[c_mack9]

nice, a singlecam.

[civicseth]

Can't wait to see it.

[cq88]

Man I can't believe that so many people on that link didn't know what Pinks was! That show is the greatest. That's what I want to do when I get the money and my own car. That's gotta be a blast

[c_mack9]

i hate that gay show.

[Y4RUH8!]

thats geoffs old motor :), before he built the GSR one

[BoostMan]

I've never seen the show, but the commercials make it look extremely queer.

[civicseth]

thats geoffs old motor :), before he built the GSR one
Who's Geoff? I want to do what Geoff did. :o

[jonyb]

This will be interesting. The show isn't bad. None of the acted-out-drama bull.... like tv shows are nowadays.

[Y4RUH8!]

Who's Geoff? I want to do what Geoff did. :o

geoffs the man who helped create full-race

yeah but what do have is one full race car vs. a daily driver. therfore negiations as to how many car lengths are given? wtf is that? line em up. if your daily driver is slower than that full race car, dont race or hand over the keys. they never race heads up.

[Gizmo]

When does the show air?

You have the option to run heads up if you want but most people take the easy way out and go "bracket racing" which is the gayest .... ever. Most people think that since they have a smaller motor that they will automatically lose. For all they know the other car could break down at the line.

[cq88]

sorry i didn't mean to type the "sh" word. I just now read the forum rules. I apologize to everyone

I've seen a lot of people in bigger cities actually race this way, by giving a slower car more car lengths.. it's really common there. kinda like bracket racing

[warwagon]

bwa... a honda... with jeff evans involved.... toss 2 maps on the ecu .... with them and then switch maps and rip the .... out of them. these guys are smart they'll win

[shawn.hayden]

I'll definatly have to set the TiVo for this....

"As much as the show bothers me, I think this is a great oppertunity for full-race, the honda community, and either way a mustang getting raped by a pink honda, or them having to take a pink honda home"

that sums it up

[jono]

well looks like they came home without a car. :(

anyways the night before the filming they ran a 11.2 at 130mph on their first run ever in it at the track and hit the wall at the end. messing up the wheels and some small minor things. so they stayed up all night fixing it.

they raced a rx7 and won the first race. something went wrong and they lost some power and car wasnt running right, then lost the other 2 races.

Supposly the car was making about 450hp on a stock block too.. not to bad for a SOHC..

[94MRej1]

hmm.. its too bad.. i needed a block... they could have given it to me.. lol

[shawn.hayden]

....it Jono did you tape it! I wanna watch it...

[csledd]

lol do people actually still tape stuff?

[shawn.hayden]

ya duh

[Amagine]

ya duh
.... it boy.. just go get a TVTUNER!:p then you have a tivo for less than 80 bucks:D

[jono]

it has not aired yet. it will be on next seasons episodes. which start in Feb.

[shawn.hayden]

how'd you see it?

heres some of the story about the pinks car, sorry i didnt have time to type anything until now.
7/05 One of the guys that used to work here (Cary) had his car jacked last year (stock gsr motor (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#), 2871R FR kit). We got the car back from the insurance company (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#) completely gutted. That hatch got even more raped here for parts on everyones personal cars. I Just asked whatever people take off, they put their old parts back on it. so we had a pile of useless EGcivic crap and a busted/gutted/sad eg hatch that we had no idea what to do with.
http://www.full-race.com/prototype/byebyepinkcar/FRpinkscar1.jpg
http://www.full-race.com/prototype/byebyepinkcar/FRpinkscar2.jpg
11/05 we were approached at sema to build a car for the show "pinks." I told the dude no way would I put my civic (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#) up. he said to put another car up. so i thought about it and the hatch would be perfect. We built a setup we were willing to lose -- stock sleeve D series.
11/05 Rich calls back, asks me if i want to do it, I talk to the guys here and ask them who wants to try to build a race (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#) car to run on the show pinks. Everyone is down, half of them put up their old parts. I made sure that every part of the car that was done, was in-house and that everyone involved learned something new. Everything from the cage that was welded by anthony (sales) to the manifold welded by jason and benson. sean and cj practiced making rollcages and jackson custom fabricated a rad support/traction bar setup.

11/05-1/05 - we (Full-Race) built a sheetmetal intake manifold (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#), prostreet exhaust manifold (didnt want top mount to look too sick on the show) 3" downpipe, 20"x8"x3" pwr core backdoor setup. 5 pt cage, traction bar setup, charge pipe setup, tons of other stuff. The setup was basically an off-the-shelf stage 2 B-series kit (60-1) with a d series head flange. We have seen 641 whp from this kit on a sleeved GSR motor, and expected to see about 530-540 on this stock sleeve d series

sean isnt very good at riding bikes

12/05 - Progress shocks and coil overs arrive
12/05 - ERL built the motor for us. They built the motor for my civic (countless 700whp dyno pulls, it just made 790.1whp and 610 tq last night) and it just wont give up, so I wanted them to build this motor too. It used wiseco pistons on crower rods, 100% stock sleeve, stock block, stock head gasket (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464&page=1#) D16A6.

12/05 - Headgames ported the living crap out of the head and intake manifold. It was unreal, i had never imagined a single cam port looking this sick. When he was done with that head, he said it would flow almost as well as a b series. Unfortunatley it took him 3 days to port it that big, but he got it done, and it was off the hook.

