i was just messing around at a local autox on bfg gforce sports. i didnt expect the car to stick.

 

and p.s. Anyone notice the amount of "time attack" or "track car" build threads going on by people who have never hit the track? It's killing me!

*disclaimer: this is NOT aimed at the gentleman asking about spring rates and swaybars.

 

It doesnt bother me, some people have innovative builds. I think its cool to see functional cars, whether or not the driver races it or not.

Id rather see a well built track Honda than some pink car on streched tires and a turko k swap.

 

I plan on it. I will be starting my build sometime soon. I'm going to do some local autox to get a feel for the car and probably jump into scca. may attend some hpde events too as money allows.

 

Autocross is alot of fun.

guessing thats you? where in florida are you?

 

Im in Tampa. Autocross in Ft. Myers often. That event was over in Ft. Lauderdale.

 

really? im in tampa too. well seminole. that looks like a nice autox. have you ever looked into FAST autox? they're a good deal for the price.

 

Iv been meaning to go to the last few. The lca bushings are shot on the sedan (blox bushings blow) and I didnt feel comfortable autocrossing on em.

I should be driving the hatch after winter break, so ill prob go to a couple fast events.

 

to stay on topic, this is the car im working with.

the motor going in will be a beast.

 

boooo...road course is where it's at

Happy Honda Days to me!




hard to believe how much this little bit of stuff cost me

 

I've got a box of honda parts right next to me. it's satisfying to see the red stickers on everything

 

i can truly say that this is my first time buying parts for any of my cars from Honda

 

Grrr, VIR is sooo cool. Some day I'm going to run out there. I can't wait to hit up Laguna Seca in three weeks. I haven't run out there since 2006!

 

some pics from last year.. thought I'd share.

 

The reason I asked about your sway bar is because of pics from that event.

Road courses are cool, too expensive for me at the time being.

 

Very true. Aint nothin wrong with "track style," b/c the alternative is pretty bogus imo.

 

Leguna Seca is on my list of tracks to drive on after playing Grand Turismo

NASA's Hyperdrive is only $50 for one session only thing i can afford since i don't have the $$$ for a whole weekend

what's "track style"?

 

I agree, not to mention 75% of them end up getting parted out at the end. Now yes i have zero track time, but its hard in ny, being broke and locking in a lab 24/7/365 . This year i have to get out.

Nice grey hatch, really feelign it

 

NASA's Hyperdrive is only $50 for one session only thing i can afford since i don't have the $$$ for a whole weekend

really? hm, im going to look into that although its quite the drive. i noticed you guys werent really pushing it. was it more of a go slow and learn type thing?

edit: got it. limited passing.

 

limited passing and can only go as fast as the cars in front of you...the tC was holding us up, the the M3 let us pass. i never got the point-by from the Civic in front of me even though the whole last lap i was riding him, but it was his 1st time. this is basically a HPDE1, 1st time for many people on the track...that was my 2nd time

 

i was looking at the hpde's. i couldnt find any info on a hyperdrive event. i was going to see if they had it at any other tracks such as sebring or homestead.

 

it does't say it on their site, but i'd email them and ask about it

 

Most track events in fl at sebring-homestead-pbir will run 300+ for a day.
