My SiR at Honda Australia's Roadcraft Training ski

Reposted from the Automotive forums:

Everyone's seen the pics of my SiR so I thought I'd pop these up from the NSW Honda Car Club Xmas meet at Honda Australia's Roadcraft Training (HART) center at St Ives, New South Wales. We were out there today and got to use the skidpan for motorkanaing. Lots of fun (the ITRs were occasionally getting into second - my ratios kept me in first driving conservatively.

We did a dry run and then got the track wet down for some fun and games. Playing were about 5 ITRs, my Civic SiR, 2 '90 Preludes, a WRX wagon, a full house Silvia and a stock new Silvia, 2 real 4WDS (bloody fast would you believe in the twisty cone designated courses) an old skyline a few commodores and a Mazda 121. Fun day out, but my handling loses out to the ITRs even though my car is lighter and we have the same wheelbase. I was about 2 seconds off their pace.

No action shots unfortunately - some on video that I'll try and get stills of. One Wrong direction - no offs, but the sound of the SiR and sme of the ITRs bouncing off the rev limiters was cool

I think the pics should be titled: When I grow up, I want to be an ITR too

Yeah - we were talking about that yesterday. Euro/USDM headlights (look better than the JDM IMO) and a different rear sespension setup - but the damn things still handled absolutely flat. Rest is JDM Typr R.

Mind if I move down Australia with you for the winter so I can at least have my racing fix till winter is over? lol. Course i'm too slow, your SiR can keep with type-R's, and I know from driving them and from my last track race I have no where near what it takes to hang with one. Nice pics BTW, if you get some action shots do share!
