  1. Civic Si in GS

    I'm not sure about your local courses, but down here in Spokes/SASCA land, most of our local courses require a 3rd-gear shift. Just get good at shifting!

    So yesterday, I finally got the chance to get some runs in on the Kumho v730s. I ran them at Beeville, but that was more of a scrub-in. On our local asphalt, HOLY SHIT they're good. Like, Yokohama good. Someone on another corner of the internet (forget where) suggested running them at a low...
  3. Is our stock hood steel or aluminum?

    Well, I guess the shop did one thing somewhat right, then. Thanks.
  4. Is our stock hood steel or aluminum?

    I had a fender-bender over a year ago, and I'm still finding things the insurance company's third-rate body shop did wrong (missing trim fasteners, etc.). One of the things they did was replace the hood. Today I went to change the transmission fluid, and I was looking for a place to stick a...

    How long did it take you to get your replacements? I just discovered mine are cracked as well.
  6. Civic Si in GS

    What tires/size? I'm running 34/30 on 255/40/17 RE71Rs, with the Karcepts bar at midway on asphalt, but I've had some difficulty with my car setup. Those pressure sound really high.

    Right, I'm just now getting to the point where my original fluid is starting to look brown, after ~12k miles of daily driving and autocross. I'm sure the stock fluid is fine, but I feel like I could benefit from grippier pads maybe.
  8. Civic Si in GS

    So, what are people doing for brake pads/fluid?
  9. New here and new to Si I have an issue :(

    Are you the same guy who posted this on Reddit or is there an epidemic?

    The tires will make a bigger difference than anything else you could conceivably do. Wheels will have to be purchased along with the tires, though, which makes the total cost substantial. If you want a sway bar to be competitive, the Karcepts bar is the only real option. It's a loud, clanking...

    RPF1s are a great choice. High quality, light, and a reasonable price. There's a reason that they're the most common wheel you'll see in grid at any given event.

    Yeah 3/3 on the Karcepts bar took me some getting used to. I think it's overall faster, but it definitely required a different driving style; my first few runs had me doing tank-slappers all over the course.
  13. Civic Si in GS

    With the Karcepts rear bar on the 3rd hole, 0 toe up front and factory spec in the back feels pretty neutral, maybe a little tail-happy even. Why don't you want to go stiffer?
  14. Civic Si in GS

    I'm running the Karcepts rear bar on the third hole - that's about the least roll you're going to get with the stock dampers.
  15. Civic Si in GS

    I haven't had any fuel starvation issues, and I tend to run my tank awfully low. I was under 1/8 tank for my final (and fastest!) run yesterday.
  16. Civic Si in GS

    Sportsmanship goes out the window when there's money on the line. Any amateur sport that pays out cash (or tires) is like that.
  17. Karcepts rear sway bar?

    I just installed my Karcepts bar yesterday. I thought the end-link length adjustment was a real pain in the ass - anyone have any tips or tricks for getting it right? What are the potential consequences of being off by 1/16"?
  18. Civic Si in GS

    It "seems" low to me as well, but as long as I'm not rolling over onto the sidewalls, I figure I'm maximizing my available grip. I'd probably need to go a little higher on concrete or racetrack asphalt, but all of our venues in central TX are low-grip, dusty, sandy parking lots.
  19. Civic Si in GS

    They feel stiffer than Rivals, but nowhere near as stiff as RE71Rs. I'm right at the wear diamonds, maybe a *hair* below.
  20. Civic Si in GS

    What tires are you running, and what sizes? That sounds really high; I'm running 33F/30R on 255/40/17 Kumhos.
