Yesssssir! First race no matter the time difference is a must watch live for me :) Hoping that all of our recent purchases of CTRs some how makes the Honda motors not be utter garage in the TRs lol
They are actually looking in good shape in free practice sessions, hopefully they can translate that qualifying in the first 10 and completing the race. I don't see Honda with bad drivers but reliability quest.

Honda Civic 10th gen What did you do to your Type R today? FDC33209-3FA6-4D03-A529-D9CCA74BD207
Installed the JDM yellow fogs & used the CR Spotless water filter system for the first time. I didn't rinse & leave it, like they say to do, but it is pretty awesome. Zero water spots & I dare say it was easier to dry. Kind of pricey, but I'll be happy to have it with the CBP finish. Sorry for the crap pic.

I have the CR Spotless water system as well. I love that thing. You're right. A bit costly, but it works so well. I never dry anymore.

That's awesome and pricey! I have a question, with something like that is there any maintenance that needs to be done? Like replacing water filters, etc?

You have to replace the resin when it gets saturated with contaminates.

I think the Honda/McLaren team dynamics were fairly cooked from the start, not much collaboration and fairly rigid parameters to work within from McLaren. Torro Rosso have essentially flipped that dynamic on its head, and as others have said here; things are looking fairly good :D

Hope its a great season for them, as the only (i think) engine provider without their own team, it could mean more H in F1. Also read somewhere Porsche were thinking of getting in the mix.

The dash is already cut out for the stock 3.5" center. The stock grill wouldn't fit for the 4"x6" so I bought a piece of ABS plastic, cut it out in the shape of the stock grill, glued grill cloth to it, and use double sided tape to secure it to the dash.
