There will be more photos going up once my mate has edited them on the forum in my signature, so tell him to just keep checking there.

Was £99 for the day.
Which tbh got a bit boring as it's that short. But the £99 including breakfast and lunch. And a 10min qualify and 30min karting race at the end of the day.
I have done a few evening ones which were good. Going round in the dark
which was £79.

Nothing much to update on really. Car is still pretty much standard. Apart from i bought a Spoon N1 + Spoon N1 b-pipe for it. Its fairly loud day to day tbh, bought a bung for it. But is so boring so rarely put it in.
Done a few more track days since i last updated. Only got a couple photos from Cadwell and Knockhill last week.
Cadwell 21st Jan 2011
Video of how loud the exhaust is going by. (skip to 40 seconds)
YouTube - Spoon n1 ek, cadwell park 21st jan 2011
Knockhill 30th Jan 2011
Managed to find some footage from someones car, skip to 7.08 if you want to view.
YouTube - Honda Prelude Knockhill 30.01.11
Was freezing cold at knockhill, they had to grit the track in the morning to get rid of the ice. Track was very slippy all day but was still good fun, just have to slow down and adjust driving to suit. Was a DC5 there which i had a bit play with, not massivly faster in a straight line, but enough to stay ahead and start edging away a good couple of car lengths. Was good to come up against one and see the difference though.
Needs a bloody good clean as its hacky atm from all the salt and **** on the road.
Needs a service, some new discs running those EBC Bluestuff pads at the moment which seem very good.
Hopefully away to the Nurburgring +possibly spa if the timing is right and i have the money to do both, around Easter time, hopefully all will go well

Was going to attend the EK9 trip, but tbh i cant wait that long and will spend the money on UK trackdays.
Planning on going out 21st April for the easter weekend, staying in Andeau for 4 nights. But after my mate mentioned it, tempted to go out a few days earlier so we can do Spa to.
I miss my N1
Lol it is loud and drones a bit normal driving, bung gets rid of it though. On a track its awesome. Certainly makes the car pull better, especially before v-tec.

Just got back from the Nurburgring today, was there Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon and left Tuesday.
Some photos I have currently found, got some decent in car footage this year to, just need Beardy to send me the files so I can crop/Blur out **** bits lol and upload. Got some good footage racing an Evo, Golf MK2 turbo and a BMW.
Had a couple of close calls, Golf turning in on me, M3 slamming the brakes on me, and over shooting a bend a little bit on the up hill.
Was loads of Honda owners tooting, waving and taking photos so I am sure al find them across the internet at somepoint. The people over there seem to love the EK9s, tons of people coming over and asking about it.
No idea of BTG times as I never got a clean lap. Even with traffic/slowing for crashes the times were under 9mins iirc.
Was really impressed with how the car went, could do with some more speed up the hill.
On the Monday, we got to do a combined lap of the GP track and northloop. I personally felt it was a car killer, so only did 3 laps of that on the Monday. But good to have been there and done it
Lost my red Honda badge in the karousel lol
EK9 is obviously mine, Silver EP3 is Richie2104 and the DC5 is Beardy.
