Thanks Benson, the tune really helped me. The car pulls out of the corners much better now

Thanks! No I didn't unfortunately. But I did do a couple of spirited runs in some hills near my house to compare and there is a massive difference, the car pulls through and out of corners much better. I would definitely recommend it, the wavetrac unit I use is a torsion type LSD and uses OEM gear oil, and it doesn't make any noise either which is good.

Nice meeting you on Friday Ryan! Awesome work on the PB too! That's extremely quick.

Sorry to hear the dyno was reading low for you. Seemed pretty accurate on my run:



As expected. 1000+fwkw.

Same to you mate! thanks I was trying very hard to lower my time so I'm pleased with the result. Hahaha I knew you were running a jet engine in that stanced out beast! :P I'm kinda over the dyno number now, I'm concentrating more on my track times as that's what I really care about and just enjoying the extra go

Great to meet you on Sunday Ryan, good work on your PB! That's a very impressive time, particularly for only your second time. I didn't get any good shots of your car, but here is what I did get:







You just have to use your imagination and pretend I didn't cut off half the ClubITR sticker in that one.

Ok so I thought I'd make a quick update after today's events

Was driving to work this morning, the same way I have gone since I have had my car, and an undercover police car pulls me over asked me for my license and then breath tests me, then he looked over my car and issued me with a defect notice because it was too low (my front lip is like 30mm of the ground lol) fair enough, I knew it was too low. Then he looked under the bonnet, asked me questions about my intake, headers and exhaust and said that until I take them off my car I cant drive it. I don't have anything against the policeman as he was just doing his job, but as you can imagine I wasn't too happy, one of the worst days I've had in a while!

Getting the car to legal height is obviously easy, but if I take the headers, exhaust and intake off, I'll have to put the stock computer, 02 sensor, Intake Manifold and throttle body back on and I really don't want to do that. So I have decided to take the car off the road, and use it purely for the track. I had planned to do this in the future but after thinking about it all day, it seems like the right thing to do, now I won't have to make so many compromises if i buy more parts! I am currently looking for a new car, something with enough "go" to be able to tow the Honda to the track once I get a trailer, so an auto 6cyl falcon is on the cards, that will stay stock standard though. I'm looking forward to driving around in a comfortable car again! Haha

Anyway i just wanted to share this with everyone, I feel like its a big step for me and although I really am disappointed I won't be driving it on the street anymore I can't wait to start getting it ready for Winton and have the car setup like a proper track car. I'll be looking at trying to save some weight first off, a lot of the interior will go so if you need anything let me know, otherwise I'll probably just throw it out as I have no room in the shed! I'm also keen to look into some custom aero work but I need to do a lot of research before I tackle that. Anyway thanks for reading

Cheers

Ryan

Unfortunate to hear about the police encounter but I'm really impressed with your attitude and how you're using this situation to turn your car into a track beast!

[M@lew]

Damn that sucks Ryan. Bolt-on's are still do-able if you're still considering driving it on the road? Unless this cop is common in your area.

[plAythiNG]

Unlucky Ryan!

Maybe wait one more time if you get defected!

I wouldnt let one Policeman deter my car and taking it off the road.

Cars too clean man!
