    What cars have you raced?

    Hey guys,
    For those of you who have flashed your ECU's/Chipped i am curious to know what car's have you ran and did you beat them?

    For example, have you previously gone up against a Civic Type R and lost, and then chipped your car and re-ran another Type R and won?

    This would all be on the track and not on public roads I'm assuming..........

    We are talking on track here arent we, as no body condones that type of driving on the streets!

    If this is in regards to street racing this thread will be closed, please clarify.

    If it is not any street racing talk will be deleted, we do not condone it and do not allow talk of it on the forum.

    Sorry guys,

    To clarify a little further, what cars have you ran on the track after some upgrades to your car, such as chip, exhaust, front mount cooler etc.

    APR Stage 1 ECU on a Mk5 GTI....pretty much round up any factory V8 Falcodore (sub 260kw versions) on a race track, straight past SS V8 on the straight.

    Catch many of them under brakes.....maybe I am just stupider than them?

    Mine was a bit unfair as it was a stage 3 GTI, but it beat & embarrassed a lot of cars on the track.

    Mid you, there is a white or silver Honda type R that runs at QLD Raceway & It's blindingly fast & I wouldn't like to come up against it in a near stock GTI.

    That must be Tim's car you're talking about.
    Yeah it's a cracking car that. Has 183KWatw in NA form and its only a 2.1L.

    Not sure how you're going out at QR lately, or whether you've improved your times since i last saw some results, but Tim's DC5R does a 59sec time on the Sprint Config. The last time i saw, your best time in the Stage3 was something in the region of 61.1 which means that it would competely (dare i say it) devastate just about any GTI in OZ.
    I'm not a Honda advocate or anything but you've got to give it to em sometimes. It is an incredible feat for a street driven/registered atmo 4 cylinder with only the rear seat taken out, to be able to rumble with the likes of GT3s.

    Yep Beeza, I couldn't match his times - mind you, I was just mucking around & had that catastrophic failure on the main straight that was lucky not to kill me!

    He was in a different group, would have been fun to see how we went trying to keep up with each other, I was having fun in my group with a Turbo XR8
