In my experience, external seams feel good on your hand but are less durable. The exposed edges of the fabric start to fray earlier whereas internal seams protect the edges. I have a pair of AlpineStars gloves with internal seams and I love them. They fit me really well.

Willow Springs is indeed your home track!

Awesome! But if there's a significant difference then we should consider that could be the different viscosity at play until you test it again with other weights to see how the difference varies.

Computed temps doesn't mean it's an estimate. Even a sensor needs to have a computed temperature if you think about it. A sensor uses a temperature-dependent physical property, and that property is measured and translated into a temperature. For example, you can use a thermistor, which changes...

I don’t think you can discount the effect of tube diameter. Tube diameter is really significant given it’s not like the engine has that powerful of a water pump. Given that all the flow comes from the one pump, the pipe diameter will be sized to put the desired proportion of flow to the right...

That’s very interesting! The heater core usually has a valve so coolant doesn’t flow when there’s no hot air required, so that specific loop seems fine to me. I’ll be interested in seeing the result if you can remodel your cooling system—but I have doubts will make a huge difference. My guess...

Sorry, not all of us are familiar with the internal passages of the thermostat housing. Can you explain the four parallel loops? I can see the heater core (although that takes in hot coolant so that probably doesn’t count), the engine block and head, oil cooler, and mtf cooler. Not sure if I’m...

The service manual says to do it in clockwise order. FD, FP, RP, RD.

Here is the FK8 service manual page for brake bleeding. The procedure should be identical as the FL5.

I had the standard PS4S on my FK8 and I was happy at how supple and quiet the ride was. However the turn-in response was slower and more rubbery than the Continental SportContact 6. The FL5 OEM PS4S in comparison rides rougher than the ones on my FK8 but they're also sharper turning. You would...

Damn, I could have sworn I saw some cross reference that they were equivalent but I went and looked at the box and it says Pad Material: Ferodo 4495 on the box. Maybe I was hallucinating. I did some googling but I don’t know what that’s equivalent to.

It doesn't exactly "learn" from your habits. What's happening is the damper behaviors are software-defined, updated many times per second. There are accelerometers monitoring G-forces, position sensors that know what the wheels are doing, steering wheel input, and all that goes into an tunable...

Nono, sorry for the confusion. I went in willing to pay $1000 over, and eventually we settled on $1200 over.

Yes I agree with this. You (OP) have to be ready to commit to buy "now." So pre-decide on what you can commit to, whether it's MSRP only or +2000 or whatever, and then you can tell them, "I'm willing to pay MSRP + xxxx. If you do that, I'm willing to buy right now." That's pretty powerful and...

It's because we have a pretty big crowd who are into cars want to buy the Type R. Can't fault us for that. It's basic supply and demand, unfortunately. :( HOWEVER, there are good deals to be had. Don't give up! When I was hit with a bunch of BS accessories, I basically looked at the paper with...

Rare good news update in the case of GM: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/03/gm-stops-sharing-driver-data-with-brokers-amid-backlash/

I would suggest that even stainless lines are not needed. I've owned multiple cars with and without such lines and there's not enough difference to matter. Certainly not one that matters to a beginner. As Point By says, stock pads are totally fine as they are decent Ferodo DS2500 pads from the...

Sorry I meant to ask what club did you run with?
