Civic of Doom: Honda Challenge Recycling

[Kaan]

Semi discouraging 2020 kickoff... you would think with 3 extra months of the offseason, the first event would be a breeze and i would continue to excel and improve... but that's not exactly what happened.

the main goal was to be reliable, and that happened. that's my biggest takeaway and i'm happy about it. BUT i didn't get faster... Most folks were 1-3 seconds off their normal times for the weekend... and i was in that camp. I was able to get it down to 1.8 seconds behind my previous times... but still disappointing.

i couldn't get the car to turn through the carousel while on throttle... normally we lift to enter T6 and smash the gas all the way to T10 braking... that wasn't happening this weekend. I really wish we had another summit event because the data shows i picked up speed in T3 T4 and T10 (with room to grow)

changes for VIR will be... more front camber and going from a 22mm rear sway bar to an adjustable 24mm (running on full stiff). hopefully this helps me get the car to turn in... if this works out i'll likely drop rear spring rate 100lbs and try to run the bar on full stiff in the dry to see if it is comparable... that will give me the option to go soft in the rain. also... getting into my intake air temps and speed data... i'm revising my intake and going to have to hit the dyno again.
