Got a race setup for the Indy bash
So i was out at the meet last night and a friend of a friend brought his Civic Hatch out, not sure on the year but it's got a GSR engine swapped in. He ran a 14.3 at the Cordova strip. I took him for a ride in the Eclipse and he took me for a ride in his hatch, i know he's been wanting to run me because he keeps asking my friend if my car is fast or not. So i asked him if he was going to the Indy bash August 19-21, and he agreed to race me over there. Should be interesting since i haven't ran it at a 1/4 mile track yet, i'm HOPING i will at least be able to keep up with him, i know i probably can't hit low 14's yet, but it's a race that i'm looking forward to. Why not race him on the street?? Because A) I have a shitty enough driving record as it is, i dont need a street racing ticket on it. B) You cant get timeslips on the street, just estimates.
Here's a link to some pictures he put on honda tech, that's my friends green GSR at the bottom of the post. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1299608

Re: Got a race setup for the Indy bash
NTM the track shows who won, rather than having to argue if its close.
Good luck tho.

Re: Got a race setup for the Indy bash
Yeah, taking it to the track leaves no excuses as well. I salute you for making plans for a track meet instead of a street race!
Good luck with the race too.

wow that is a very very clean looking EG. judging from all that structural re enforcements, it looks like he auto X's alot.
and also for us roll on racers, the difference in hp will still show even if we lose cause we will have a high trap speed showing how fast we were reeling them in.

Re: Got a race setup for the Indy bash
How much boost are you running in the Eclipse?

Re: Got a race setup for the Indy bash
Stock i think, unless my mods up it a bit...still learning about these types of engines and shit so i'm not 100% sure about everything. Next paycheck i'm buying an electronic boost controller and guage, so i'll see what i can safely up the boost to.

z28josh, you really don't need a boost guage if your planning to be a electronic boost controler. the electronic boost controllers will have a boost guage already built in. just make sure it reads in psi instead of bars or kpa.

Re: Got a race setup for the Indy bash
Yeah, but you won't be as cool if you don't have a analoge gauge 3" from your face on your A-Pillar reading Boostorrzzz.
Like every other Turbo-fuck out there...  I can say that, cause my boost guage was on my steering column... all in my wayz!

 Pillar gauges are for amateurs that don't know how to read and distinguish their own car. They need some sort of device to tell them what does what, and when and where. You my friend are an amateur.
