Oh right I missed this. Simply put I wouldn't, stressful, lots of money/time I don't have etc. My car is fun, it's fast and does well at what it does. I don't take kindly to someone who competes at a higher level with that higher cashflow trying to tell me why my car is wrong when we are talking a few hundred dollars worth of car. It's kind of a moot point, I have a million other things to worry about before trying to build the ultimate race machine from an old honda that has been crashed, fixed, crashed and beaten to death again several times
You can do what you like with your sponsor money, I'm unsure how this relates to things, I don't tell you how to setup your car, merely example how some of the big boys should mind their own business and maybe consider I don't have anyone that helps me work on the car, money from anyone to maintain it or change turbos or even the time to race it sometimes. The fact it does well despite that should be entertaining, not threatening or insulting but for some reason others don't entirely share that view

Never tried in the prelude, in fact I haven't raced it since I moved the motor to the back due to lack of time to fix a headgasket problem. The old mr2 I think was about 1:17, not sure cause it has been a while. 2 braking points the whole track, could flat stick it from the hairpin to the second turn; raw power and all. There is also a self important official there I'd rather avoid.
Can bring my 2005 maxima down though and blast the air con through the turns wallowing about lol.

You realise the logical next step with that car is to put a 2nd motor in the front!

Didnt see you but what a great day was at elsthorpe rd this morning then at the turn on to middle rd good to see the drivers turning it on for the crowd Only down point of the day was the ahole on a pushbike complaining that the road was closed and that we had no right to close the road I got the last laugh though as he biked back the way he had come
Just for Jazz to all you fiat haters there seemed to be a lot of fiats still going at the end best smokee was the mustang in the tour way to go sideways
