I thought sure we would be seeing some videos by now….. Wish I could have been there, but life got in the way.

I’m getting an odd buzzing sensation that I feel through the pedals and floorboard, at low rpm (2 K-4K) and moderate load. I’ve checked all of the exhaust mounts, and checked for contact with any of the undertray components. I’m beginning to think I have a motor mount going bad. The car has...

As the saying goes, “Can’t fix it if it ain’t broke!” After seeing this thread title I went back and watched a track video where I was chasing a friend in a CTR around Roebling Road in my GT4. Steady state cornering at 1.2 G on Goodyear SC3R with virtually no body roll. I was impressed enough...

At home is easy, since I have a 2-post lift. At the track I use a spare wheel to rotate cross corners by lifting one corner at a time. It’s tedious, but it works. No need to torque bolts for the intermediate moves.

I’ve actually been considering a C8, but I don’t want to be one of the stereotypical old white haired guys at C&C with a Corvette. So, instead I’m the old white haired guy at the track with a Boost Blue CTR….

I’m wondering if dropping back to 265 might work better on track. I recently noticed that the RE71 (both RS and RZ) in 265 actually has a higher load rating than the 275.

Stock except track alignment. 10.5” wheels with 275 fills the wheel well nicely.

I just sold my GT4 last week. I was having more fun on street and track with my FL5, and now I have a M2CS on the way to keep it company. I can’t really fault Porsche for raising prices. The retail market has gone crazy for the GT cars, and buyers lucky enough to buy at sticker were flipping...

Careful what you wish for…..

Just wait another 25-30 years......

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but this is so true. Step 1 was in 1991, Step 3 in 1997, Step 4 in 2003. Now, after 362 days on track, the caged track car is gone but I kept the trailer. I may still tow the car to the track on occasion to save my track rubber, but I'm enjoying the...

Amateur….

I didn't see any laps from Roebling Road here, so I'll add mine from last Friday. I blew turn 5, but still set my PB in this car. Had another good lap going, but ran up behind a slow Lotus not paying attention.

I turned 1:17.5 last Friday. Ideal conditions, sunny and cool. Data says there’s a 16 in it. Maybe next time….

Of all of the things Honda really does well on these cars, the fuel gauge is not one of them….
