Interesting push at the bottom while asking for assistance. There's a few MSRP or close to MSRP dealers out there that are still taking names and many on those lists will not wait 2 years even though that's your time frame. You're looking for a guarantee and there's not many of those in life...

This makes no sense from a practicality point of view. Quit looking and possibly paying extra money (and transport) costs for one of the first allocations the dealers get. Find the MSRP dealers and throw your name into the hat - anything else? Forget it. Pop your head back into the ring once...

The GR Corolla comes with the PS4 tires and not the PS4s. Likely due to budget and the fact even on the less sticky rubber the car has issues with rotation (not having it) hence giving it stickier rubber likely will only find the car can't, even more so, on power rotate. The lighter weight and...

Kind of interesting just looking at numbers. Seems up through say 110mph the FL5 is the fastest accelerating [sans launch] but once you hit that range the Golf R is faster in both best gear and top gear by significant margins. Would need to make a gear chart to really see how those speeds match...

Play around with the pressures and ensure the stability control is in the minimum mode or disabled. You're not going to get any rotation with it on as you're sliding the rear tire due to slip angles and unload the weight off of it for less grip. The computer assist modes individually brake the...

One can fairly easily change the rear handling dynamics of the car by under or over inflating the rear tires after you've played around with the suspension stiffness and traction modes. Lower pressures tend to slide and let go more progressively while higher pressures give away more quickly...

I'd very much consider using keyed security screws (or at least using hex keyed screws and filling in with hot glue) if you're so inclined. As it appears it's just a few bolts that hold it on making it a pretty easy target.

Car really seems like a smaller hatch STi. Need to remember the STi with the subpar Subaru factory tuning and asymmetrical locked AWD has always been on the slower side of acceleration for the power and always liked to understeer at the limit stock. Subaru interiors have never been great either...

Because shaved tires have the benefit of lower block height but without the consequence of thousands of heat cycles to get there. As per the R comp or whatever supposed 'option' tire, entirely fine to test but make a completely different table for it. Take whatever the OEM is willing to supply...

Same deal as the others on R spec rubber. It was on the option Trofeo R tires which people have said the article notes a 9 second difference between the Trofeo R and the standard P zeroes. Makes the times much less interesting and much more impressive for the CT4V Blackwing and GR Supra being...

Really depends upon how stable you want it to be and passing tech. Appears people have had good results with just the larger gorilla pods using the harness pass through on the FK8. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/gopro-mount-to-the-type-r-seat.30699/page-2 Or you'll also find some who...

Do you need it to show your hand/head position? The mount you linked won't work with the Type-R seats as they need the extenders for the headrest to clamp onto. Why not just pick up a good dash cam and use that if it's only for track ahead, plus it can be used for daily driving recordings in...

The CTR record car has the entire rear gutted as well to 'offset the weight of the roll cage.' That's why to take any of these records with a big grain of salt. I believe the Trophy R was on proto forged wheels, custom final drive and tires unavailable to the public as well? The Megane Trophy R...

$10k price difference, DCT/Auto available (huge for vast majority of the population), heated more adjustable seats, parking sensors, a few more creature comforts they glaze over, better exhaust note, much longer warranty, oh and did they mention $10k price difference? For basically 90+% of what...

Since most of the cars of today are auto/DCT it's simply showing how quickly they react. Some of them react slower than a manual because of the computer comfort setting or just in general (new Z or others with a bit dated transmission computers). CarWow caters toward freeway/stoplight racers and...

Honestly it depends upon what's causing the bounciness. It APPEARS, in video, that it's the rebound damping is simply too high on the car with stock springs. The engineers tried to artificially increase the spring rate by adding way too much shock damping which is why it's okay on quick...

? Didn't know there was any confirmations of anything besides the engine getting more than a detuned CTR motor with 300+whp and FWD with LSD. Dual Axis Suspension, widened track/wheels/tires, etc is all unknowns. Even with the Civic Type-R, now that it's released, the designers said they had to...

Still has the issues with cleaning and longevity. Ultimately just comes down to preference really. For a daily driver that's going to be kept for more than 5+ years? Leather all the way. Babied car that isn't going to see many miles, toss up.

Not if it ever gets dirty or oil on it and it's not the easiest to clean. Leather you can just spritz with whatever cleaner you want and it'll regain its tackiness and generally I think better to grip w/ gloves for track days. I can see the appeal for Alcantara for those who keep their cars as...

I get you just paid a pretty hefty chunk of change for your car but a lot of this is simply stemming from the first cars that roll off the line. Depending on the type of noise and volume, much of this is simply solved with low friction tape. The seat itself is probably not built by Honda and is...
