While we would love to attribute this shockingly fast time to our dampers, the fact is that Evasive Motorsports aren’t any slouches when it comes to building a proper car for the track.

We weren’t expecting something that quick for what is essentially a still very street-bound car with full interior, full amenities. No time spent trying to fine tune anything, and that’s what they run……… Damn. On its maiden voyage in this setup at Buttonwillow, the car did something in the neighborhood of a 1:47.00 lap time. Wheels are a bit larger now, and they’re using a much more sticky tire. Other than that, the Super Racing dampers have our 3-way units installed, but valving has been kept as out-of-the-box. Now, with a slightly wider body and more aero additions, we’ve uprated their springs.
Back when the car had the very basics (our Super Racing dampers, racing brake pads, upgraded wheels & tires), they were using our recommended setup. We look forward to seeing the Type R run again this week!Įvasive Motorsports has only taken their GT-R, in its current iteration, to a couple of track days. Considering this specific Super Racing kit was on the team’s previous EG Civic race car, and that it has just over 6 years of use, the dampers were due for a rebuild anyway.
We did a refresh on the dampers last year, but unfortunately the car couldn’t make the event. No changes in valving, and spring rates are per our recommendation. oddly enough, their Super Racing dampers are completely off-the-shelf.

The SCM Type R has proven to be plenty fast, mainly because they know how to extract the most out of their Rotrex-charged K24 engine setup. Both teams using our Super Racing damper kits. Evasive Motorsports is bringing their R35 GT-R to run in the Unlimited AWD class, and Sport Car Motion (SCM) has their DC2 Type R Integra in the Limited FWD class. So there isn’t much for us to do except check out the progress of each session.įor this year, we really only know of two teams on TEIN-equipped cars competing. Again, most of the teams have their race cars sorted out. The past few years has really just left us looking like spectators, however. Funny enough, tire pressures tend to be overlooked. From that, we are able to make an assessment on whether any changes to the suspension should be made, or if some other aspect should be altered.

We bring one of our in-house engineers to speak with the driver and get feedback on how the car feels. We just want to see how we can extract a bit more performance with a little bit of tuning. So it’s not like we’re trying to rearrange everything they’ve setup and working for them. Our main purpose is to check out how the event goes, see how it has grown, and also to assist any teams/drivers that are using TEIN suspension.įor the most part, most teams/drivers are pretty experienced with their setup. This week is the Super Lap Battle Time Attack event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, hosted by Global Time Attack.Īnyhow, we’ve continued to attend the event for the past 6 consecutive years now.
