I had the Radford Grand Prix Racing School a couple of years ago in the summer. It was 117° in Chandler, AZ. The first 3 days were on Hellcats. Out of a fleet of 8, only one mildly overheated. The instructor was running one with the red key (full 797 hp) chasing a Type R-engined Ligier JS F4...

Thanks! Yeah Turn 8 at Big Willow is notoriously bumpy. In this video I have the Swift Spec R springs, but my car is really stiff with all the RV6 arms and spherical bearings. My alignment was 3.3 front and 2.6 back. I just installed the JRZ RS Pro coilovers with even stiffer Swift springs, so...

Sharing my experience with a bunch of cooling mods and how they fared at a couple of tracks. Most of you will not be surprised by the results. Part I, at Chuckwalla with 95° heat. This video has the list of 10 cooling mods. Part II, at Big Willow with 85°.

Did you end up getting one? If so, what's your experience? Anyone else used this at the track and was overheating before? Thanks

Stock vs stock, the FL5 would still beat the FK8 at the 'ring, but not the Megane with its coilovers and other track specs. They needed to do these mods to push the FL5 over that hump. Once you mod both the FK8 and the FL5, they start to converge in performance, and the FL5 loses most of its...

One way to temporarily disable the Hondata traction control is to turn on the Cruise Control Main by pressing its button. But it will tun back on when you restart the car. To disable it permanently, you have to turn it off in the calibration and then re-flash. LIke others said, if you click the...

The best way to start is to go the websites of the tracks you're interested in and check their calendars. In your case: https://oregonraceway.com/scheduling-calendar-2/ https://portlandraceway.com/?/events/calendar And then click on the days you're interested in. It will take you either to the...

From the picture, the ECU and intake are significantly higher than the water level. The water is barely at the bottom of the grill. Anyway, I hope it's OK and not lost.

Looks beautiful! You went hardcore and installed a full roll cage, which is great for the track. But for the street, you really need to be very careful. God forbid in an accident, you could hit your head against the bar, especially that you deleted the steering wheel air bag, and the side airbag...

Am I the only one who thinks this may not be too bad? I see cars drive in flooded areas, at almost the same level as the water in the pic, and they're fine. Your car is parked and wasn't running, which is good, making sure the water doesn't get into the engine and hydrolock it. The seals on the...

I was told 18x10.5 ET47 requires spacers on the stock suspension anyway, and to fit it without spacers I'd need coilovers ?

I'm surprised there's no metal option. In this video, the Spoon cover sounds and looks like plastic. @fatherpain, is the J's Racing valve cover also plastic?

I'm interested in the 18x10.5 ET47 in black. I hope you can produce a bigger offset, e.g. ET55 (a la Titan 7 T-S5 Stig JDM). This will particularly benefit a FWD like the Type R to reduce scrub radius / torque steer. I like the robust spoke look of your wheels more than the slim spokes of the...

They're not cheap, but cheaper than what my local Honda dealer charges. I suggest you call them and ask them for a quote and when you can bring in the vehicle. Usually they can schedule within a week or two.

Evasive Motorsports did my bolt-ons, racing seats/harnesses, cooling mods, and aero. Very professional folks and high quality work. Chewerks did all my suspension mods and is the place to go to for race alignment and corner balancing (if you have coliovers). I also heard good things about...

Auto Explosion in Gardena painted my OEM bumper replacement (after I hit a tire carcass on the freeway that cracked the OEM lip/bumper attachments). It was recommended to me by @boosted180sx, who painted his Varis parts with them. They did a good job color matching Championship White for both...

I cut the bump stops based on Eibach's instructions below, only the bottom 2 cm. So I still have quite a bit of cushion left if the car bottoms out. Swift doesn't recommend cutting them. But the car was bouncing like crazy on bumpy tracks, see this section from the video below in Big Willow...

RE71-RS, 275/35R18, 35 psi hot. I may try lower pressure hot, but Buttonwillow is a track where you have to hit a lot of curbs, and some of them are nasty. I'm using RV6 in middle setting. I called RV6 and I asked them what stiffness the HPD racing teams use, and they said it's middle. They...
