Went to VIR this past weekend and had a blast watching a lot of Acura's run around the track. I didn't stay to see the results of the race but i'm sure it'll be posted on the web this week.

I took a few pictures...check them out!

 

shweet,

hey what's that symbol on the back of your car?

 

'The Shocker' !! haha

2 in the pink 1 in the stink.

 

nice lip spoiler and a-spec side+ rear on no.15 track car

 

More sick cars...




May 2006 issue Turbo Magazine cover car...

 

is it just me, or does that engine look more pushed to the left in this picture?

KC

 

No, its in the right place.

 

I was thinking the samething.

 

Dang!!! loving the Sti and s2k...Those are some sick rides.

 

So many TSXs.....but, how come the SPoon one doesn't even have the SPoon spoiler on??

 

once again thanks for the pics ACCURATEin! i wonder what kind of heat wrap that is on the intake on that white tsx? terrific shots!

 

So hot!

 

I didn't get a chance to ask the team about that gold heat wrap. I've been trying to find out who makes it. That team was from Canada.

 

The only other group of people I've seen rocking that are the VW guys. Every other one of them has it.

 

Did you go down there with a group?
I've seen your car around town a couple times, maybe you missed mine, the plain as day CGP
Although I may have the only manual around town.

Great pics!!

 

I have some pics from the i-moto 188 car from when I helped them out at the miller motorsports park race. We covered everything heat sensitive under the hood in that gold tape like the intake, and remote shock reservoirs. Rodger foo said that stuff was like $100 a foot. I'll post pics later when I have access to my home machine.

 

$100 a foot!!!...sounds like a lot. Ever since I seen that gold wrap under the hood of that white tsx i'm been obsessed with it...definitely my next mod for the supercharger intake. I need to get my hands on about 3 feet of that wrap.

Didn't i-moto come in 3rd overall at the millermotorsports race about a month ago?

 

I went up there with my brothers wrx and a friends sti. Which days were you at the event?

 

Sorry to burst your bubble.....but Im rolling around Charlotte in a CGP manual too! Excellent choice my friend

 

$100 per foot, that's freaking crazy ... that stuff better get you from zero to sixty in -2.4 seconds!

 

The #173 Theetge Motorsport TSX came in 5th overall with a total of 150 laps.

#188 i-MOTO Racing TSX placed 11th with a total of 147 laps.

 

Yep i-moto came in third at millermotorsports check out www.i-motoracing.com the pic on the front page is from the start finish line just a minute after the race was finished. I'm the tall one on the left. And yea I'd have a bit of trouble justifying buying that gold wrap for a street car.

 

Dangit, and I thought I was special. Every other person I've seen with a TSX in Charlotte has been a middle aged lady. Except for a girl at work who got a CGP TSX (auto) about 2 weeks after I did.


I didn't go, I was just curious if it was an Acurazine thing. Did you just go for the day or for a couple? Also, my plain jane stock TSX would seem out of place with that group of cars.

 

You mean the Spoon race car? Whole thing is a EuroR kit.

Nice cars btw

 

So are you a member of their crew team? That's pretty cool if so...I was watching them do a driver change and fuel during one of their pits.

Do you happen to know what company manufactures that gold wrap or where I can find some?

 

Pair of nicely done Acura's...


Euro R Cockpit...


i-MOTO Cockpit...


My younger brothers WRX...


Spoon Nation...Fit, DC-5, DC-5, CL-9, UA6



Accord with J-series motor...similar to J32A5. Put down the fastest lap time of race...placed 8th overall.


To Diffuse, Or Not to Diffuse...


TL parked in front of i-MOTO trailer...

 

it never ends with you, ACCURATEin! keep pushing the modding envelope because your ride looks as if it belongs next to spoon lineup. no rl ... it hasn't had an impressive showing thus far.

 

No I'm not a member of the crew team, well at least not permanently. I was just there to help out cause they were short handed for that weekend. I've seen jimmyc post on this board before too, hes the suspension tech for the team, and a great one at that. I was looken through my pics from the weekend and I only have two after we had put the gold wrap on. It was pretty late at night and both pictures look crappy. Anyway I'll put the best one up. I'll see if I can find out the name of the wrap.

 

nice picturese accuratein

 

you got anymore pics/info on that accord?

 

I asked Edmun (owner of Opak) to make a TL racecar but he might not of understood what i was talking about haha.

The RL is being prepped for the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race coming up in December. And you're right, something happened to the motor during one of the previous events.

 

This team was from Marysville, Ohio which is where the TL is assembled. I spoke with one of the team members for a few minutes about the car and its basically just an AEM V2 intake and custom single outlet exhaust. Car is gutted, 18 bbs wheels and hoosier tires. Im not sure about engine internals or ecu tuning. I meant to ask him about the downpipes because the car didnt sound like it had any cats at all. It sounded awesome going around the track.

 

Thanks for the engine bay picture! I see you guys wrapped the Moton Suspension nitrogen tanks...i suppose those get a little hot under the hood. I like the way the gold looks under the hood...I was thinking it looks like something produced by the National Aeronautical Space Administration...maybe i should check with NASA.

 

I check modified mag website and found some pictures from the event...the photographers took a lot of pictures so check them out on their website for more.

Heres a few...

This car made its debut at the event..was built from the ground up and there is nothing really G35 about the car. Carbon fiber everywhere, moton suspension, adjustable sway bar from the cockpit, warning lights on the steering wheel, liquid buttom for the driver, engine from M45(4.5liter V8) I spoke with the driver for a few minutes, i forget his name.

 

 

nice pixs of our culture (acura family) even yours is a hott ride. i cant wait to see your whip in person at the Skyline dr this month.

 

Nice pics!

 

I found the gold foil everybody!

...got it from enjuku racing down in Orlando. It's good stuff.

 

 

great pics. acura overload!!
