22Kill Garage - #882

-Working-

September 15, 2015 Update: On September 15, 2015 I picked up my first car for the track every since I stop racing and doing trackdays back in 2013. So here she is, my 2004 Honda Civic Type-R: K20a with 212hp @ 8,000rpm and 149lb-ft @ 7,000rpm. Today I brought here out to Austin, Texas to do some laps at Circuits of the America and see what kind of times I can get with this stock Type-R.



So after about 5 laps and 1/2 tank of gas gone this little Type-R did better then I thought it would. With pulling off a 02:41.345 around COTA and handling pretty good, time to start put in work to see where we can get this little Type-R.

All ready got the Suspension Package from Yardwrekz Discount Warehouse waiting to be installed when I get back to the garages and going to pull the guts out and install these Sparco seat.

Update: So with the Suspension package from Yardwrekz Discount Warehouse.

Weight Reduction: Gutted Interior with Sparco Seat and Steering Wheel
Losing a total of weight at 337 lbs. Time to do some tuning and back on the track...

Update 2: After installing the parts and some minor tuning I was able to get a 02:36.636 around COTA dropping 04.709 secs off the stock tuning time. Not to bad for no engine work.

Going to install these parts Dyno and hit the track at COTA for some times...

Update: Just got back from the dyno and off the track. Put down a 02.26.535. Dropped .933 from the last time I ran at COTA. I think she is dialed in pretty good right now. After the dyno run, the numbers that the Type-R put down was 305 hp @ 8,000rpm and 214 lb-ft @ 7,000rpm.


Time to start working on car #2...

Just took it around the track at Circuits of the America for the first time and ran a 02.35.041 all stock. not to bad, but I can see that we are going to need some wreck time on this one.
