[RPH]

Just dropping by to update you all on my progress. Been doing small things here and there finally got my coilovers got BC BR Coilovers purchased from eskimo_fighter also joined the plastidip bandwagon some may like how it turned out all to their own opinions i guess

oh and also i signed up for Honda Nationals 2013!
Really looking forward to learning the limits of me and my car, hoping that i take in alot on the day and make the most of it as i would like to go on track on a regular basis.

Hi All,

Hardrace rear camber kit attained installation was quite easy to install although i did have a hick up undoing one bolt the head of the bolt snapped off
but luckily the bolt was loose and was easily taken out with long noise pliers and abit of patience...

Honda Nationals 2013

Well overdue i know but i'm bored... hehe well anyway here is my small summary of my experience at H Nationals 2013, if you took part in the day
or was competing i was the kid in the EP3R with yellow lettering on my tires :P im starting to wish i went around and introduced myself to some of you guys!
well none the less lets get started...



I've never been on track prior to H Nationals 2013 and i thought it was suicidal taking part in such an event where i thought
people with far more track experience would look down on people like me but to my surprise the day had such a good vibe and great atmosphere.
My Journey actually started the day before at about roughly 8PM just before departing Melbourne my car was having it final road tune after that i
had a small bite and was Winton bound! I arrived at Benalla at approximately 11:00PM and stayed at the Executive Hideaway from there i already
saw that people we're already in town ready to put a show on tomorrow the JDM YARD DC5 and guys from Nakama stayed at the same place as i did.



The day of H Nationals 2013 i really didn't know what to expect my nerves started to overpower me i actually couldn't believe i was taking part in this event.
My first couple sessions i took easy as it was my first time out on track and i didn't know how my car would react. As my confidence went up i felt more inclined
to try harder the next session, but to my disappointment i saw that my lap times we're still around the 1:55's and so on even though it felt like i was getting
better each time i went on for a session my times would still be relatively the same. Disheartened and almost wanting to call it a day my friends never gave up
on me and with their never ending support i continued about my day.



Things like tire pressure and damper settings became subject to tweaking in my later sessions(doh!) of the day and i began to see a drop in my lap times at that
point i became more motivated to keep on going my day ended with my best lap time being 1:52
The experience was certainly different from what i was expecting and definitely not as easy as i thought, and i will definitely be coming back for you Winton!

Crazy progress. By the way 1:52 is a good time for a first timer. Don't get caught up on the lap times you get just get out there and have fun.

Function7 LCA + Subframe
just adding some bling to my car, installation was very easy i've never done any suspension work to a car on my own so it was a great learning experience took less then two hours to install.
Had to do abit of research on getting all the correct Torque spes which were required as i had to put the whole assembly back together.


If your intending to do any LCA work on a EP3/DC5 your going to need one of these sockets, its a 10 sided socket which is required for the 3 outer bolts on the LCA's. The friend who sold me the Function 7's was kind enough to tell me about it although i felt confident that i had all the right tools, clearly not











Enjoy ~~

What size is the 10 point socket?? Will have to order 1 from snap-on..
