They have a crash bar. It's just different - and made of steel.

Very well written. I have recently seen a number of Rs - fast Rs - being totalled. But this is a strange sport - it's really risky if you're pushing to the last second. I own and race a race car. Not even in a qualifying session I push the car 100%. A lot less during the race itself. No other...

Where did you install the sender? Honda's model estimates oil temp at the sump. A few people did this comparison for the fk8, me included. I have a p3 gauge and an aem sender at the drain bolt. I had to linearize the calibration curve, but it's supposed to be pretty accurate for the range...

Yes. That's why people connect their secondary radiators in series with that branch. Even that mishimoto one taps in that path. Tube diameters are a good indicator of expected flow rate for each branch. But tubes themselves aren't really a restriction compared to the heat exchanges on the same...

There's another branch that goes to the expansion tank before returning to the engine. In the FL5, this branch leaves from the radiator hot side endtank. It's another path that bypasses the cooling circuit. For more info...

Well unfortunately the PN for the warning triangle is missing in Honda's system. It's the only item back there not listed anywhere.

Yeah. I'll need to ask the Honda parts guy for that info.

On the same topic, just the other day I received a picture of a GRC in a dealership. Toyota really wasn't prepared for our regulations hahaha:

You can find them here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/fl5-spare-tire.51603/post-880840 They are quite expensive, though.

That sounds scary. That helplessness feeling is just too awful. I hope you have a speedy and full recovery. If you want to take a deeper look at it someday, I can help you decode the LogR logs of that session. But for now, just focus on your physical and mental health.

That was hard to watch. I'm glad you are ok, Ben. You know I have been following your journey since the FK8 days. You are not the first and won't be the last to crash a car on a track. I've been there. Please go check yourself with a doctor. Not just once, but after a week or two again. I hope...

I have an FK8 and I also looked for a 4 point harness to help secure me in place on track. So I purchased a Schroth profi II ASM 4 point harness and a harness bar for my car. I also own (and race) a race car so I do know how it feels to be securely strapped to a racing bucket seat with a 6 point...

This warning uses a calculated brake temp. It's certainly wrong once you change pads and/or fluid. Not really. There is a fuel level meter inside the tank. Since it's too sensitive to lateral acceleration, it's heavily filtered out while cornering. Once you stop and give it a minute or two...

Congrats!!! Hey I'd love to read your observations of the car once you have more seat time.

Sorry, I saw this message just this Friday. I wasn't checking on this thread. So I asked the local parts guy and he said there was not a kit. Since all parts come with the car, you can only purchase a replacement for each of them individually. It's crazy expensive, unfortunately. 5 -...

Wait, I found many pictures of the turbo/exhaust manifold online, like this aftermarket one: https://www.ichiban.engineering/product-page/gr-yaris-gr-corolla-g16e-gts-g25-turbo-manifold This means it's not a headifold. Yeah, absolutely.

Yup. That's the benefit of a traditional exhaust manifold instead of a headifold design.

It's just the mishimoto secondary radiator mounted in a different location. Here you can see his setup with the small aux radiator behind the engine: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/grimace-build-thread-lap-time-modification-tracking.43196/post-1211635 My friend is using a VW Tiguan OEM...

Thanks for this drawing. This knuckle design is just crazy. I took a few pics of these cars last month: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/fk8-and-fl5-tcr.85629/

The CTR TCR car doesn't have the dual axis strut design. It's a standard MacPherson strut.
