Sam's build thread

Well done on the hill climb Sam.

Did my first short course the other weekend. I did 9 sessions I think and I was absolutely knackered afterwards. Was good fun, a bit too much sitting around for 60sec of seat time, but had a great social aspect to it.

Next Round is Wakefield 25/26 May and Round 3 is SMSP 2/3 August. The big gap between R2 and R3 is because Improved Production are having a bit of a State of Origin thing this year with Qld so we maybe going to Morgan Park 29/30 June. I'll be up at Bathurst for the Easter weekend 6 Hour race.

Last weekend will be on youtube soon and they did a bit of a feature shoot on the Civic, I'll let you know when.

Cheers
Gary

Ok cool. I'll check it out for sure. I'm totally sold on running a honda one day - they make perfect sense. If the gearbox was on the same side I reckon a K24 in my thing would be awesome.

glad to hear it Sean - yep the hillclimbs are very social for the same reason. Was it a hillclimb or a 2 lap dash type of event.

I think they call it gymkhana. We ran this track format, not my car/driving, etc.

K Series Honda engines spin clockwise so are on the drivers side of the engine bay. B Series Honda engines spin anticlockwise so are on the passengers side of the engine bay.

ha no way never knew it. Ialways thought the B and K series were oriented the same way. So a K could be possible. hmmm Thinking about it having the B engine on the passenger side of the bay would be pretty advantageous for left/right weight distribution wouldn't it.

Well done Sam!

cool thanks for that Andrew. You always find the pics out there on the webs.

Didn't realise I was still picking up inside rears that high. Could be going back to the stock front bar maybe or just not enough rear droop? May not be a problem as I really was hurling it through the chicane entry if that's where this pic was taken, and it could even be at the tight left you take over that hump to come onto the main part of the track out of those start area Twisties which really would get the inside rear in the air. It was gripping at the front under power really well though, better than the harder front bar I'd say.
And 215 medium fronts and 195 soft rears is pure glory on a tight track - handled Sooo well.
