This is pretty common actually. It's an issue with not having enough negative camber, too much lateral forces on the sticky surface rubber when you are turning causes the rubber to start separating. In order to reduce this, you'll need to add negative camber to your suspension setup.
I'm full on race car mode, but here are my specs:
Fortune 510 Coils 10K front 8K rear
Whiteline front sway bar (27mm vs 29mm OEM)
Whiteline rear sway bar (26mm adjustable vs 20.5mm OEM)
Eibach rear camber arms
Whiteline rear toe arms
Alignment:
-3 camber out front (I want more, ideally -3.5...
I'm starting to look at the Flex Fuel options for the FK8, been loving my PRL bolt on tune using my KTUNER, let's see what we can do with KTUNER and E85
Between us gals, I do ok. I work a lot (day job as a director of operations for a large accounting firm, multiple real estate properties and rentals, Youtube) and have been saving/investing as much as possible through my 20s. I'm 32 now, so the BIGGEST hit by far has been and will be the time...
Yea, the track itself is EXTREMELY challenging. I've been to NJMP (both tracks), NY Safety Track, Watkins Glenn, Palm Beach and Pocono, Shenandoah has been the bumpiest one with the least amount of runoff I've ever seen. I should have probably taken that as a hint to slow down, but I really...
I know this guy!! He's that cat guy no one likes....... :hide:
LOL - in all seriousness, you guys can reach out to me on my instagram or facebook pages, happy to chat/review/give advice on stuff.
And yes, crashed the R doing exactly what I wanted to do with it - racing it. I'll put her back...
It's really tough to give advice, so I'll share my experience (I'm currently 32). My Honda Prelude was the only car I owned from 2008 through 2018 (I've made north of 100K since 2013), and I only bought a NEW car after I was making north of 150K per year, and AFTER I had bought my first house...
play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Street racing is dumb for many reasons, one reason people don't talk about is that it really doesn't mean anything. For real results, you need a controlled environment - there are places that you can take your car to and roll race/drag race. Better yet...
I wouldn't hesitate to run the Ktuner system. I haven't had any issues with the tuner or the tunes in my Type R, and I have a lot of friends with both Hondata and Ktuners in their 1.5ts, running fine. Honestly, the clutch is usually the first thing go, and that's mostly based on driving style
Hey Jason, we've spoken via email ([email protected]). I agree - saving 5 pounds of weight does help track performance, but as an aspiring racer, all costs come out of my pocket at the moment, and those costs add up QUICKLY! I think 3-4 sets at 80 bucks each (or around 300 bucks) will...
Yea I did find those drilled rotors on Tire rack for the Type R, can't believe there aren't any other choices except for the super expensive gyrodisk! While the gyrodisk are nice, I'm not going to gain seconds off my lap because I'm running it, and since my racing is wife sponsored, I need to be...
So, I'm stockpiling parts for the 2019 track/race season. I have a large parts bin already in the shed ready to be installed (IC, DP, FP, Engine mount, Radiator) and 16 200 TW tires and a set of hoosiers mounted to wheels as well.
What I need is to stockpile cheap slotted (or even just vented)...
Good time to update this thread! The front ones, the ones that do the great majority of the protecting, stayed on perfectly and are doing a great job. The rear ones came off after backing up into snowbanks. If you never hit reverse on snowbanks, they will last. Otherwise, they will not.
A lot of it will depend on how it was driven, as usual. I imagine a Hatch Sport to last a LONG time, as it has simple electronics, but if it's driven like I drive em, the motor, trans and suspension will be entirely worn out after 5-8 years. Now, the CVTs.... Well, don't expect them to last...
Hey there, thought I'd post a helpful walkthrough of how to root your Type R headunit and install tunerview. This works with any 10thgen Civic with the touchscreen display.
