2 hours one way for the "home" track (Ridge Motorsports Park). ~4-5 hours one way for the "away" (Oregon Raceway Park) track.

Hey I'll take this. DM'd

Interested! PM'd.

For catless yeah. There's not much to screw up when you make a pipe. For catted, like the option I went with in the end, Mitch at @Rampagefab told me the HP and Torque gains were fairly marginal compared to the benefits of a cat (i.e. you don't smog yourself out at gas stations, and the car...

Thanks, I'll look into that gear set. I'm grinding 3rd and 4th so much on track that I'm starting to look into replacements lmao.

curious to as what you replaced these parts with lol. glws

@JW0914, your replies reek of the "well ackchyually" guy meme. You dismiss a professional auto detailer replying to you about his frequent observations about the correlation of touch car washes and swirls, but want us to take the word of the 16 year old car wash attendant getting paid minimum...

For someone who advocates "critical thinking", I find it pretty ironic that there's a clear lack of it in your post. I don't typically waste my Sundays arguing with people on the internet, but your response was so full of incongruencies that I felt compelled to respond. There's clear examples...

I would stick to OEM; don't fix what's not broken. There are certainly a handful of aftermarket pads that will do you worse than what Honda ships the cars with. It's certainly the case on the Type R.

Here's a list of all honda makes and models they support: https://paragonbrakes.com/brake-pads/honda-acura.html. If your car is not on here then ignore my post then lol.

After a few off-track excursions due to brake fading from Project Mu club racers in the front, I can't safely recommend these pads for anyone who needs their brakes to perform consistently. On track, they're good for 2-3 hotlaps, before requiring a cooldown lap. My preferred track pad are...

Don't waste money on rotors before you need to. Unless there's excessive cracking, or they're getting close to the minimum wear thickness, you can just do a pad slap and save yourself close to 1k in parts. I'm not sure about the base civic, but for the Type R, the go-to standard for rotors is...

New Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS means new PRs! Amazing what a difference these makes compared to my PS4S'. I guess you can use my full name, Robin Lu for these times as well. Track Name Time Video Link Thunderhilll East 2.06.520 Soon ™ Ridge Motorsport Park 1:55.299 Soon ™ Oregon Raceway...

Believe me I've been there and tried that. I replaced the rubber covers immediately after the first round of the exhaust half dangling off at track. Low and behold, it would do it again. The problem is that it would gradually slip out the left rear rubber hanger; bolts or not. I think I've had...

Send it

Interesting. I went with the RE71rs' after combing through reviews for their s-tier communication; while maintaining a-tier lap times amongst the 200TW category. The progressive loss of grip that I got with the PS4S' were really nice, and helped me learn the limits of the grip in a very safe and...

Any quantifiable metrics for oil temps/thermal dissipation capacity of this oil cooler? Although it has a large radiator, the intake "slit" looks tiny in comparison. When you look at the HKS one or the other one that goes in front of the radiator, there's way more initial cross section for the...

Going to my last track weekend next week at ORP before hunkering down for the winter! Changes to the car for this round are: Lowered on Eibach PRO-KIT springs. I went with the least amount of lowering possible as the car is already pretty low and it's my daily. Heard positive anecdotal things...

Order the R5 pads now. Always have a spare set and the tools to change it with you on a track day. The stock pads aren’t known for their longevity, especially if you leave TC on (which I’d also recommend for your first few outings).

Here man let me simplify it for you. Before your first track day, do the following: Replace brake fluid with Castrol RTF or any other DOT4+ racing fluid Replace front brake pads with Paragon R5 brake pads Do an oil change with your choice of full synthetic 0w-20 oil If (and only if) you're low...
