hehe, zee just fyi that civic is stock, non-vtec and has regular street tires. just goes to show what seat time can do to your lap times, full suspension, shit tons of horsepower and nice tires doesnt mean anything without some practise. this is why i love dunnville ---

I had one of the helmets but I put the balaclava in the hamper and the helmet back on the shelf when I was done. I wish I had tried a battle with that Civic. It would have been nice to run some lines with someone who has a similar setup to mine. Watching these videos makes me want to get back on the track and try some more laps. I am pushing finances around looking at how I can make the 14th work. Does anyone have some 4x100 wheels with rubber I could burn for the day? My brakes are back up to snuff with DOT 5.1 in the lines (which is serious overkill for what I’m running) so I can stop again. If I can get tires then you can count me and my sorry 4 door Corolla in to the fun. ---

(i have a set of 4x100, 15"/6.5 forsale. edit: I just rememberd i have an extra set of wheels from my mr2 (14"), theyre a tad out of round causing a very slight vibration… i wouldnt mind lending them to you for the day. ---

I will have to wait and see what I can do for cash. I just got back from the garage again after my brakes failed on me during my lunch run. The mechanic I used is trying to tell me that the problem is that I used DOT 5.1 instead of the recommended DOT 3. I had to tell him that with freshly replaced fluid I shouldn’t have to put the pedal to the floor to get any stopping power. Grrr… time to push more money around and see what I can do. I keep thinking about that gutted out RX-7 and how nice it would be to have space to work on a track only car like that where I don’t have to worry about parts failing on me with my daughter in the back seat. ---

Thanks!!! Im not to sure on the speed…im running the S15 diff with the S14 5 speed so the speedo is well gone…besides, looking down is not an option…the S15 runs a 3.71 rear gear so im in the gears longer…At Mosport I was hitting 217 kph in 4th uphill. Still has about 450 RPM to go!!I use the GPS for speed but it wasnt turned on at Dunnville…next time ill put it on…it will hold my max speed. The end of the straight…well im only starting to develop enough hair on my balls to really take that turn fast…next time ill speed it up some more and hope it sticks!! I was leaving that long sweep in the civic at 125 kph with no passenger and 120 kph with a passenger 🙂 Sry for yelling at you after the black flag…that subaru just wouldnt get out of the way and i just lost it… My bad ---

240\_420, you officially qualify as my hero. In my stock Corolla I was coming out of the big sweep at 115km and getting just over 140 before I had to stand on my brakes. I get paid on Friday and will be sending Mark some cash to hold my spot for the 14th. ---

i know a lot of people put tonnes of time and hard earned money into their cars so if they want to keep it clean, then there is no need to make fun of them. people have different taste/focus so whatever we do and they do shouldn’t matter to either one of us 😃 saying that, i still think people who don’t track are gay haha i’m just joking ---
