Flippit's DC5R !!

[Flippit]

Not much of an update but,

After Honda Nationals last year I knew my front lower control arm bushes were cracked, left it and attended powercruise. On the Friday (dry day) could feel the car swaying and dipping when turning right, ass end would come out knew it was time to change the bushes.

When pulled out this is what happened to the bush...fell straight out


Pressed them out at home and painted up


Purchased hardrace hardened replacement bushes from JDMYARD installed and feeling much better just need a new wheel alignment!



Random clips from Powercruise!

The panel beater shop did most of the work for me, and then i had to get a heat gun and mould it a bit better to flow with the bumper nicely, bit more to do on it still.


Took the car out to Wakefield for the Circuit Club Anzac day Track day.
I went there in hope of getting into the 1:12's whilst my PB was currently sitting at 1:13.8

Car felt good besides the back brakes being pretty stuffed after first session, they were already on their way out so knew this was a problem. First session had already beaten my PB, only just but with a 1:13.6.

Second session was too much traffic and only managed 1 decent lap...to my suprise it was exactly as session one being a 1:13.6

Third session again too much traffic and i thought this was the end of my day, Noticed Group B's session was quite empty, so I asked to jump on, My last chance to better my PB, couple laps in had BYP's S2000 pretty close up behind me which pushed me harder, about 4th lap i got a 1:13.4 and 2nd last lap pushed even harder clipping the ripple stripping up on 2 wheels which scored me a 1:13.1....So close to the 1:12 I wanted to achieve but None the less still beat my PB and was happy to call it a day.

Unfortunately I didn't get my 1:13.1 on camera as my gopro's battery died but I did get one of my 1:13.6's on camera.
next time I head out i need to dial in more camber at the front (2.1degree currently) and these RE002's 225's are just not cutting it no more, once they are worn out I think 235/40 AD08's are on the agenda which will need ride height adjustment

For now, video.

Nice video.
I've had good results mounting my gopro off the interior light in my dc5 and setting the camera to wide angle.
Good luck getting into the 12s
