TSX Race Car Build (part 3)
Saturday, 21 June 2008
Since the debut, we learned a few things we need to do to improve the car.  This will be a long process, as we basically start from scratch.  Other than Realtime Racing, we are one of the few that runs an Acura TSX in the US.  When we built the civic we were able to hit the ground running since there are abundant information available everywhere.  Which is not the case with the Acura TSX.  We originally much rather purchase parts from Realtime rather than trying to re-invent the wheel.  That would cut our development time tremendously.  Unfortunately, budget constraint prevent us to buy the parts, instead we have to do our own growing pains.

TSX Race Car Build (part 2)
Monday, 12 May 2008
Since CT Engineering returned our car early, our resident wiring expert, Brandon can now start early on the wiring of the car.  We started with RSX factory wiring harness but rid off all the stuff we don’t need and add some stuff we need.  The harness is also modified to ensure easy engine removal, since we swap engines pretty often between Honda Challenge and Speed World Challenge spec engines.

The debut of a new car!  We have been quiet the past few months building the car.  Even though, it is not yet 100%, we decided to make the debut at round 5 Honda Challenge race.  The goal this weekend is to do a shakedown and see where we stack up with the competition out of the box.  There will be a separate article detailing the build shortly.  For Round 5 and 6 Honda Challenge is back to Infineon Raceway.  Located in beautiful Sonoma, California, the weather has been very beautiful.  The weekend was forecasted to be in the sunny 80 degree, which is the perfect weather for racing.
