ha...I do my own wheels. Forged. I have an OEM company I work with that does a fantastic job....
I can make ANYTHING: color, size....all custom. It's pretty cool and someone that I've built maybe a dozen sets with. All race proven (track use) and super light! :) nuff said, don't want to...
Sooo! Just picked up the CTR and looking to upgrade the wheels/tires soon. However it'll take me weeks of messing around with a few programs I use to dial it in. So this is a "thought process" thread. Just like the one I did for the TLX Type S a few years back when making those wheels! :)...
Spacers are never a good thing. So I built my wheels to not need them. These are 52 offset stock. I made them 43. But 10” wide and 285 rubber. Perfection!!
I love coil overs, but not a fan of the complex amount of adjustments. I like plug-in play sometimes. So if I can get something, that’s good, upgrades performance, and doesn’t ride terrible I’m all for it. I threw a set of TEIN springs on the TLX, Type S and it was pretty amazing on the track.
Hey all! So I'll start this and update it as I go. It'll be a slower go than usual: Deal I made with the wife about modding the thing! LOL....SLOWLY....hahahahaha...whatev's
Anyway, trying to be unique will be interesting here. It's a much more moddable car, where the TLX Type S I have/had...
Hey all! So not familiar with the FL5, yet, and wondered what the best, most streetable, but trackable (maybe) lowering spring out there is? Something no more than 1" drop is ideal.
Thanks!!
Hey!!
Soo....I just turned 60 in Sept, and feel like 25...ish...I've owned and raced Honda/Acura for decades...since my first Honda: 1991 Civic Si hatch. It all started with that car just as the import scene was taking hold here. It went through 3 engines:
1. All motor stock engine, 1.6l...
Yeah, I know, I built cars. But thanks for the heads up. I have titanium rings that are conical ball seat. It’s a pain in the butt, but it works. And I have new wheels being made now so…
I’ve only driven it once in the frosty cold Cleveland climate. So I can’t really get a feel for it because...
Already starting the 'mods' lol....Raceang titanium lugnuts got swapped over and 5mm spacers. A set of 275/35-19 vredestein rubber (for 'winter') are on the way and a acuity oil filler cap! hey, it's a start!
Hey all! So I’ve been the innovator over the past three years when it comes to the TLX Type S. I’ve developed parts for that car with several companies and took it to the Xtreme. I track the car and shaved about 400 pounds off of it. It’s a Big, long, sort of heavy, beast!
but, with some...
