Any car can do autocross!

Thank you sir.

This is not the usual configuration. There is usually an extra section instead of going directly up the west straight.

@@walterbrooks3539 Just finished going today, and yes there's a "kink" that they added on the west/up straight you're talking about..... definitely slows things down

I was pedaling as fast as I could. Probably over driving and over heating the RE71R. There was no way I was making up 3 seconds to get a class win.

the number of 1:37s was mind bending, and I think your 1:40 is FAST !! I feel so slow in my stock suspension STi. Great pedaling though !

40s? Thanks for that! :)

I ended up buying a new short block.

@@walterbrooks3539 Was it that far out?

@@roadworthy7884 The mains seemed out of spec and trying to find a machinist that would fix everything is difficult. Easier to buy new and have peace of mind.

@@walterbrooks3539 Roger that. Ive done a fair amount of measuring these cases after theyve seen many miles and abuse and they do seem to distort over time. IAG makes comment about this on their site and I believe them. I shoot for .0015-.0018 on the mains. Ive built them all the way out to .0023 and they ran just fine but anything past that and youd have to run like 20w50oil or something to keep your oil pressures up. Have fun building your motor!

@@roadworthy7884 Thanks for the insight. I was measuring between 0.0004 and 0.0023 on the front bearing. I thought maybe the case halves had shifted, but the tight measurement was perpendicular to the case split, so it didn't make sense.

Brake boost vaccuum line.

Piston #1 is broken so full engine rebuild. I'll likely run OTA and PITL as usual. Pay to play.

ill stay tuned for your vids

I thought you were going to measure it for me?

Thanks! More aggression... less shifting... seems to have worked.

Added Ohlins coilovers this year.

That wasn't your CRX though, was it?

Nope. Mine has a black hood. No numbers or spoiler. Also, significantly slower ;)

Same stage1 power. Tires (RE71R) are 2 seconds faster than last year (AD08R).

So with the extra grip out of the corners you are getting better terminal speeds inbetween? Great driving! Good luck in series!

Yes, GP is an awesome track and with the elevation changes and blind corners, nothing else close by really compares. Do yourself a favour and take one of the schools, like the OTA CTMP school.

I can upload mine from last year. It has less gauge info though. GP is rough on EJ motors due to long sustained high G corners. Oil pools in the heads and you get oil starvation and spun bearings. I blew an engine there but was due to low/old oil. I also blew a timing belt on the way to GP. Sheesh. I have an oil control baffle in the engine, and make sure I have new oil and slightly overfill before the track.

My injectors are already maxed according to my tuner.

Thanks. Always room for improvement though. Go to www.time-attack.ca for more info on the series. Not many mods... stage1 tune, WL rear sway, 2015 steering rack, then tires, brakes, etc. Red GR's were only available in the US... I imported the car. I have an aftermarket seat that I'm pretty happy with too.
