Thanks bro. The qualifying times are erroneous though, some of the Q2 times weren't captured.

My quali time was 1:30.81. I think Jeff was also at the 1:30 range. The other Mazda 3s that joined were in the 1:35-1:36 range, for both 1.5 and 2-liter engines (also OVT tuned).

I learned Jeff's OVT-tuned 3 now has an 8000 rpm redline, and when paired with his daily Tanay driving experience, resulted to really good results. What's his Tsikot handle? I didn't know he was also a member here!

For me? Regular road tires, ordinary 95 RON fuel, spare tire intact, bone stock engine, brakes, and suspension. 😊

I literally just went from my workplace to the track. Yung mga sapatos atsaka damit ko nga na nakahanger sa likod di ko nababa eh. 😂

Yup! Fun little kart track. Very short straights so it's all about cornering. Lots of late apexes too.

Nice, so its all about the skills, i can see the corners equalize the engines. what's your alignment settings btw? you can do tricks in there

[jut703]

Am I seeing this right? Jeff Go's 1.5 Skyactiv3 did a 1:21:28? Dayummmm. He's a track newb whose only real performance mod is OVT. Very promising!!!!

Coilovers too. suspension settings matter more in a small track like this. Given the Mazda 3 already has superb handling, fine-tuning the suspension to minimize understeer is a big help to maintain cornering speeds. ProjectMu pads also dissipate heat better than OEM pads, which helps in terms of longevity after consecutive rounds. Ultimately though, it boils down to the driver and the organizers took notice how much Jeff improved from the last leg of Touge Battle, also in Tarlac. 👍

All factory stock settings. I'm on stock suspension so there's really nothing to fiddle with.

The most impressive bit for me is the 1.5 LXi with a PH15 (non-VTEC) engine qualifying at 1:24, faster than almost everyone except the Mustang V8s and STis.



Btw the battle rounds layout is different from the quali layout (full track), since they shortened the track by removing the first corner because of puddles brought about by the heavy rain in the middle of the day. Different heats also faced different weather conditions which was why the organizers used qualifying times as the basis for the day's fastest lap since the weather was more consistent in the morning.

Still... an EJ20 Legacy? Should never be faster than a Civic RS. Not unless he's packing some heat under the hood.

My Civic is just a 1.8

Yeah very cool that we had the same time to the last hundreths of a second. We also have the same background of winding roads as our daily route. 😊

How do you hack paddle shifters into the 1.8?

I can speak for the M2 DJ....a calculated guess that the new CIVICs (1.8 & 1.5T)share the same harnesses...but here's what I did....
My hobo's clockspring lacked the pins for the paddle plug, so I got 1 w/....same used in 3s...

Got the paddle harness & the bundle of 3 cables that would run behind the clockspring terminal to the main cluster harness


Of course, the paddles & a custom milled adapter my bud crafted...but you can use an RS wheel in your case...this 2 is an ongoing project.

Finally...paddle display is alive...


You'll need to compare your 1.8's harness w/ the RS' to figure parts you need. Skyactivs share a lot of common parts across models.

The ever-evolving project's cockpit currently looks like this....
