  • Keeping the competition behind while racing with powerful muscle cars was a challenge and a half. But we managed it -- until a major powertrain issue struck our Honda Prelude down at the worst possible time.

    What a great view of the Monza in action!

      It seems to dance a little under braking, but it looks good otherwise!

    Yeah, you were doing really well. But it sucks you couldnt finish the race. Did you fix the problem?

      Thank you! I'm afraid the fix involves replacing the engine. There is a big chunk missing out of piston #3. Our best guess for the moment is that the FRM cylinder wall liners on our Honda H22 engine wore through, and the piston ring contacted the bare metal of the block, resulting in the failure.
      Plans for our new engine are already in the works, and we hope to have it in and ready for later this season.

      @@StudioVRM Thanks for the info on the engine. It will be interesting to see what you run next. I believe I remember reading about your h23a1 vs the current h22. So hopefully the new engine is just as good.

      @@Exhaust_power It's going to be another H22. But it's going to be very different from what we've run before.
