QUOTE(FC3STURBO @ Dec 1 2007, 10:58 PM) [snapback]1281680082[/snapback] any mishaps? Commodore hit the tyre wall hard on the National circuit during practice for Top Gear. That was it for the serious stuff. Couple of S2000s had some issues again, not quite sure whether going back out on the track was a good idea for the red one. And the driver of the Peugeot hatch really needs to learn that getting out of the car whilst stranded off to the side of the dipper is a very, very bad idea. Congrats to the HiPower Racing for their win, and Fleet/AMEC for their win as well. ROCK ON R~R |

QUOTE(hipowerracing @ Dec 1 2007, 10:07 PM) [snapback]1281680024[/snapback] the bad news is me and rob are seriously thinking of retiring the CRX from QR's Saturday Sprints. as we have already proven our point with the CRX and we would like to give the chance and encourage other drivers to win the championship in the 4 cylinder road class... however i will still be in/on QR's Sprint evenys to support my customers like Jamie and Louis. i want them to break the one minute mark.be patient guys we'll get there. Good stuff on the win, same to all the others with the trophies  If you retire, that gives me a tiny little chance to maybe get 2 points at an event  But entering 2 cars to replace you wont help me much When will HPR work on the mighty 2zz? I think the problem is the weight (and stockness) of my car, I still have plenty more to tune into it in suspension alone. |

If the Japanese have developed parts for the Runx; and Celica I'm sure Ivan could help you out there ... But we sacrifice alot of creature comforts in our cars to get the little buggers to go |

I know of plenty of parts to bring my car down to around a 60s lap. But that involves lots of money, maybe 10 grand, and being a student doesn't help much . I'll have to see what lap times my mate can do in his modded one if he ever gets his PFC retuned. |

Look forward to seeing you out there some time. dunno if i will be on track much anymore but we will see. money is going other places and i only have maybe another sprint session left on current tyres. QUOTE(hipowerracing @ Dec 1 2007, 10:07 PM) [snapback]1281680024[/snapback] hi guys.. yeah we won 2 Championships BACK to BACK ...PRETTY STOKED!!! (i suck at losing!! you should have seen my face when i thought we lost the championship :P ) and im very glad Louis(0EG60) ran consistent 61 and JAMIE ran a 62 secs consistently. this has prove that hipower racing can build fast civics too not just CRXs... the bad news is me and rob are seriously thinking of retiring the CRX from QR's Saturday Sprints. as we have already proven our point with the CRX and we would like to give the chance and encourage other drivers to win the championship in the 4 cylinder road class.. :thumbsup: so far the plan's for next year is unknown. we would like to either try to ... 1)join the "Race" series next year,or 2)join the top gear series or 3)maybe only prep our CRX for the Autosalon Magazine "Timeattack"for Wakefield. all depends on Rob's and my schedule next year. however i will still be in/on QR's Sprint evenys to support my customers like Jamie and Louis. i want them to break the one minute mark.be patient guys we'll get there. To peter from AMEC... Congrats on your win in your class, bro it's been a hard long year haha.... overall i like to thank the organizers of QR for an event well held. and also our supporters for beliving in our little beast. :bowrofl: last but not least a great thanks to my friend Robbie for he's excellent driving. :bowrofl: it has been a great 2 years. i enjoyed myself the past two years but it's time to move on. the point we went out to prove was... what is HorsePower without HEART??... RACING is all about HEART! ;) Congrats rob and ivan, top effort guys. Catch up with ya some time soon. might come out as 1 of the cheer squad |

Reliability has been our strength, our rebuilt VG30DETT has been running now since Feb 2006, taken serious punishment and I think we only missed 1 sprint round since then, with no issues to speak of  It runs 23 psi and 366 RWKW every day.thanks to QR for putting on such a great and fun competition. next year we will aim to do the Top Gear series and give some other guys a chance at winning the title in Road 8. congrats to Rob and Ivan for their back to back wins, awesome stuff!! see you guys next year no doubt Congrats Pete ...You seriously have to have one of THE most reliable VG30DETT's on the planet !!!

(i know it's weird for a CRX to want to challenge big cars.. haha...) next year really want to build a EVO6 for ROB... i believe he will be able to pull an excellent time with a 4WD turbo car. but we will see what happens...
