  2. New Jersey PRL - intake, inlet, downpipe & front pipe

    Do you have the other parts of the inlet pipe?

  3. HEL Oil cooler install… some things to watch out for

    In the spirit of PointbyPatrol and others sharing how they installed things I wanted to share some insights and ideas from my recent install of the HEL oil cooler. TLDR: - The kit has great quality of parts - IMO the design of the hose routing creates reliability risks (hoses rubbing on things...

  4. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    correct.

  5. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    Hi folks… So about a year ago I ran a head to head test of tunes you can buy for a stock car. The results of that test can be found here...

  7. Virginia ISO stock FL5 wheel / set of wheels

    Hi folks, Bent a rim on a pothole. Looking for either a single wheel or a set. Tires a bonus but not required. PM me if you have something!

  8. Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

    Do we want to give VIR one list of people with garages we would like to be next to each other?

  9. Current best intercooler for track use?

    It depends on the conditions of the test and what the definitions are of the measurements. If it is sustained over 20 minutes of hard use AND the peak is indicative of the broader curve that could be insightful. Can you elaborate pretty please?

  10. Current best intercooler for track use?

    Hey folks, I will be joining the TSCC event at VIR in May. Have done a lot of track driving, instructing, and racing back in ECHC H1 back in the day but this will be the first time with the CTR on track…and first time being back on track after a solidly long layoff (kids keep ya busy...)...

  11. Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

    Hey folks - Just saying I will see y’all at VIR. Went with the garage option as well so I dont have to lug the Easy Up around.

  12. Upgraded turbo to lower temps on track? Versus make more power.

    Hi folks, Car is currently stock other than a tune and (soon as I install it) an oil cooler. I am trying to plan out the mods for the car with three goals in mind: 1) Keep in daily driver reliable 2) Make modestly more power on the street. 400-430 3) Avoid overheating on track under...

  13. FL5 Overheated on Track

    This is awesome and sounds like exactly the right approach. question in the interim… do the dual radiator approaches leverage the stock radiator or aftermarket? I have been looking at aftermarket but would probably hold off if it will cause fitment issues.

  14. Head to head comparison of “off the shelf” tunes for a stock fl5 coming soon. (UPDATED WITH INTERIM RESULTS)

    So I am not a tuner so am just speculating. But my bet is two things are true: 1) Tuners want to get as much power out of the 93 tune as possible so they want to optimize power under good conditions. Power numbers sell :) Particularly since they also provide 91 octane tunes that are more...

  15. Head to head comparison of “off the shelf” tunes for a stock fl5 coming soon. (UPDATED WITH INTERIM RESULTS)

    Honestly both the tsp tune and Phearables are achieving a lot with a completely stock car. I suspect they are both pushing as much power as safely possible via boost and timing with the stock set up. But ultimately as you approach the limits you will be dependent on fuel quality and other...
