Nice rubber, nice brakes too, I'm sure they cost you big $$$. What type of car do you drive?
I'll come see say hello next time at the track.

If you want uninterrupted session maybe you can join Nova Group. They only limit 40 cars for any track session. Of cause have to pay a little bit more, 500rm with transponder. I will joining them tomorrow for the afternoon session. If I'm not wrong morning session booked by the Lamborghinis' and lotus' owners.I have asked both these clubs for info about membership and track days etc.
Will advise of the outcome.
Thanks for the info.

The Integra DC5’s understeer’s problem can be an issue for some but if you ask me..well I can live with it. Andy, do you think that all FF setup cars have this understeer's problem? Anyway, my major concern right now is the power or the lack of it. I’m thinking to upgrade my intake and piping system and I’ll be a happy man if 8 to 10 hp can be gained. Your advice regarding the RE55 is duly noted.Subcon,
Your Vtech really screams, I'm so impressed with these cars at the track, if you get yourself some good semi-slicks you will take up to 5 sec a lap off. I use Toyo R888's and I'm pretty happy with them, big $$ though.
Do you have braided brake lines and hi temp pads? If not these will make a world of difference also.
Handling looks to be very good as it is, how is the power understeer?? I used to own a Proton GTi and the biggest problem was power understeer.
If you can afford it the Bridgestone RE55's are the tyre of choice but I have had trouble finding them here in KUL.
Let me know if you know where I can get some, I'll try them next.
Hope to see you this Sunday.

Sweet, Appreciate any info on private club sessions.
I have had previous private club sessions at Sepang some years ago and it is more enjoyable with less cars but you have to pay.
No money, no honey.
Thanks again.

From what I have seen and experienced with these Honda's especially the Integras, is that understeer is not so bad compared to other makes. I don't know what Honda have done but the FF Honda'a keep really good pace with the FR cars. Just look at the WTCC where a FF Honda has won a few races this season. That has to say something for the factory setup..! The only suggestion I have is to get adjustable castor rods and wind as much castor into the front wheels as possible, this will reduce your understeer but you will never be without it. It is the curse of FF cars.
I was following a yellow Integra Type R on Sunday that I shared my pit with, fair enough I was down on power, but I was flat chops and I could not catch him. He was running slicks and the car was stripped bare for racing but he told me the thing was stock and mate I tell you I've been thinking about buying one ever since Sunday. My A31 when on song is over 400hp and even in a straight line I could not reel him in.
From what I saw on your video these things are rocket ships and with a few minor upgrades can be very competetive track cars.
Sorry for the rant, but very impressive cars, why go turbo when you have a Vtech??

Regarding motorsport in Australia, you guys have it pretty good here!
I can afford to do double the motorsport here compared with home. You guys don't even need a CAMS licence to go on the track here, and to get a CAMS licence you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club, car has to be inspected before each time you go out and you do get turned away for the smallest things like tow hooks and fuel cell breather setup. Helmets have to be less than 5 years old and even your socks can be out of date and cost you entering an event.
The good thing about Oz is the access to unlimitied aftermarket spares for all types of Jap models and they are cheap compared to here. You guys pay too much tax on imported goods la!!
Concerning you intake for your Vtech, I have not had alot of experience with these engines but I'm sure same physics apply, from my experience intake is the expensive side of the engine.
Quad throttle bodies will make a huge difference, along with cams and cylinder head porting, then you need to think about ECU, injectors and fuel pump. If all of this is out of the budget stick with a cold air intake pipe, a heat shield and a K&N air filter, this will give you a few more HP.
I believe you can re-tune the honda's ECU alot more than other OEM items from other makes so this will give you the most from your current injectors and fuel pump.
Good luck,
Let us know how you go.

turn 1,
thank you for the insight it is very much appreciated!!
One thing for sure it's expensive to increase the hp of NA's car! RM10k can only get you what...about 15hp? where as for turbo with the same amount of money you can get like a million hp!
it's not fair! ha! ha!

It started off as a small, nimble hatchback from the 80’s. But who knew 30 years later, it is still regarded as one of the most influential cars by the ever-growing enthusiasts to have shook the world and still leaves fresh traces of rubber on the tarmac. And it is through its unique characteristics that had moved Toyota in reincarnating the famed sideways legend, the AE86, with the all new Toyota 86...
