My 'Moment' @ Japfest, Donnington

[Mr Burns]

So I tagged along with a few friends to Japfest, and they managed to talk me into booking a tracktime session seeing as I'm keeping the Civic (for now!). I'd been around the track before but only as a passenger, so after a couple of laps I decided to go for it down Craner Curves...

Cracking stuff ste,car looks good as usual.

That's the bit of the track that scares me, lift-off oversteer ? Was stood near that at FCS taking photos, saw a 200 go off the track in the exact same position.

Civic looking great - snap

Tempted to get pre-facelift rear lights ? Hate the lexus look.

Heard the revs drop too late and my heart sunk!

Yeah just lifted off at the wrong point, I intended for the back end to slide a little so I was ready to correct it. I would consider pre-facelift lights yes, they do look better! Are they easy to swap?

 

[Slammed172]

Haven't done it yet, but I intend to, they are only cheap off ebay.

Fairly easy, got to drop the rear bumper sadly, no biggie.

Real men don't lift off...

Sweet man, nice track action too!

Looks great Ste, that white swift in the background, you didn't happen to see it on track?

It's charged and apparently not a lot got by it.. Makes me tempted to charge mine.

 

[Mr Burns]

I didn't see it on track, if I'd known it was supercharged I'd have looked out for it lol.
