besides "driver mod", there are a few "nice to have mods" for track prepping the car regardless of driver skill. go to an alignment shop that specializes in aligning track cars. pull the front suspension pins and max out the front negative camber. a good baseline alignment is something like...

are you brand new to HPDE? if you are, just replace the brake fluid with some high temp DOT 4. all your time/money should be focused on yourself and how to understand, read, and control the car. this means getting driving coaches and seat time.

can you pull the belt all the way and activate the belt locking mechanism? if not, you can just jerk the belt so it activates the belt locking mechanism and then roll the seat forward. it doesn't look like schroth makes a harness for hondas. SAFETY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY » Schroth QuickFit Pro...

Im saying car knocks on 91 factory tune, yes. I’m not implying there’s long term negative effects if you’re using 91. Honda recommends at least 91 and some knock is acceptable. I bet you could run 87 because Honda knows people will do it. The ECU will quickly detect the knock and aggressively...

How can you validate it’s not knocking on 91? Did you run the Hondata factory map and log knock and timing? I’m aware of how the Bosch ECU works. I have experience tuning my own FK8. Never said factory tune doesn’t work with ethanol. I was implying that the Bosch ECU more than likely is using...

Not entirely true. I'm unable to find a 91 vs 93 factory tune FK8 dyno, but pretty certain there's a small amount of knock on 91. Knock means timing retard, which means less power. It's also why European spec FK8 is rated higher HP than US FK8. Both ECUs run the same factory map but US is rated...

Not too sure why this bugs people so much. He works more than most people who old 9-5 jobs as an independent content creator. Most YouTubers fail. He helps create buzz for this car so it’s a mutual benefit. He didn’t get special access for free. It’s people who believe everything should be...

I think you got it backwards. Higher elevation means less oxygen. Still not sure how you concluded correlates with octane.

jet skis, lawn mowers, etc. it’s for motors that don’t use up the gas. Ethanol absorbs moisture. Bad for gas. Not an issue for cars since it gets used before it goes bad.

92 with ethanol isn't the same as 92 without ethanol. More ethanol means more knock resistance given the same octane number.

It’s been proven the engine knocks on 91 octane. Adding ethanol reduces this. The knock is probably not enough to cause long term damage but it’s still engine knock.

Let's clear a few misconceptions. Ethanol is great for cars. Even the owners manual approves of using ethanol gas. Up to 15% I believe. Ethanol increases knock resistance. This is a good thing. No knock means more power. Go to a busy gas station. The idea is less chance of getting stale gas...

https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/track-tire-buyers-guide/ Stick to 4s if the tires will see public roads. RE71RS if you’re ready to take driver talent out of the equation.

highly doubt they need to disclose every single damage. there's probably a repair cost threshold before they need to legally disclose. that's assuming the dealer decides to repair it, many are overlooked. for example, many sedans will get their the front underbody scratched and that won't get...

unless there's a law that says they have to report it, they're not going to. you may want to research your state's laws on reporting repairs to the buyer. next time you plan to get PPF done, tell the dealer to not wash or remove the stickers on the car. that should tell you if something was...

From a cost perspective, it makes complete sense to just use the same exact powertrain from the CTR. Suspension and engine tuning costs are minimal, but wouldn’t be surprised if the Type S received the exact engine tune as the CTR. A different tune will probably introduce additional costs and...

didn't know nitrogen was more valuable than gold!

The less gaudy look compared to the FK8 is already an upgrade. I’m not paying 50k for a transformer.

I think the Corolla will need to grow larger if it wants to compete with the Civic. Agreed. Even though most would prefer the practicality of a Corolla, the GR Yaris is the better variation due to its size and weight advantage. I think the hardcore enthusiast would still choose the Yaris over...
