Well HPDE season started again in Vancouver yesterday.

Took old faithful -- who had less than 1000 kms put on her last year





This is how the engine of my 12 year old car is nowadays:




I hung out with White Rocket for the day:




This is my car and his car (which are almost mechanically identical now):




Here were other interesting cars that showed up:







Track conditions were perfect -- cool and dry. Lots of Porsches to play with. Even beat up one of those new STi's. (the owner didn't like me too much)

Just proves to me that the Type R is still one hell of a car --- takes a licking and keeps on ticking.....

Now I will go back to lurking.... :-)

 

impressive pics. Sweet enginebay setup.

 

Beautiful Type-R's. Always nice to show up a $30k or $40k car in something that costs about half and makes half the power. Honda really got it right with the Type-R. They didn't exactly help the owners out with the security systems. Thats for another thread though. You should start taking videos of your hpde sessions.

 

Yeah -- I've been eyeing one of those GoProHero HD cams -- but have held off as early models had audio problems

Maybe they are good now?

 

Any video ???

PY till I die

 

 

I hear a lot about them, mostly good. I have no personal experience with them though. Maybe look to see if it has any reviews on amazon or if you can find a general review of it on google.

I use a jvc with a 4gb sd card on an i-o port mount in my dads track car. Sound quality and picture are both great. The sd card has plently of room for each day's track time.

There are so many choices out there for cameras. Don't let the go pro be your only option.

Actually scratch all that, just get something so we can see some in car videos damn it! Jk Lol.

 

Lotus :drool:

 

awsome car, one day ill own one, what did you run if you dont mind me asking?

 

Eh... just some Canadians raising hell...

Good to see Mrs Rocket out there in the pooper as well.

BPR, you gonna track the "other" car?

 

very nice ITR overall.

 

Engine set up?

It won't be as fun

 

Nice. looks like a lot of fun !!!!!

 

Nice pics! I saw the ones whiterocket posted on itrca. Looks like fun!

Looks like fun. BPR should really come out of lurker status more often.

SICK!!!

 

I have a 2011 STI and compared to my ITR it's a joke... can't believe people even Auto-x those cars.

The worst part about owning an STI is other STI owners. Subaru has the worst fanboys of all.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Your RRRr has always been one of my favorites.

 

Thanks guys

I was hoping to do the west coast expo -- but that didn't pan out -- too bad. Driving to SC is just not gonna happen unless I win the lottery and can ship my car out

 

for some fellow canucks.

This is exactly why I wish I was living back on the coast. My R is still sitting in the garage because we just got another snow storm in Sask.

I was hoping to have her out for April 1st but I'm not sure that's gonna happen anymore. I really need a transfer back to BC.

 

I think that the EVO and SRT-4 communities are generally worse

OP: How much power is that making? I don't know much about all-motor setups, but I'm gunna venture a guess of around 220-230?
