Very nice! I purchased SPC rear camber arms, but haven't installed them yet. Increasing the rear camber won't affect the rotation of the car mid corner? Did you have to adjust the stroke sensor position somehow? And has your toe in angle changed? At least on the 10th gens, people say the left...

Your reply just made me realize I wrote "toe out" in that post. That is wrong, I just edited that. Positive toe is toe in. You can adjust front camber up to 0.3 degree with the top strut adjustment. Not that it's needed, though. Your geometry is fine as is.

I recently posted the spec sheets for the FK8 and FL5: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/front-camber-question-with-offset-camber-joints.84256/post-1260985 The FL5 has slightly more front camber and slightly less caster. Now why are your camber angles so different side to side? Has your...

I purchased my PSVR2 to play GT7, but I can't do more than 2 laps before getting really nauseous. The fact these Type Rs are RHD in the game kills it for me - my brain fries every time I change gears with my right hand on the rig but the VR shows the driver using his left hand. Nowadays I just...

Not really. I noticed my peak oil temps on track went "down" from 123C to 118C when I moved from 0w20 to 5w30. I believe it should be the opposite, but I assume the higher OilP is affecting the calculation. I just consider my calculated OilT to be 10-15C wrong at all times. This is on an FK8...

Is this AEB the collision mitigation braking system? If so, you can turn that off every time you start the engine. That is a dangerous assist. I turn it off every time on my fk8. Once I forgot to turn it off during a track outing and an easy point-by pass turned into chaos in a split second. I...

Every car comes a little bit different from the factory. The engagement height is adjustable.

Just open a thread on civicx.com and people will help you with your questions. @Speedyserg comes to mind as very helpful and runs high power figures for a street driven car.

The oil temp is calculated, there's no oil temp sensor in our k20c1s. The ECU uses ECT and OilP as input, both of which depend on the oil weight.

I live in similar weather and I run motul 300v 5w30. My UOA results are fine. Few people run 40w oils on this engine, unless built. A good 20w oil should be fine, as long as you have good oil pressure. Note that changing the oil weight will make your oil temp "readings" inaccurate.

Yup, I have it in both my civics, it's awesome. Just wait until they release their shifter!

That's interesting. The ECU pulls power depending on ECT and IAT2 (oil "temps" are ignored...). The FL5 doesn't seem to have any problem keeping ECTs on check, so I can only assume it was your intake air temps. Can you remember what kind of temps you were seeing then? How were you tires by the...

Where I live there's no insurance as well. I do the best I can to avoid unnecessary risk, but I have come to terms eventually something is going to happen (and I have seen bad stuff happening...). Unfortunately, you are missing a small bit of joy this car brings you on a track.

By the looks of it, the TCX car seemed to have the same body panels as the TCR car. Then I found this article that says the "Honda Civic Type R TCX [is] a detuned version of the TCR-spec FK7/FK8 race car built by JAS Motorsport." Really cool pictures in it - I had never seen it in such detail...

The downforce from these parts indeed gives you 892N (~90kgf) @ 200km/h, but you still have to discount the lift the body of the car generates. Honda never released similar numbers for the FK8, but I too remember reading the whole car produced ~30kgf of downforce at that speed. So we can't...

Yeah, oftentimes people have different definitions for overheating. I'd honestly be surprised one could heatsoak/overheat a CTR on their first ever track event.

That's nice. I like this drawing-like livery they chose for the type S. This car is TCX class though, so it features a sequential transmission. It isn't using our fragile 4th gear hehe. Really nice find!!

What effect? I haven't read about it.

Hey man. Somehow I missed your journal. Thank you for the comparisons to the FK8. Do you still have the ITS ADS unit? I assume you didn't calibrate the ride height sensors after installing it, which makes the suspension feel artificially stiffer than designed. FK8 owners change to a LE ADS...

9.5'' and 255 (even some 265) fit fine even with stock offset and stock camber on non-widebody civics. I have seen this in a couple of SIs. The main reason for the CTR widebody is the wider track length our cars have.
