    Wow thanks for that information! I have been running 265 35 19 RT660s Mike Leeder told me he ran 265 71r's when he took DS.in 2019. I have been running 31-32 psi in the fronts because he told me that was what he won with. I liked that, but this year Emery Seaton, 2022 CAMT champ in our club who...

    What tires was Alex Muresan (2nd place in DS) using at Nationals this year? Garrett Cogburn (4th) was on 275 RT660's. There was a mix of RTs and RSs as well as 255s and 275s down the field. What is the best tire?

    I am currently running the Karcepts rear sway bar on my 2019 FK8. It still makes the car handle well, but makes so much noise that I am considering replacing it. I do have the 4 hole model that replaced the 5 hole model that broke easily. Generous application of grease lasts only 1 autocross...

  5. Best mod for steering/handling?

    19 inch wheels, RT660 tires (265s), adjustable rear sway bar will help.

    Grinding is the precursor to pop out. Pop outs occur for me on left hand high G turns when the throttle is neutral (no power being applied or withdrawn). Just applying a little throttle or reducing throttle a little to apply pressure to the transmission seems to stop pop outs. I have had about...
  7. What's an oil change at dealership costing you these days?

    Billion Honda in Iowa City has changed my oil 3 times for $39.95 using a coupon I get by email from them. Full synthetic and filter. No tire rotation. This is a real deal since they normally charge $80.

    First autocross of the season in Iowa was cold and damp. The car popped out of second gear on one run. This was the 4th time that happened over the last 2 years. As far as I can tell it happens on full g left handers when there is a transition in which the engine is not creating force to speed...

    Interesting and likely correct take on the issue. You should try to buy a high end C8. Perhaps it is time for the EVs to take over.

    Discount tire will give you a good price and put them on even if it takes 30 min/tire!

    I have been using 265/35/19 71Rs on the Motegi wheels since 2019. I assume RT660's will be the same. I believe that 265 is the correct width for the CTR to do well in DS.
  12. Considering selling my 2018 Type R. What should I ask for?

    Here is the current going rate for a new one in Iowa City. I have a 2019 CTR and was just offered more than I paid for it. (not for sale!)

    It has happened 4 times to me (2019 CTR with 71Rs and Karcepts RSB). So far only during autocrosses and always on hard left turns. My trusted (really!) dealer said they find no issues. I do experience a brief grind as I shift into 2nd very rapidly sometimes. Slowing the shift time eliminates the...
  14. Too Old for The Type R?

    I am 68 and I was 12th in PAX at my SCCA club autocross yesterday.

    Alex, The best thing you can do regardless of car or setup is to attend an EVO school. You will get about 8-10 events worth of runs and the advice of nationally recognized competitors. The Iowa Region Club has one coming up. You have 3 days to register...

    Had a co-driver that was more than 50 years younger than me. He beat me by a second on a 35 second course. Why!!! My run: His run:

    Inside still looks good! Unfortunately, one event too late to flip the tire.

    You may have to wait for them to be available, but these are great and well priced. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/results.jsp?&autoMake=Honda&autoModel=Civic+Type+R&autoYear=2019&autoModClar=

    Love the "worker dance"!

    Nice run. Makes me jealous because we still have a foot of snow on the ground in Iowa. We even had to cancel some rally crosses. What was the temperature there?
