I do rage-post occasionally, and satire and tongue-in-cheek all fit within those boundaries. That said, this wasn't even a rage-post, at least not at first. I'm still convinced you guys are dumb for thinking Hondata "sold out", and even dumber for being sad about it. It just doesn't reflect...

Blah blah blah, all of you need to stop crying and reading too much into my comments. I said what I said- a comment on a forum doesn't necessarily imply any "view on life". Just validates the root of what I was getting at- it's pretty pathetic to assume people give a shit about passion when...

I think you're missing the point. It's not the fact that I think a certain way, it's simply the fact I acknowledge simple facts when you apparently don't. Good luck thinking you can live off smiles and vibes. I sincerely hope you can figure it out.

This is such a naive statement. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Passion has no real place in business. At all. If you're one of the lucky few who does something for a living you're passionate about, congratulations. Otherwise, making money is literally the meaning of life. If you haven't figured that...

I'll chime in with more advocacy for autocross. I would not stack them one vs the other either. They are two separate types of events, they should be viewed as complementary. That said, it's easy to just lean more heavily towards one than the other. I actually did just that with autocross after...

Dammit, I think you just sold me a Cobb. It's funny and I don't want to derail the thread because this is the best one on the forum- but I just picked up an ND3 Miata as a side quest, and while it is amazing in its own right it actually made me appreciate my DE5 just a bit more. All I have is...

Contact Michelin. Probably just a faulty tire.

Yeah definitely curious what's going on here. ^Cold temps and at-the-limit driving would be a culprit but I'm leaning alignment as well. Not 100% clear from the pics but is this just one tire? That would at least point to a tire failure but if it's happening on more than one that's environmental.

Hey man those K swaps in Porsches are legit. Everyone knows about the IMS bearing issues, but not everyone talks about the VICTIMS. The K swaps are a perfect solution for folks whose M96/97 engines ate shit and they don't want to go source another Porsche engine when Honda engine do trick.

This thread makes me want a Type R.

It's important to get context like this on subjective topics because you don't know what side of the fence you'd fall on. Unfortunately though, you generally find out after you've bought and installed the thing. Unless you're fortunate enough to find a representative sample before that. BUT...

Note that over 90% of that response was from ChatGPT lol. But it is insightful and I don't disagree with any of it. Although now I vastly prefer Anthropic but that's neither here nor there. To your point, 19x9.5 +45 is a "tried and true" fitment option on this platform that does not change the...

A sway bar is not a bad thing, I was just suggesting that wheel offset alterations to the factory geometry is overblown. I think you'd like the sway bar but I would encourage you to get a better sense of how the car behaves at the "true limit" before making significant adjustments to the...

I do too but there's a point where it's just chatter. I think we're past that point here... but I'll just say that if you're referencing something from 1919 I think there has been a few notable changes since then.

I think you're trying too hard to match this "by-the-book definition" you have of what a "sports car" is supposed to be. I think that's nonsense, but I'll concede that my comment left it open to interpretation. If you want to put a label on it, call it a "driver's car" then, just be aware I do...

Seems like a lot of "feel mods". I'd argue absolutely none are "necessary"; but some folks would claim they're each beneficial in their own way. I think one rule with this platform you're not violating- don't lower the car if you don't want to enter the tail-chasing effort of "recovering" some...

I'll counter what some folks are saying about the power. No, it is absolutely not a drag car. But it has PLENTY of power for the street. I'd argue the Si does not. Perspective- I just bought an ND3 Miata. It's a blast to drive- but is intentionally slow for a sports car with 180 naturally...

Yeah... no matter what way you slice it you're losing thousands upon thousands of dollars. You literally would have been better off just paying the markup. But if owning the Si for 3 weeks has left you with the sense that it's worth it, then just look at it that way. Tons of folks spent more...

A quick update with my 275 Bridgestone RE-71RZ- after a couple months and 4 total autocross events, I can honestly say the tires no longer rub. Whatever minimal amount they were rubbing has been worn down- and I looked in the fender well and it was a matter of millimeters. There are no gashes or...

Yep. I would say if the car was not tracked at all then this is abnormal, but all it takes is one good track day to accelerate the wear on tires and brakes by an ungodly amount. My Michelins didn't make it ~8k miles. One half track day but a few dozen autocross runs. The rear brakes go very...
