I'm passing on Laguna Seca. It's a 4+ hour drive, full weekend and requires a hotel, which is already a high bar, but their handling of the Skyline incident was the dealbreaker. I don't want to support a track that won't own up to its mistakes. Post some pics and vids if you go. Iām planning to...
eventually itāll probably happen anyway, especially since i probably wonāt be driving this car around as much now because my wife is already complaining about how bumpy it is.
chewerks and the jsr plaza entrance have some pretty crazy bumps. i know chewerks moved, so maybe the new spot is better now, but still.
iām sure a lot of people can angle their car just right and avoid scraping, but i already scrape with only an inch drop and no front splitter. i do my best to...
im thinking about getting the Racebreed front splitter (blackfriday sale), but I donāt know if itāll survive my track days or my steep driveway š . Socal roads are sketchy sometimes, random debris, dips, and I could easily crack it going somewhere Iām not familiar with. A lot of tuner shops have...
I replaced my 2 yr old OEM battery because it started causing errors.
Although, I could still drive the car after charging it but with christmas light dashboard error. swapped it out for a Duralast Platinum H5-EFB battery for peace of mind.
Iāve spent a total of $450 across two Honda dealerships. The first one couldn't figure out the issue but still charged me $225. I then took it to a second dealer who charged another $225 and finally fixed it.
Checked with the Honda dealership and they confirmed this is normal behavior on newer Hondas. If the battery dies, the car typically needs to be brought in. Itās all fixed now. posting the video here in case it helps anyone else.
I had a cheap Amazon charger that I didn't realize stopped charging once the battery was full. I've since bought a new charger that no longer has that issue.
A JSR tune is just a Hondata calibration file. It does not control:
ADAS modules
Cameras
BCM
EPS / VSA
Radar cruise
CAN gateway logic
My issue is dash errors after battery death, the tune is probably not the root cause.
Correct my if my logic is wrong?
I donāt think itās the battery since I was able to recharge it and drive the car fine when I got back. I swapped in a new battery just for peace of mind. Honda didnāt say it was the battery either. They confirmed something is draining it fast, and it looks like the 360 camera, so I unplugged...
Iāve driven the car well over 100 miles total and also disconnected and reconnected the battery multiple times because the errors kept showing up. When I said I drove it more than 100 miles, I meant I drove about 70 miles, turned the car off, then drove another 70 miles, turned it off again, and...
Before this issue started, the car had zero problems.
In late December, before leaving for vacation, I connected my Type R to a battery charger so the battery wouldnāt die. The car has two known battery drains:
⢠oil temp gauge (always on)
⢠360° camera system
When I got back later in...
I canāt really speak for autocross, but from my experience attending a few events, it definitely feels safer in the open lot and lower speeds. On my tracks, Iām seeing speeds anywhere from 110 mph up to 149 mph, with some corners taken at around 125 mph.
Iāve tried running higher psi, like 35...
Iām currently running 25 psi cold and about 30 psi hot. Iāve also tested 30 psi cold and 35 psi hot, but I feel that setup didnāt give me enough grip. I can probably go lower than 30psi hot but it eats the inner tires more/faster.
Iād pick WOT, but that alone wonāt solve the cooling issues (depending on the weather temp). Youāll still need dual engine oil coolers and proper airflow. The HEL setup isnāt enough, I tried that one first, and it couldnāt keep temps under control.
