This WRX might be the perfect TIME ATTACK build… | CARNATOMY

Posted on by Konig Gfx

In this episode of Carnatomy, we take a deep dive into Gridlife Time Attack driver Joshua Halka’s 2011 Subaru WRX and break down what makes it such a focused and effective track weapon. Built to handle the demands of competitive time attack, this WRX blends smart engineering, proven components, and driver-driven development into a package that’s fast, reliable, and purpose-built.

A standout detail of the build is Joshua’s choice of KONIG Hypergrams. As one of KONIG Wheels’ most iconic designs, the Hypergram has earned its reputation through lightweight construction, strength, and real-world motorsports performance. On this WRX, they’re not just for looks. They play a critical role in reducing unsprung weight and improving overall handling on track.

We walk through the car’s setup, discuss how each modification supports Joshua’s driving style, and explore why the Hypergram remains a go-to wheel for grassroots racers and professional drivers alike. Whether you’re a Subaru enthusiast, a Gridlife fan, or someone building a street-to-track car, this episode offers a closer look at how thoughtful parts selection turns a WRX into a true time attack machine.

James Houghton Takes Home 2nd Place in Super Lap Battle at COTA

Posted on by Joey Redmond

Super Lap Battle does a great job of putting on an event. Great competitors, great cars, great venues, and a world-class event staff. Just a couple of weeks ago was no exception when they visited COTA.

James Houghton pushed his K-Tuned/Lavigne Motorsports Acura Integra Type R to its limits and finished a lap around the 3.427-mile Circuit of The America outside Austin, Texas at a blistering 2:11.811. This unlimited class is a no holds barred racing battle and third place found themselves almost 5 full seconds behind the Type R. The K-Tuned/Lavigne Motorsports makes a whopping 809hp out of a K24 Honda engine. This amazing machine relies on the Konig Dekagram specs here(18×10.5 et18 / 17×9 et35) that implement Konig’s flow forming process to ensure durability and an ultra-lightweight performance feel.

Konig had other great performers at Super Lap Battle weekend at Circuit of the Americas and the second fastest one was Sally McNulty in the IAG Performance Subaru WRX who finished 9th in the Street class with a time of 2:34.363. Just behind her was Jackie Ding in the PhD Racing Honda s2000 who logged a very respectable 2:36.298 in the Street Class wrapping up all the top Konig Wheel performers at the amazing 3.427-mile and 20 turn track deep in central Texas.
