Short version? Caustic got into the condensate tank, was circulated through the steam system and back through the turbines. It absolutely wrecked shit.
I’ll post some pics when I compile enough.

Not looking good for at least the first part of the 2025 season. If the opportunity arises, I will likely co-drive my buddies NB or Civic for seat time.

So after a few years, I entered an event! I’m co-driving my buddies mental 97 Civic and I’ll report back after the event.
FTD was 46.6 and the faster guys were running 47s and 48s.
I managed a 49.638 in a car I’ve never driven after two years away
I’m content and had a blast

This was the “get to know you pass”.

My next pass I decided to push a little more and find a rhythm with the car. Just about lost control at the end of the main straight section but my quick hands saved it.
OP
OP
By the third pass, I was getting more comfortable. There were plenty of instances where I was not on throttle enough and that cost me. Video cut short due to phone overheating.

OP
This pass was the first one that everything started clicking for me. I was finding more speed in areas and going deeper into the braking zones. However, at the end, they told me I had to rerun because apparently a cone was misplaced or something.
OP
OP
My rerun, was nearly identical in time, but I somehow either knocked it out out of gear or it popped out of gear in the section where it transitioned from one parking lot to the next. That inevitably cost me some time and this should have been a faster pass.

My last pass of the day was my hero pass. Ultimately the fastest, but I missed a pointer cone and was rewarded with a DNF. That’s just racing.

I missed a video and I’m gonna have to figure out what the sequence is.

One of the most, if not "THE MOST" fun cars i have ever experienced was a built naturally aspirated 2valve 4cyl civic 2door sedan. The car was mostly gutted and lite which made up for late of engine grunt, but dang would that car hug the road. My driving experience did not put the car on its edge, but as a passenger while the owner subjected his experience on the back twisty roads....it was scary no doubt but the tires never let go and I was very thankful or the 5point harness. To this day i can still feel my brain sloshing from the gforces when braking

I’ll be back in the demented Civic and running in XB today. I took some time to take more pictures of the car for you guys. This thing really does rip.
