I'm down in Lexington area, but I frequent Cincy. I've seen more DE5s down here than FL5s. I only know of 1 local BB FL5, but more than a handful of FK8s here. I've seen a ton of FL5s up in Cincy, but we're almost always in my Wife's car and not my FK8

Can you Link that mount? I need a better way other than my helmet mount

I tend to shoot for three course walks to try and nail down the direction it goes. Even then it's usually not until my third run I've really figured out how to approach it. For locals that's not an issue since we tend to get 5 or 6 runs, but this past weekend at a the Streetcar Shootout, I was...

What is your rear alignment set too?

This is an absolutely nutty amount of tire that can fit

Forgot about that change, I should know because I bought STU Letters the week before they proposed the change :rolleyes:

I need to get my Type R out to NCM or Mid Ohio. Mid-O is my favorite track. I wish I had it when I still lived in Bowling Green, NCM is so fun even in a 95WHP Miata. I'm bummed I am missing this VIR Excursion, but my wife is having surgery that Thursday before

I'd personally just bump up to a 265/35/19 since there are a ton of options in that size. I am running that size Vitour P1 on FL5 wheels on my FK8.

In GRM Testing R888Rs are slower than all of the current 200tws, while being worse in the rain, wear faster, and not legal for any "Street" classing in competition since they're 100tw. Are the Toyo Proxes R888R, RR and Nitto NT01 still competitive? | Articles | Grassroots Motorsports

I would argue the wear results will be the roughly same regardless of application when comparing tire to tire as long as the control variable (Car set up and track) stays the same. On our cars the fronts will obviously wear faster than the rears, and my FK8 is way harder on the tires compared to...

That's from GRM. They do actual instrumented testing, so its objective and subjective feedback making that chart. there is an updated version of it on the guide. Grassroots Motorsports ultimate track tire guide | Articles | Grassroots Motorsports

I typically have less issues getting the tires up to temp and typically need to cool them down some. I always set the cold pressures before my first run at the PSI I want for my hot Pressure, then bleed down after the first runs. You can try Tire blankets but I've found most 200tws come online...

FYI Your car is no longer legal for GS with the Strut brace, cooling plate, and PRL Intake tube. It's silly since these basically provide negligible performance improvements, but alas not legal. It would now be in STH or XA.

For the 2020 and 11th gen, 18x8"+45 with a 255/40/18 seemed to be the goldilocks set up for GS.

Apex Race Wheels has both Forged and cast options in SCCA BS Legal sizing https://apexwheels.com/vehicles/honda/civic-type-r/type-r-fk8#construction=forged&design=sm-10rs&finish=satin-bronze&frontQty=2&frontSize=18x95-et53&rearQty=2&rearSize=18x95-et53

The 11th gen wont be as competitive as the 17-19 Si Coupes just due to the bad gearing change made for MY20. However with that said it can still be super competitive regionally and even at larger events with a Driver Mod. I wasn't running a rear sway but was looking at either the Karcepts or...

I had a wheel tire plan through Allstate car Care (Purchased through the dealer for $895) That plan replaced 1 tire that got a nail in the sidewall, 1 bent aftermarket wheel, (OE Width and diameter) and refinished 2 of the stock wheels after I had my first ever run in with a curb just 2 weeks...

A typical single day at NCM Motorsports Park is around $300, $500 for the weekend. If you're looking for cheaper track time the SCCA Track Night In America program has cheaper options than a regular track day.
