The next day I met up with my best mates to show them the beast, quick wash at one of theirs. We went for a drive that night, I let them drive the car and they were pretty amazed how well it went, and how crazy it was wheel spinning. Kev was driving it and a wild Subaru WRX appeared which tried to race the Civic but had no chance!

26/9/2016 - Yez Racing x trak-life Wakefield

It would of only been rude to not head back to Wakefield ASAP with the motorswap done! Luckily Yez Racing + trak-life were hosting a Wakefield day, so I attended with my mates.

The plan was to drive down the evening before hand and stay the night so we were already there the following morning. I got to Christians 6:30pm or so as planned and then waited an hour for them to come from Kevins, they had been working on the cars and still had more to do. Quite annoyingly (re-writing this in the future, I still give them shit for it till this day) I had to wait for them to get the cars ready. I think we left about 8:30-9pm, took forever to drive down as Kev didn't want to take M7 tolls, stopped for maccas dinner etc.. We got down there like midnight and rolled up at a motel in Goulburn afterwards, shortly in bed like 1/1:30am... zzzz

The day went really well, zero issues. The motor is so strong and health, it just revs so freely. Car feels great with the Hardrace bushing kit through it. The Nitto tyres were struggling a bit, I'll include some photos below of them afterwards.

I started at 1:20's, changed dampening's and then achieved constant 1:15s for a while and then managed a 1:13 only just! (Bit of Tokyo drifting at the end)

Much more potential in the car with maybe wider rims/gripper track tyre's, soon to come though! Hoping to break 1:10 when I return with proper rubber!

Thanks again to Yez Racing and trak-life for holding the event!!

You can see the side wall damage, I suppose the tyre was rolling way too much.
