[robfrmny21]

Very impressive #s inop

[robfrmny21]

Now is this a 2liter build or just crazy high compression

[prkiller]

@robfrmny21 Fully built 1.8L LS/VTEC engine. Motor was built by Alaniz back then.

[robfrmny21]

How much power did this make

[prkiller]

@robfrmny21 241hp on the Church Automotive Dyno.

[RacsQT]

what motor are you running?

[prkiller]

@RacsQT

The motor in this car was a fully built LS/VTEC built by Alaniz Cylinder Head Technologies. Motor ended up expiring at the end because of an oil leak we didn't find before the main race. The power sure was fun!

You have a nice car and its moves but your driving was very bad, mybe its your tires or its your brake kit but u have 2 no what your car need. I hope u do butter next time.

I wish that i have your car its very nice ratio,engine,setup.

[angryhillbilly]

i wana do this soo bad! what brake set up are you running?

[prkiller]

@angryhillbilly

I was running an inexpensive wilwood setup, but it just didn't cut it with the HP the car was pushing. Now I'm running a custom Fastbrakes kit with a much higher end Wilwood caliper that works fantastic. Happy that I finally have the brakes sorted out!

[Spo0L]

yeah i saw that s2k fiasco coming after that last corner you understeered good driving though

[OMGItsWeasel]

it sounds like your car falls out of the powerband a little

either way your car, skills and videos are awesome.

i was there this race was nuts, and yes weather up to this race and all weekend was terrible.

[belmon125]

is now your crx in h1 class? then is isnt a d16 doesn it? if you can answr me I'll be pleased, cause I like alot this honda challenge but dont know well how is it ruled. thanks and good luck for that season coming

[prkiller]

Setup was never spot on! Rained all weekend till this race plus it was an untested H1 swap in the car which takes a log of changes to the car to get setup. Just never had any dry setup time to dial in the car!

Camera is an older Sony Digital8 on an I/O Port mount!

[prkiller]

Setup was WAY off.

Was a different engine/drivetrain which required quite a bit of change. Add in the fact that it rained almost the whole weekend up to this race, and we never really had any setup time in the dry!

Tires are spec for all in Honda Challenge. Toyo RA1 this year. For 2009, the new Spec Tire is the Toyo R888.

I felt really bad about hitting John in the S2k. Went and found him right after the race and apologized as much as I could. He was understanding of what happened. Really one of the nicest guys I've ever met!

[lukeblood]

I always love watching you drive.

Glad to see a new video up!

[prkiller]

Thanks!

NASA = NASCAR

Bump and run if you can't drive.

[Ktrain0218]

Ls/Vtec right?

[prkiller]

Correct! GSR crank/Rods and CTR pistons.

[Ktrain0218]

hmmm, I see, which tranny are you using?

[prkiller]

US ITR tranny with JDM ITR final drive!

[davewright29]

Holly shit!!!! Did you have a big bulls eye on your car. Damn!!!!! Bad luck was in your corner.
