  1. Big willow track days and temp issues

    The Spoon bumper is actually pretty different than what the stock FL5 has, in the pictures it seems like they removed the crash bar I think. Wow this shot looks eerily similar to what @siwelnosaj has which is actually great. I wonder why they have the duct going straight to the brakes like...
  2. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Looks great Whats the purpose of doing this?
  3. Accidentally put half a tank of 87 octane in my Type R. Anything to worry about?

    You'll be fine. When I got my car the dealership filled it up with 87 also.
  4. Big willow track days and temp issues

    So how do you increase airflow? Guessing vents and ducting to channel it in? Or you could also just add more radiators to increase the capacity.
  5. Big willow track days and temp issues

    Yeah I use Amsoil in my GT350 and it regularly sees temps of 250F-275F from just street driving. Synthetic oils start to break down in the 400F/450F range so you don't have to worry about that. As long as your arent seeing oil temps in the mid to high 300F range then your oil is fine

    Recently became a member for Amsoil and got a newsletter. They have some high zinc oil https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-z-rod-10w-30-100-synthetic-motor-oil-zrt/
  7. Any aftermarket bumpers with more airflow?

    I think its more complex than that. Increasing the capacity wont really stop heat soak, it just means that it'll happen at a later time and because you have more capacity the heat soak will be worse because now you have a bunch fluid thats hot without the ability to reduce the temperature...
  8. Upgraded turbo to lower temps on track? Versus make more power.

    Not a track rat but I don't think changing your turbo alone would cause you to see a noticeable difference by itself. Having an oil cooler and 2 radiators would give you a significant amount of cooling that you'd need to see the lower temps. There's a few companies that are working an oil...
  9. Vacuum brake bleeder

    Hmm, yeah I never used a flare nut, I bought the ones with the check valve and it worked really good. I used the 2 person method because my vacuum bleeder broke. I haven't used the typical flare nut, only the check valve wrenches. Really hard to say which one is better, since basically they are...
  10. Brake fluid change question

    I just flushed mine the other day. What method are you going to be using? If using a pressure bleeder like the motive bleeder it will be easier to tell by using the dry method to bleed your brakes. If you suction out the all of the brake fluid from the master cylinder and pour in the new...
  11. Vacuum brake bleeder

    Late reply but I just used these the other day, I got them in a kit and they worked perfectly.
  12. Vacuum brake bleeder

    Are you talking about gravity bleeding? Yeah and I agree, it was my first time doing and I freaked out. I was stressing out trying to get different parts and a work around. After getting fed up I had a friend come help me and do the 2 person method and it worked fine. Pretty sure I use way...
  13. Vacuum brake bleeder

    Update : Just started flushing my brakes with speedi bleed for the first time and literally my bottle cap is broken. This sucks because I just sucked out my fluid and my car is basically undriverable until I finish this. Going to have to run to an auto store and buy whatever vacuum bleeder I...
  14. Tegiwa intake comparison/test

    Which one of these makes the loudest turbo noise?
  15. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Wow thats really nice. The pictures help but without much context it'll be pretty hard for me to decipher what's going on. I definitely would need a guide or a set of instructions lol. That's a really clean setup though and seems like it requires no drilling
  16. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Did use a any videos as a reference? I did a quick search online and really didn't find any DIY guides
  17. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Is it pretty easy to install that?
  18. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Wait whats R1 and R2?
  19. FL5 Overheated on Track

    Does the oil temp gauge take in account the oil weight as well? Like if you have a thinner oil like 0W-20 vs a thicker one like 5W-30 does LogR account for that?
  20. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    How much brake fluid should I buy when doing a brake flush? I plan on getting the Castrol SRF brake fluid, but really have no idea how much I'd need since this is my first time doing this
