AUTOX was awesome. I sucked my first 4 runs, but improved a lot later that day. My buddy said his friend with a e46 was pissed because he couldn't beat my raw times. Idk the exact truth in that but it was funny to hear. The best thing was I made friends with a Mazda 2 owner and a m3 owner. Nobody cared what you drove just that you actually drove.

Ain't that the truth. I'm a firm believer but this year everyone has a personal hate for honda owners. On facebook alone you post a pic in a group of your civic and its a bash fest. But just taking it with a grain of salt.

I never understood that. I've got a personal preference for imports over (modern) domestics, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a well put together vehicle or that I only frequent import shows. Hell, I've had subscriptions to Honda Tuning, and currently have subscription to Rod and Custom

It's ok, by next year I hope to get my driving done packed and prove in my community honda is not made just for straight lines. That's my biggest annoyance, people think 1/4 mile is the only thing cars do.

They love using stupid terms like jap car and rice burner. It's just closed minded ignorance. Anyway, autox is the deciding factor.

:(
Really like this.

Did you ever installed the rear sub brace.?
Didn't install because I wanted to feel the difference between it off and on. I'll install soon enough.

11.8lb. 2.2lb less than my 5zigen FN01RC. Good enough until I get my 949 6ul wheels



New Helmet on the way.

Have a race on 8/4/13 and AutoX School 8/18/12 guarantees me 20+ runs and 3 course. Seat times is the name of the game.

My helmet looks so sick with the vinyl of my last name.



Quick shoot of new winglets.

Some action shot from 8/4/13 2nd event for me. Installing rear sway bar soon so those rear tires are probably coming off the ground.

Really digging it. I'd like to make my daily eg hatch a race car. I wouldn't feel bad about it because it's not super nice.

Thank you, and that's the way I see it. Not pretty, not fast enough for 1/4, might as well become a fast driver. Do it up, I still go to the market to get them groceries in this lol.

Edit: BTW love your RHD EG

Cool-It Reflective Heat Tape added, need to make heat shield or an air box for filter. Finally put on Skunk2 Anti-Sway Bar and ASR subframe. Thinking of either making a heat shield or DEI heat wrap my header.
