I was looking at them on the Redline website when I saw your post - I ran a set of these on my old '03 Evo 8 and loved them. Actually, ended up removing one of them as I found one was sufficient to slowly raise the hood; two of them and the hood popped up a bit abruptly, plus... weight savings...
Yeah, if someone had the patience, skill set, and resources to do a test, it'd be awesome. The scientific method would be for a series of catch cans be installed on the same test mule and then do a repeatable test cycle on each, recording the results. If you're collecting something in yours...
It'd be nice if a few more manufacturers caught up to the 11th gen CTR and listed it and their compatible parts. I'd think from a business standpoint they'd want to expand their audience.
The tough thing with catch cans is that all designs aren't equal. I had 4 different catch cans on my Evo 8, and they ranged from being bone dry to needing emptying on a regular basis. It's all based on how well they are designed and baffled to capture oil vapor. My first can, a Perrin...
People either love or hate their Carbotechs. I was a PFC fan when a set of pads completely cleaned my rotors after a Watkins Glen / Hawk pad meltdown and shimmy issue. Finally switched over to Ferodo as they were cheaper and have been using them exclusively for years. That Carbotech part...
I've been looking at track pad options for the FL5 for the upcoming '24 track season. Haven't been able to find applications from any of the trust pad manufacturers I'm used to running previously on my Evo 8 or M2 Competition when searching specifically on '2023 Honda Civic Type R' in their...
I had a Borla for a short time on my Evo 8. It was raspy as hell with an annoying highway drone after I had HKS cams installed. Got a ticket on the way home from the cam install; NYS trooper said he knew I was loud when he could hear me over the tractor-trailer I was following up a hill...
One of the biggest problems I had early in my HPDE career was getting RWD/NA car-driving instructors sitting right seat in my AWD/Turbo Evo and criticizing me repeatedly for abruptness of throttle. No doubt this was a factor due to my running in a BMW car club series where RWD/NA was ubiquitous...
So I tried to talk this group buy up, but someone pointed out the regular price from Dream Automotive is substantially lower ($647). Even factoring in the $88 shipping charge, it'd be substantially cheaper from Dream Auto unless we can get it to at least 15 buyers. Are you willing to change...
I've been doing track days since 2006, and have been an instructor since 2012 with BMW CCA, mostly northeast tracks (Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Palmer, NJMP, Calabogie, and even a stint at Road Atlanta). Built my '03 Evo 8 from a daily to a fully caged, barely street legal track car. Sold it in...

Have you tried using a softer setting in any of your track outings? Seems like C&D felt the stiffest setting is perhaps a bit too stiff.
