Thanks for organizing this Chris.

$75 for 3 hrs is an amazing price during a week day .... LOTS of turbo cars there, it definately gave me the motivation to get my pan finished.

I'll get that video of a lap in the civic on youtube this weekend. If your civic can handle the track, there is no reason that any aircooled with some brakes could not be there.

I didn't think we were going to make some of those turns at the speeds we were going but somehow you pulled it off

Dunnville is a "momentum" track from what I saw, 3rd gear max on a stock T1 gearbox ... brakes are a MUST if you do more than 3 hot laps.

There is a video on youtube of a 911 GT3 lapping at Dunnville ... you could time the run on the video and then figure out how you would compare.

Thanks again Chris, and I'll look forward to the next one.

Well Michael, last year I drove he car three times which was great because it gave me a change to work out the bugs during the winter. I did have some issues and one serious one. First issue, I have a Sharp Built Shroud and on the install I had to cut off the original oil filler hole which intern becomes a holder for the fan and alternator holder. Well I only tacked the aluminium plate and the torque from the pulley broke the tack but I caught it in time and it was repaired ( no damage ). Second issue ! Brakes. I replaced the brakes after years of mental abuse from the one and only Lanner. The brakes are done the stopping power is amazing and it's really cool. Third problem! After completing the brakes I purchased rims. I am trying to keep the original fenders for the front and rear but I got 7's in the front and 9's in the rear. I do have short axles and it's a swingaxle car. Again Lanner told me that it would not work but the stubborn person that I am had to learn the hard way. I was more determined to make it work because the rims where polished and so I was trying to work with them( budget, budget)

. I then had to purchase 7 X 17" for the rear as well so I no have to sell my 7 X 9's and there are two pairs and one is polished and the other regular with brand new tires. The last fix was the tranny. Around 4 years ago I purcased my Tranny and it was a steal, couldn't refuse it although I know that I had to rework the gears. Over the winter I also changed the two last gears so I can hit the track but also go on a cruise. All this was done and let me tell ya, being a lone ranger is rooough, I applaud all de boys out there who works alone.

July 25th 2008 today, I drove to work and maaaaaaaaaan
I ya could see the smile on my face. WA WOWwwwww...
Well ohhhh yes I discovered some more bugs but these are easy fixes. It's strictly amazing the car pulls in every gear and ohhh boy it flies, I need more.

Ready To Go Again, Anytime.
