hey all, been lurking a long while now but forgot my old accoutn details so re signed up last year.

I recently sold my turbo B18 integra and had an RA28 celica that I wanted to turn into a race car but couldnt justify spending the extra $$ to make it competitive and I didnt want to chop the car up either. met a guy that had a time attack EG and we ended up swapping. he wanted an Ra28 and I wanted a race car. so ehre it is





above was when I'd gone to pick it up












have since done a few track days and sprint days. currently gonna get gearbox rebuilt.

long story short it previously had a fastlane shifter which was nice and tall but the weight just ended up forcing 4th gear to go on even though it wasnt engaging correctly. thats esentially resulted it not having a 4th syncro haha.

its basically a b20 with a 16 head.
ITR box with m factory lsd and 4.9 FD.
home made DIY aero bar the pci wing

rota (lol) 15x8 wheels.

shaved spoon calipers so we could fit the 15s over the 300mm brakes.

I'll post a proper list of mods and do a timeline of what I;ve had to do to it so far int he next post.

as above my main issue with the car was 4th gear popping out or not engaging and just grinding. decided to drop the oil and I think we've found 4th..



changed from the fastline to a c's racing single bend shifter.



am thinking of going Ktuned one but no need as of yet I think.


not sure if theres many aussies on here but so far the car has managed a 1:09 at wakefield with a bad 4th gear on street tyres.





Plans for it is just to go racing again really. Ive been off the track for a while now haha. I'm on the hunt for 15x8 te37's or whatever japanese wheel of the like. 5x114's needed. might just keep the rotas for R compounds and have my usual tyres on the other set.


Hoping to have the box rebuilt in the coming month for more track time haha.

heres a video from when I took it to the rallysprint. its dark but gets brighter about a minute into it.

You are driving on the wrong side of the car.
Second I don't know of any Aussies who frequent the forum here.
You might want to try the forum NZHondas.com.

Or Home of the Honda Cup NZ
There are few guys there that build and race Hondas that I know of.
Sneak around on their forums and see who recommends what parts and shops.

Love the rear diffuser! Looks pretty aggressive.

Thanks gang. Rear diffuser is DIY and designed inhouse haha. We were thinking of making a few if people were interested in them

and yeah, landies are my biggest addiction. The one above was my backup one as my main one was being serviced hahaha



I tend to ***** it out on insta a lot cause I dont use FB. but good to be back in a honda anyhow. Also just got myself a honda beat so looking forwrard to getting that on the track too
