If you guys haven't seen it The 24 Hour War is a great doc. It's about the Ford vs Ferrari rivalry at Le Mans in the 60's.

I’ll try my best! And the Van Dayum was my favorite at Blue Owl for sure!

did you guys give Victor sh*t for not wearing any IH clothing? Now that I think about it, when I was on IG I've never seen him wearing IH.

@Chap I'm going to watch that when I get a chance. Thanks
Here is the trailer to The 24 Hour War

I definitely did
I don't believe he owns any IH yet, he just loves the community and is always looking for passionate people to hang out with. -
You would absolutely love it @louisbosco , but it is massively brutal.
it's on the list. one day i shall…

For those of you from the Austin Meet Up are interested in how the “24 hours of Lemons” race went that @formulapfaff was a part of, I figured I’d share some pics…
Definitely not anything like the COTA race that we were so lucky to have been able to experience.
Their team’s “race car” - civic sedan with a GSR Integra engine. Even the guys in the “fast” cars said this thing could haul…
Even if the radiator cap couldn’t manage to stay on and keep the engine from overheating…
Overall, their team didn’t have the best of luck thanks to quite a few penalty’s (they make you take a “time out” if you spin out (which they did often), but they managed better than their other team…
Thanks again to everyone who made Austin so much fun for us! It was great meeting everyone and finally putting voices to all the WAYWT photos [emoji4]

@louisbosco - there was a team that had a rather "professional" race ready integra and they seemed to be quite talented at driving. The team captain at a Type-R engine in his Civic Hatch that he said was his track day car - I can only imagine it was pretty quick. It's essentially the same engine thats in the 2L version of the S2000, correct?
-
@Appfaff i don't know much about honda's except it's highly rated k series which are in the type r civics and integras. the ones in the s2000 are f series if i'm not wrong. i'd assume they're different because the s2k has to be designed for RWD fitment..
-
@louisbosco - good call, and I believe you are right. My dad has an S2000 and its pretty "revvy" - even more so than the GSR F18 that the boys were putting down this weekend.
-
@Appfaff yeah the s2k are known to be one of the few high revving cars. 9000rpm all day long..
and maybe a single turbo conversion with it's weight ratio, you're looking at 11s quarters. -
Finally getting around to posting the 35mm photos (along with some phone shots) I took while in Austin. Sorry about the wait…I'll try to keep these in chronological order.
(for those interested, film shots are on Nikon F3HP + Nikkor 50mm F/1.2, using 2016 Fuji Superia 800)
@Appfaff and I ended up with an IH popup shop in our hotel closet

Handing off the world tour jeans to @Broark
Was a real pleasure meeting so many IH people, especially Giles and Paula, y'all are both great company.
It's easy to see why Iron Heart is such a tight community.
