  7. First Track Session May 4

    I hope you have a blast. Most importantly: 1. Dial up gradually. I have seen some cars spinning out on their first event and the dial "down" 2. Memorize the track in your head (such as watching the same Youbute with a map in hand) 3. Be extra careful during the first session in the morning...
  8. Car Wash in Winter

    I live in Seattle, so it's relatively mild. I try to hand wash my car every 1-2 weeks in the winter on my driveway. Some tips are: 1) For soap, I use a bucket of warm water (not the cold water from the garden hose). This is much more comfortable for my hands. 2) After wash, I blow dry the car...
  9. Stock Tires in 5 to 10° C (50° in Fahrenheit) Weather

    I knew this topic was discussed many times, but here is my personal story. - I live in Seattle. On 12/24/2018, my (then) brand new Subaru STi slid down the hill and crashed onto the side of the road. - It had factory summer tires. It was about 34F with maybe 1/4 inch of snow on the ground. The...
  10. 2023 Nissan Z

    I, too, found the new Z super appealing. Well, I previously had two Infinities and 2 Nissan's. What scares me is the new Z shares the same platform/chasis with the 370Z (Z34). In other words, Nissan recycled the old chasis and gave it a new engine. Your thoughts? :)
  11. Finally got my 2021 CTR at MSRP!!!

    Congrats to quite a few folks here getting a new CTR at MSRP. Sharing something interesting with you - My local dealer in Seattle offered to buy my car. The first letter was for $31,500 maybe 6 months ago. And last week, I received another letter for $36,500. Mine is a 2018 with 19K miles. The...
  12. Extended crank

    The factory batteries are ... not so good. I had to replace mine within a year. I bought the Interstate battery from Costco (about $110 USD) and never had any issues afterwards. Just do it. You'll like the results. :)
  13. Final type r production numbers

    I read somewhere long time ago that, roughly 30-35% of R's are shipped to the US. If we assume a final production of 50,000, then roughly 15,000 would be sold in the US. I think this may be our closest bet. Cheers, :)
  14. Need advice for replace factory battery

    I got the Interstate battery from Costco. .I heard Interstate is the gold standard for car batteries. It costs just over $100 in my case. Cheers,
  15. Fk8 Battery

    I replaced my OEM battery because the car wouldn't start after sitting on the drive way in relatively warm weather (in Seattle). After swapping with an Interstate battery ($110 from Costrco), all was good. The local dealer wouldn't work on this one under warranty. The OEM battery was made in...
  16. Got alignment but car still pulls to the left

    Quickly chime in here - If your rims are bent, then typically you will feel vibration (sometimes at higher speed). That's what happened to my Honda Odyssey. The kicker is, you can't really see the bent until the tire is off the rim. Hope this helps, bro.
  17. Track wheel or wheel/tire guide

    I second Ayau's comment - I have a set of Enkei RPF1 (18X8.5). Those only weigh maybe 17-18lbs each, and you can definitely feel the difference a the steering wheel. My tires are Bridgestone RE71R (245/40/18). All together it's just under $2K. To me, this set up is a great bang for the buck, no...
  18. Need Advice: Track Day - Rear wheels like to dance during high-speed braking

    Thank you all for the great inputs. I also completely turned off the annoying stability control before each session (by holding the button for 5 seconds). :)
  19. Need Advice: Track Day - Rear wheels like to dance during high-speed braking

    Thanks, Lust. My car is completely stock, so the alignment is stock as well :)
