NEWS: Team B3Motorsports Takes Out The Street Front Wheel Drive Championship!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (incase posting in a forum isnt immediate)
Team B3Motorsports Takes Out The Street Front Wheel Drive Championship! It has been a season of incredible highs and lows for Team B3Motorsports. From personal best times - cementing the Astina as the worlds fastest regularly raced NA SP20, to constantly fighting breakage and wear on the transmission, driver Andrew Bode coasted to an easy season victory, despite being eliminated in the first round at the final event of the season. All in all, a great success for the only car which was driven to and from every meet, including interstate events, and raced hard in 3 states to insure victory. The car and driver now take a well earned break before the 2008 season begins at Melbourne's Heathcote Raceway in February. The 2008 season will be the farewell season for the tough little Astina, with B3Motorsport's next big thing being prepared during the season, ready for its debut in the 2009 season. We don't want to let too many secrets out - but rest assured it will be front wheel drive, it will be turbo charged, and it will run into the 8 second zone at over 150mph. The car body and engine are already in the workshop, with roll cage and panel work to commence very soon. That doesn't mean driver and crew will be sitting still on the Astina. With a reasonable break before Heathcote, the Astina will be torn down, gearbox rebuilt and upgraded, and a forged bottom end going into the FSDE power plant. The team is confident of having the car run some respectable 13 second passes before it is retired to daily driving duties. Team B3Motorsports would like to thank all those who have supported us throughout the year as well as friends and family who have ensured our first season out was a successful one. To celebrate - we're offering all our subscribers a 5% discount on Microtech LT10S engine management systems. To redeem your discount, simply add an LT10S to your shopping cart, and follow the checkout process. At Step 2 of 3, enter the redemption code "0d0fadd1de" and your 5% discount will be applied. A limit of one redemption per customer applies. You may give this code out to your friends to use. Offer valid until the 31st of December 2007. More pictures to follow.

i think the word you are looking for there is "everyone", not "anyone". this is a general release that has gone out, and no not everyone knows the full details about the car. yes it's a 1985 crx which most people know, but there's numerous secrets that are yet to be released

Nice work Andy, this new project sounds interesting, when will it be "released to the public"? So I'm thinking something along the lines of that orange CRX with the big custom front end and massive drag slicks. I like it!
But just for nostalgia reasons I reckon you should have a small SP20 badge on the dash of the car, just so you can remember where it all started!

all I can say is good stuff.
I've got Supernats at WSID this weekend - Mates Maloo is hoping to run into the 8's already been in the 9's but this time with FlyWheel out put near 900HP. I just hope I get a chance to go out and watch it run. Good luck with it. |

Congrats on the win, and good luck with it all. Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate it is yours, and you're passionate about it. But you certainly could learn a fews things that could help you, but unfortunately its not helped by the fact that you're a genuine smart arse most of the time...

it was a lot closer than the points indicate - dave homer was in a position to take out the championship - especially given the rule changes for the last round (he had a lot of work to do to get it, but he was well and truely within striking distance) - but the reschedule of the event due to rain meant that dave had some hill climb event to attend - and a whole bunch of other guys didn't make the long drive back up to brisbane from sydney to compete in the re-run. So it was a bit anti-climactic.

yeah saw i had the red light and just couldnt be bothered to keep pushing it hard. no point. that's the downside of a dyo race for the slower car. the person who red lights first loses straight away. the other guy had a larger breakout than me, so in a heads up race i would have won.
