that it's a sweet lookin ride, hopefully you're out to make some serious power in that thing, I've personally seen Turbo'd Civics with enough of a balance to outrun 911's on the track, would be nice to see this pretty car shut down some high enders like that eventually.

Hey man what's up! I don't recall getting passed other than by the 4 door accord! LOL! I do however remember chasing you down but couldn't catch up because you exited the track. LOL!

^ Its not a race man and not about how many ppl you pass lol, its about how much you learn.. It was my first event driving RHD, and I thought I did very well. Not to mention you were running Rcomps : P

You can track any car you wish to, its personal preferance. Thanks for the opinion, we all needed it. This guy did very well on the track in his EP, its a momentum car.

You asked for vids you get vids: this is last track event in my current GSR setup.

No offence to you at all cause I think its you are doing just for fun... but I notice from watching over again you barely heel toe during your downshifts. Maybe its my ears that are not earing the blip of the throttle but it think it would be a good idea to learn how to do it if you don't know.

Another thing I noticed is you are a little to aggressive in some of your turn ins. You loose to much speed on them. Remember slow in fast out!

Anyways I hope you didn't get offended by my post I am just trying to help you out!

Keep it to the track buddy!

Not offended at all lol... this was my second event switching from RHD to LHD. I removed ABS a few days earlier along with upgrading the GSR front brakes to S2K calipers w/ 11.8" rotors, I have never tracked with out ABS and I was having difficulty finding that "thresh-hold" sweet spot. I do not regularly Heel-Toe and I wasnt trying to push my abilities with the current setup, its just not needed (you can see me lock up the brakes coming too hot into turn 1 lol).. Im learning and trying to do it properly! The car I was tracking previously was a stock RHD 4 dr. ITR, the GSR is a lot different.

Seems like you're getting the hang of that car fairly well. I can't wait to go out on the track with you guys again. It was an awesome weekend!

Yeah man it was def. a fun event.. You better come to expo 10, Im sure it will be a blast like usual.

Hey wernt you in that mini tent lol?? that had to be the smallest tent Id ever seen, no idea how you fit in that thing.

We'll see if i have a car worth tracking come Expo10. Transmission is on the fritz and i'm not sure if i'll have it fixed before the event. I'm looking into getting a Miata and start building it little by little until it comes to be a Spec Miata race car. When i do buy it i'll be having it gutted and caged almost instantaneously. After that the suspension will be getting upgraded to SM Bilstein. Then so on from there!

Yeah that was me in the mini-tent. I still have it! And you are correct, it is the littlest tent ever! How i can sleep, let alone fit in it is one of the world's many mysteries. However i'll probably be towing whatever car i own down to the track and camping in the back of my suburban. Little more space back there! LOL! Well i hope to see you and i'll keep in touch.

Miatas rock... just had a new next door neighbor move in who tracks a mostly stock miata with over 200k on the original motor/trans! Good luck with your new build man. I would just keep working on the EP tho :P


Keep in touch for sure man.. you can count on me making more food and free to all use of the grill again lol.