12/05 - PWR hooked us up with an aluminum radiator and 20x8x3 intercooler core to use in our backdoor intercooler setup (same as off-the-shelf IC setup)
12/05 - Competition clutch is set to release a b-series trans conversion kit for the d-series, but it wasnt ready in time for our race. We waited and hoped it would, but when it came down to it the race was too close and we needed a solution. Instead they put together a double diaphragm single disc 4 puck "stage 4" clutch that worked very well. I made 511 whp on one of these (after driving it 20k miles) so i knew it was good. The hard part was if we were using a d series trans, what axles would hold up?
http://www.full-race.com/prototype/byebyepinkcar/FRpinkspainted6.jpg
1/10/05 Jeff Evans flys in, gets off the plane, comes straight to the dyno. We start making dyno pulls, car runs like crap. It’s a bad FPR. Find another FPR, put it on, this one is bad too. Get another FPR, car is running on our stage 2 kit 60-1. 270 whp at 18 psi, what the hell?!?!?! Rip engine apart, swap cams, swap head gasket, swap cams, swap cam gears, adjust cam gears, swap cams
1/11/05 put car back on dyno. Same thing, no power. Rip engine apart, swap cams, swap head gasket, swap cams, swap cam gears, adjust cam gears, swap cams.
Hasport is amazing. They hooked us up with D series poly motor mounts (ours were jacked with the car) , and even better, some OG D series knowledge -- ZCs use an intermediate shaft setup with a burly diff.... So Brian at hasport pulled off the impossible and found us a ZC diff and a ZC intermediate shaft. He knew the inner CV was as beefy as the B series inner, so we had some work to do. Welded the diff up, turned it into a spool, and put it in our trans.
Get car back on dyno. Car makes no power. We did not sleep for 3 days, taking the head apart, and trying to figure out if a d16a6 block with a d16y8 head and water pump was compatible, and if the timing belt was off, why did it lose power EVERYTIME we moved the cam gear??
We got really pissed, then put a different turbo on. Our off the shelf t3/t4e from a stage 1 kit.
1/11/05 Put car back on dyno with the new turbo, instant power. Jeff tunes the car to 30 psi (yes on STOCK D SLEEVES) --> 460whp, and a FAT powerband.
We put about 20 different axle combinations in the car, and wrecked more cvs in the shop than ever before. It turns out that a b series axle is too short for the D series trans, so if you want this setup to work, you need custom axles. Its 4:30 AM, go to sleep
http://www.full-race.com/prototype/byebyepinkcar/FRpinksaaron.jpg
aaron is tired and pissed, cj is lost
1/12/05 Driveshaft shop saved us. They knew the perfect dimensions of the axles, next day aired them. We get them in the car by thursday, 3 AM.
1/13/05 Put car on dyno to set boost controller. Axles are popping out of trans!! We take axles out, check the diff, turns out an inner CV is bent. Scramble, steal a set of inners from Henry, and swap it out on a 1500 ton press.
Get to track Friday night, Tony1 hops in the car. The first pass the car runs an 11.2 @ 130, with a 1.79 60’, shifting slow and the engine was bogging in between shifts. At the end of the track, a slick blows out and the car smacks the wall. The in-car video of this is insane. We trash both slicks
We stay up all night, put a fake nitrous system in the car, cut the fenders, cut off everything that was scraped by the wall, get our 25s mounted on the lensos (didn’t know they were bent yet). Shop is a wreck, and sean fell off his bike.

1/14/05 wake up, try to get the car started. Figure out a few last minute dumbass things throw the car on the trailer, get to the track. Pinks starts in an hour

this was the hood off my street civic. now i dont have a hood http://images.honda-tech.com/set1/smile/emsad.gif
It begins. We get on the track, and we are racing a white FC rx7. these guys think this thing is a 9 sec car or something!!! They really thought it was FAST, I don’t think they realized it was actually a pile of crap
First race – tony does a 3rd gear burnout, we give them 2 lengths, they bog, we smoke them.
Second race – we “take the bottle out” give them 2 lengths, they bog, tony rips them out of the hole, car slows down at half-track, the rx7 pulls off the win?
Third race, tony tries to do a 3rd gear burnout, the car can barely light up the tires. He launches, the race is over, RX7 wins
Fourth race, we think the motor is done, I hustle as many lengths as we can, scaring them with "nitrous" we get 4 lengths off the bottle. Race starts, the car is going nowhere. We lose the car.
the white rx7 and pink civic come back around again. The guy who wins the civic hops in it to do a burnout/run it down the track, and stalls it. starts the car again and the car just limps down the track.

What happened to the car?
We think we tore a 6$ intercooler coupler! A simple boost leak and teh car was making no power, running NA... so even when you think you have your .... together, the simplest and stupidest things go and kick your ...!!
after the weekend settled down, we got my civic on the dyno, and made an early spooling 790.1 whp and 610 ft/lb of tq on our modified GT40R with the prototype divided top mount manifold...

[tpham]

aww that sucks!

[JH~Tibby]

The shows not that bad. Sometimes there are some good races.
We should do that with JonyB's civic hes trying to sell....Ua know he could just donate it and stuff and all you losers have a spare car in misc. parts laying around in your garage.
