After it’s success in 2009 by winning the club class Forced Induction FWD category TDI North are backing the Honda Civic EP3 Type R of Sean O’Neil again for 2010.

As can be seen in the picture some committed driving got the TDI North car off to a flying start with a 2^nd place in qualifying and 2^nd place in the Super-battle, lets just hope it can stay glued to the tarmac in the coming rounds!

This year the car has been completely rebuilt with a new chassis, engine, suspension and setup, which should enable the Honda to be even more competitive in what promises to be a very tough category for 2010.

Last year the car was driven by Paul West of TDI North but with Paul recently becoming the Managing Director of TDI North this year they’ve called in the services of another Timeattack driver and close friend Dave Thorpe to pilot the car, this will enable Paul to concentrate on supporting and setting up the car ready for each round without having to worry about how to get the close to 500bhp civic around the race track.

For the full specification of the car check out www.tdi-north.com and the team pages on the main Timeattack website www.timeattack.co.uk

We are pleased to announce that as of the 11th January Paul West has accepted the role as Managing Director at TDi North. Paul known to many at “tp” has already been helping out at TDi North for many years with the day to day running, electrical work and mapping and is a familiar face to customers and those at the racetrack.

Paul Jones steps aside to concentrate on projects and allow a more “normal” family time after years of long hours and late nights building one of the most successful tuning companies in the UK.

Paul Jones won his second Jap Racers title in three years, with three wins and two runners-up places to clinch
the title in a hard fought season.

After competing in two drag racing series this season we found it difficult to have the car ready for each event which ultimately cost us the HKS title this season, but with more resources available we are aiming for a more consistent season next year.

TDi North Civic breaks European Honda record with a time of 10.82 @ 138mph winning round 4 of the Jap Racer series at Shakespeare County Raceway and Currently leading this Championship.

After fitting a new gearbox it was our first chance to try our new 800bhp engine still running on regular V-power fuel and no gas either, we struggled for grip all weekend and actually reduced the boost to help stop the car from wheel spinning so much, we would like to thank everyone involved in helping us to achieve this record achievement.

We are pleased to announce we have the new FN2 model CTR now we can start our development process to produce some exciting new products all dyno verified, currently AEM have produced an intake system and Hondata have produce a Group N ECU and heat shield gasket.

This was our first visit to Santapod in our K24 Turbo-charged civic and after a long drive to Santapod we posted a winning time of 11.58 at 123 mph.

This was our first race of the season in our K24 Turbo-charged civic and our first chance to test the car on the strip, and breaking into the 11’s on our first attempt was pretty impressive posting a wining time of 11.93 at 124 mph.
