I thought this turbo is water cooled, because I see coolant water pipes connected to the turbo on front side.

They sometimes use those holes to strap down the car on the trailer. With a hook or something. Nothing to worry about. Just check that it does not rust around that hole.

LOL, they look very similar to the FK2R OEM nuts. I have the opposite, left the black FK8 Honda nut, right the chrome OEM FK2R nut.

I am thinking about buying one just to find out the difference. I own a FK2 now.

In the video you can see that the LE is less understeered/more oversteered than the normal version. Corner 1 for example. Wheels and tires can be easily swapped. Is it possible that the LE version has -2 deg camber?

I used to have a DC2 without A/C and removed P/S. On the track it was a bit too hot. Real Type Rs don't have A/C and radio, that was the original philosophy. Removing A/C helps eliminating understeer a lot.

This guy is able to reach 297 km/h with 420 HP.

Tire size is the same: 245/30R20Y Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2.

I think Honda has improved a few small things in the FK8 LE: - Less aero drag, small aero changes, this helps increasing the top speed. - Less weight (-47 kg Euro spec), lowers the drag at wheels etc. a little bit. - Less drag at engine because they removed the A/C + pulley. - Maybe increased...

He did the same with the normal edition FK8 and with the NSX. He knows the track very well.

The same guy:

I had the exact feeling, until I removed it.

They are compatible.

You are right about the original purpose of the valve. It should not do anything during clutch disengagement. But if you look at the valve itself, there is a tiny metal ball with a spring that is suppose to move when you press the clutch pedal. It still restricts the flow when pressing the...

BTW, did you get the correct version of the 245/30R20 Sport Contact 6 tire? There are 2 versions of them, one of them is Honda spec.

If you need new cheap but good brake rotors, get these https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/en/catalogue/honda-civic-x-hatchback-fc-fk-2-0-type-r-fk8/000127817-1 OEM quality (same Brembo) for $100 a piece. I think you can get them cheaper than $129...

These tires tend to melt at high temperatures. They are very soft.

It does not matter that much. These 3 are close to each other. The best is to get a oil temp gauge and watch the engine oil temperature. Too bad the FK8 does not have one. The FK2R does have one built in. If the oil temperature never gets higher than 100 degC (212F), then 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30 are...

It depends on the load, age and temperature. It is very naïve to say that your high quality 0W-20 doesn't sheer (never?). You can also find 0W-30 and 0W-40 oils that don't sheer (most of the time).

My Honda dealer said 0W-20 is for the emission homologation. They advised me to use 0W-40 Castrol Edge. Sometimes I even use 10W-60 (track use). No problems ever. I use the same Castrol Edge in my DC2 and S2k. 0W-20 Honda oil type 2 is fine for normal use, you don't HAVE to use something else...
