  1. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    This is missing Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, VA and NCCAR in North Carolina. Summit Point in West Virginia (just over the VA/MD Border) has three distinct circuits (Summit Main, Shenandoah, and Jefferson). NJMP has two distinct circuits (Lightning and Thunderbolt) Nelson Ledges is also...
  2. Apex wheel feedback

    I wouldn't go this far "preferred wheel of choice for anyone who tracks or races ". It's a regular option, but not the unanimous preference. They are a fine wheel. China Forged, but focus on useful specs and respond to community requests -- like the B Street Legal +53 -- which is pretty neat...
  3. Misha Charoudin at the Ring in a stock FL5

    Proof cooling mods are useful :)...but doubtful it would have been after to do that without it, no?
  4. Misha Charoudin at the Ring in a stock FL5

    The Golf R/GTI hilariously overheats. The WRX overheats, it just doesn't tell you until it grenades. The GRC overheats the transfer case. The GR86/BRZ overheat. None of the hot hatches, sport coupes, etc., survive track abuse without some cooling mods. The FL5 overheating is entirely...
  5. Ohlins DFV Road & Track Settings Discussion

    Likely a custom set of Nitrons
  6. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Given by my PB is on 30 heat cycled SC3s...it's certainly possible in the short term :)...but they definitely won't keep pace with the rest.
  7. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Do it!! They still have some stock :) I really like the new RS339 too -- but I think I need some more low to pull that one off
  8. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    TWS RS317 — 18x9.5 +46 wrapped in Maxxis VR2 265/35/18
  9. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    New Time Attack Setup!! TWS RS317 in 18x9.5 +46 wrapped in Maxxis VR2 265/35/18. Stoked how these came out. VR2 rides pretty nice on the street, I’m impressed so far. Looking for my next PB, as soon as we get a pop up day! I’ll be testing the VR2 against the CRS V2 and A052 — all 265/35/18...
  10. Top 6 Coilovers for the FL5

    That’s not what I said. I said picking a good single sprint rate will let your suspension play nice on the street and track. You adjust compression and rebound for each scenario - high end dampers typically respond better to adjustments than lower end OTS dampers.
  11. Top 6 Coilovers for the FL5

    TBF MCS or Penske will be better on the street than anything else too. As long as you don’t overdo it on spring rate, high end dampers respond well to adjustments and will play nice in both environments.
  12. Top 6 Coilovers for the FL5

    Most coilovers have camber plates for the front struts which will help you dial in front camber without needing additional parts. Some kits do not come with them and require a secondary set of aftermarket plates.
  13. Ohlins DFV Road & Track Settings Discussion

    Ohlins is selling the same R&T setup with same spring rate for both FK8 and FL5. FK8 and FL5 stock suspension is different due to different spring rates, valving, and tuning...but the physical shock tower and mounting points are the same.
  14. Top 6 Coilovers for the FL5

    Have you tested all of these on the chassis? Compared in high performance conditions on track? Your post primarily just summarizes the product offering without any first hand input or data. You also missed the majority of the top performing dampers on the market in favor of generic OTS options...
  15. CIVICXI *NOVICE* Track Thread!

    One day I'll convince you to run CSG :)
  16. Radium Fuel Surge Tank?

    That's a Radium Fuel Pump Hanger..but maybe a Surge is coming. Would be nice, fuel starvation sucks
  17. Washington [SOLD] Garage Unique Lip - Gloss Black

    Wouldn't have been too bad -- I got a sweet hookup :)
  18. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Another TLDR is that OTS tunes are not designed for track use...and that there are "tuners" and "tooners". Finding a proper tuner who knows how to tune for track use and temps management over long periods of time is vital to your car's success and health. A tuner that tunes for dyno charts and a...
  19. Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

    I'd avoid fucking with VA State Police...you'll find yourself in jail pretty quick :). VA is definitely the worst state in the nation to speed in excess
