i've gotta say, i'm very surprised at your temps. your not the only one whos battled with keeping temps under control on track and yours in the best i've seen. even in the UK on my FK2R with 21c ambient and setrab 619 cooler i'm seeing up in the 125c oil area (post-oil cooler temps), with...

try pressing your foot HARD onto the throttle pedal. I've just had this fault with my FK2R (acuity spacer) and was intermittent only did it on overtaking. guess i press throttle harder in overtaking than just 100% throttle from lights or on multi-lane road overtakes. since the issue was...

as compared to having to see stonechips peppered all over the front of your car without PPF, or having the car detailed? nothing you do on a car will see that money again - cars are practically money pits. I regret not getting PPF fitted from new -i did it after about 6 months. first time i've...

I've the same on my FK2 which i'm waiting on Honda to recover from their cryptoware before i can get any parts. UK dealers are pretty much dead in the water and it's not a stock item anywhere i can find either... hope it wont be a re-occuring issue once the seal is replaced but not big money for...

TPW aka TDI-North in Warrington. Used 'em a good few times for both parts (my main go-to) but only once for work; fit Remus cat-back i bought from them. I could be wrong but i think they quietly colaborated with AmD on the FK2/8 mapping work. if i ever get a tune, these'd be the guys i most...

I've had the Remus on my FK2 since it came available in the UK - 3.5-4 years now. daily driver plus trackday every few months and it's not missed a beat. Valved is definately the way to go as i'd never be happy with any single one position closed is too quiet, full open would be a headache on...

have you tried higher ron fuel? also, do you have access to a code reader? something like Torque should give some insight to whats going on with live data.

my understanding is pads have overheated and left deposits on the disc. i've had it every trackday and while it does clear after a few weeks, the pads are never the same. also looks like you've not got the brakes as hot as i do as the calipers aren't discoloured yet. i've removed all dust...

VSA fully off? i'd pull the pads outs and take a look to see what state the friction surface is in. i've had a number of brake issues on my FK2R. you need 800c (1472F) all round, and I've cooked a number of fronts that are rated for track use. Tried the DBA 4000t3's with heat point and the red...

track mine in the UK, so ambient air temp is around 21c. fluid is ATE typ200. OEM discs: i've cooked 2 sets of pmu hc800 pads (800c temp) DBA 4000t3: 3rd set i changed to PBS Prorace pads which started to melt but still working fine. I also reduced session time from 20-25 down to 15mins and also...

if putting the heater on is helping, that says it's radiator not got the capacity; cooling system simply cant get the heat out. if tracks wont allow bonnet removal, tried raising the back edge of bonnet/hood? while i dont have an fk8 (fk2 for me!), coolant temp needle remain in the middle even...

would they mount on the plastic trim directly above the steeringwheel/dials? i assume you can then drop your wires through existing holes under this panel or drill through if not. depending on your chosen gauges, would be directly in line of sight so ideal for oil pressure etc. this panel is...

traffic is reasonably nice where i live but still had the dealers courtesy automatic and found it so much nicer commute to work. I cant help but think in todays world, manuals are on borrowed time. ever growing traffic and EV/hybrid on the horizon... autos just seem to be be the way things are...

i'm currently on DBA 4000t3's down to price and a handful of trackdays/yr. every time i see these types of threads, i always feel like i made the wrong move even though i'm yet to have any issues with DBA or know how they'll hold up. your wear rate is 2-3x better than i expected.

edit: just noticed this post has mentioned both the engine mounts and the lower rear torque mount. below response is on the rear lower torque mount... figured i'd chime in with the opposite and say it's well worth doing. I've their 70a mount which has been installed for 3 weeks now and it's...

not sure what book is, but 7deg sounds more like caster. 7deg camber would be something seriously bent.

for me, a Lexus is very high on the list. Toyota would be in the running to but depends what i want from the car. if i just wanted a bland everyday car, it'd be a lexus almost definately. the baby CT would be fine for me. if i went that way then assuming i still want to do track, then something...

good thing you asked. HEL cooler doesnt come with sensor ports. not really enough room on the sandwich plate for them. what i did was add in 2 inline sensor adaptors that ran in the oil cooler loop; oil temp and oil pressure. onboard car gauges don't alert when there's an issue and on the FK2...

there are a few Honda colours i'd love to see on the CTR... s2000's midnight purple, Imola Orange and a vibrant green to match the hue of BSB or Imola that catches the sun really well.

FK2R is slightly different. but IC is almost essential. it'll juts feel sluggish on pickup if your having intake temp problems. Instead of coolant temps, Oil cooler is also something i'd highly recommend. only done 21c UK trackdays but can fairly easily get oil upto 125-130c after 15mins, which...
