You saw Ben compete in his first Time Attack even with his K-Swapped Civic, now it's my turn with my Evo 9 MR. This is what we built the car for! Follow Ben through the highs and lows of trying to compete in time attack.

Ben do yourself a favor and get some hard upper and lower IC pipes with silicone couplers instead of that 15 year old oem rubber crap.

@LOSisBEAST2 3 жыл бұрын

Yeaaa i saw that and was surprised. I thought he replaced it when did the build.

@KiwiTheKiwi24 3 жыл бұрын

I was about to suggest the same. The OEM pipes are horrible. Hard pipes really make a big difference on the evo, as well as an upgrade to the OEM wastegate to a turbosmart which will help hold boost in the upper rpm, and a grimmspeed boost controller. While you are at it, send your turbo to Kirk at BoostLab for an upgrade and you will have a stock looking turbo that will put out 400+ !!! Let's see you chase the lap leader after that :D

Dude. Don't worry about the pressure and sponsors. Your easy going nature is what can help you when you face heartbreak in competition. As for your sponsors, your viewers will stay committed no matter what your performance on the track is. Your sponsors better know this too. I know they are the first brands i go to or exclusively shop with. We are excited to watch yours and Ben's growth.

It's crazy how relatable some things are! I'm digging into a different type of racing, and every other weekend I'm left with those feelings of "needing to turn it on"... it's hard to leave it all on the track when you know you have so far to go. What about the huge consequences of a wreck or mechanical failure, injury, etc... In the end you can only reflect and move forward. Good luck in the future!

I totally get your disappointment about not being mentally ready. My first autocross event after years of not racing, I got lost on course. Not just once, but several times in a row. I was ready to throw in the towel and go home out of embarassment and frustration. I stuck with it (thankfully). The track or an autocross demand prep and mental acuity that forces the driver to be focused. In season two I’m now at least average but also know how to improve. Thanks for sharing an experience that wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s the reality of competitive driving and part of why it is such an awesome sport!

And don’t get me started on when I don’t podium i get so mad at myself! But look good days come and we always learn. Thing about Motorsport that no one ever tells you is that it becomes like a job. For you it literally is a job. And when you aren’t doing well at your job you get pissed. And as privateers we sink our money and soul into this sport so we ofcourse want to do well. Chin up man.

Man it happens. I had this issue when I upped my boost to 36 pounds. I eventually had to go over to a smaller house connector. Then heat it up so I could force it onto a pipe that was to big. Then once it cooled down it was so damn tight plus a better clamp. No issues. Me and you both Evo ix and in at right around 400whp just a little bit more on a stock turbo so we should be facing the same issues.
