  1. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    haha thanks. I'm not that OG though! I've honestly only been around since March 2019. Aside from the point, I'll still be around. I think I'm still a moderator on some of the fb groups and I've really built some strong connections with the CTR guys. haha.

    Also with regards to the overheating issue, I think we resolved it. But I guess I'll say it once more just to put it out there. There isn't a silver bullet to the problem. The solution rather comes in multiple parts. These parts consists of: 1. Better / More free flowing grille 2. C&R Radiator...

    I'm glad that I was able to save you some money. lol. But hey, serious talk.... the car doesn't need much and if it wasn't for it constantly having issues, I would've kept it. I honestly love the platform but I'm a superstitious fellow... and this car hasn't really worked for me. I was cross...
  4. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    Not my first choice but it seems like a worthwhile platform to check out. I came from driving a s2k and there's been a lot of comparisons drawn between that and the supra.

    Alright guys. If you guys haven't heard. I sold the Civic to a good friend of mine. So... i guess I'm just posting this as a means to get some closure. haha. About a month ago, we got the Civic up and running in time for a track day at Laguna. We had just blown the transmission prior to this...
  6. TX: Volk CE28 sport club 2 18x9.5 38 offset 5x120 w/caps with 265/35/18 Bridgestone RE71R

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic but is the hub centric ring necessary for our cars? I have the same wheels and I don't believe it's necessary..?
  7. Anyone running the stig spec titan7’s squared?

    There's one guy that did it. Jason Lewis. Look him up on fb. He should be in the Nor cal fk8 owners group.
  8. Anyone running the stig spec titan7’s squared?

    So would you be running the larger size squared?
  9. Anyone running the stig spec titan7’s squared?

    Are you talking about the reverse staggered set up...?
  10. It happened guys.... rev match/ emissions issue

    it's the fuel pump. My car wasn't on the recall list either but I guarantee you it's the fking pump.
  11. It happened guys.... rev match/ emissions issue

    Pull the codes and find out what the error is. No point fretting when you don't have any info.
  12. rampage drop in turbo

    haha. That was a nice read. ... But yeah! I totally agree. At some point, the car is modded beyond what is fun. I think sometimes you just get lost in the build and realize only after it's too late. lol.
  13. rampage drop in turbo

    haha. Good for you. I wouldn't be able to do it.
  14. rampage drop in turbo

    haha thanks for the kind words but I'm not the fastest driver around. I've been lucky to have been involved in some popular platforms in the past couple of years and even luckier to have met individuals who are far faster / more knowledgeable than me. So I guess the credit should be given to...
  15. aftermarket steering wheel - where do i put the controls though?

    haha thanks. Yeah I've seen it. I'm still not sure if I'm going to migrate over to the seeker wheel. I have a aim MXG installed and I honestly can't even see the dash anymore... lol.
  16. Weight reduction for the FK8

    sorry that wasn't something that we weighed.

    I already have the ceramic coated RV6 downpipe and it's wrapped. I'm not sure how much more this would help.
  18. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    My current solution involves mounting two oil coolers behind each of the side vents. I think the coolant already has enough cooling via the upgraded radiator and the AC condenser removal. As for the rest of it, my focus at this point is to emphasize on the components used. (You can see Lust's...
  19. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    THat's an interesting solution but I'm wondering how much it would cost. After this round of mods (PLUS FIXING MY DAMN TRANNY), I'm done with the car. My car hasn't ran well in 8 months. That's way too long. haha. If it still doesn't run after this, it's part out time.
  20. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    Yeah. It's kind of left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Mishimoto products. I really fking hate it when companies come out with something that doesn't work and sell you on it. Like... there are ways for you to make money AND come up with a honest solution. It's not either or.
