The wording makes it pretty clear they aren’t going to move the FL5 until 2028. They are protecting the Twins in DS, or something. They should have moved it last year and didn’t. Whatever interests that were in play in the decision to keep the FL5 in BS are still in play now.
The +R and long press disables VSA/traction control, but it does not disable brake vectoring (Agile Handling Assist in Honda marketing speak). So, yeah, you are still killing rear brakes. Any kind of extended track use, you've got to do the pedal dance or you are going to obliterate the rears...
I just replaced rear pads and rotors at 23k miles. Plus or minus 20k miles seems like the going rate for rear pads on the CTR if you are driving the car. Maybe you could squeeze out some more life by just putting around. Mine is a daily driver plus 7-10 autocross events per year.
The difference...
This or Michelin PSAS4 are the chalky answers. Searching for deals on Tire Rack is fun, though. After rebates, the DW06+ is $600 for a set of four on Tire Rack right now. Hard to beat that for a quality tire.
December Fastrack is out. GS and HS got reshuffled. Most notably, Elantra N is now a GS car, so RIP to Civic Si guys. It doesn't look like Civic moved to HS (only Civic Hybrid did). FL5 and GRC to DS still only got "Thank you for your feedback." Piss or get off the pot. Why delay announcing a...
Not that you'll be daily driving a 200tw, but Tire Rack does have two-year road hazard included and Discount Tire charges separately for that. If it matters to you. Bridgestone is also releasing a replacement for the RE71RS that is supposed to be out in early 2026, though that would not be early...
Follow their social. It seemed like they were having some trouble getting enough preregistrations to justify a few events in the later summer/fall. Not sure what plans for 2025 are. You can mail your ECU for jailbreak. Phearable, IMW/TSP do it. The jailbreak events are convenient but also decent...
Just ran the numbers. I’m not crazy. Power to weight and lbs/ft lbs is basically dead on with a Gen 6 Camaro SS. I was not expecting it to feel like that, and I’ve driven tuned cars before.
I flashed to Phearable Stage 2 and drove on it for the first time today. Holy hell. It transformed the car. Magnitudes beyond the Hondata base tune. Car is completely stock otherwise in terms of power mods. I ran the 1.5R tune on my Si, but it didn’t make this much of a difference. The closest...
