I actually moved to a 2004 Mini Hatch (non-S) - there's a specific class for Gridlife for cars in this power-to-weight range that is pretty competitive so that's what I'm running this year (it will definitely be cheaper than an ND/Twin, but obviously also massively slower).
I think the ND and...
I ran 285/30R18 square on 18x11 ET44 stock w/pins pulled, with lowering springs/camber plates, and on coilovers (I only ran ~-2.75° front camber also). I had no issues with rubbing on either stock shock configuration, and on coilovers the only potential issue is slight interference with the...
I think your list should be good - for rotors I've never swapped out a set of rotors on a car I track due to wear from a thickness perspective (although there should be an official minimum thickness stamped somewhere on the rotors, and I've seen the thickness posted here before) - I always...
I think in this price point the Civic is pretty impressive. I think if you plan to track it a few times a year 200k may take some extra maintenance, but it is a Honda.
For casual track use consumables aren't bad, but if you do try to run competitively as you add power (375whp+) it can start to...
In case anyone else was curious PRL confirmed that the picture on their website is a generic kit - the FL5 and FK8 use the identical kit/bracketry so it works for both, if anyone is interested with an FK8.
Nice lap! FWIW, not to take away anything from your lap because that's absolutely a great time for stock power, but the whole GL event this year was heavily compromised with horribly managed sessions and weather (ie, during the first session for most of the fast Street/ClubTR field they left 3...
For now it can't read an ethanol sensor directly - you can only use a sensor to manually monitor ethanol content. This really isn't a huge issue as I drove to events on blended fuel for months, but it does take slightly more planning. Cobb seems to be pretty active in supporting the platform...
Catless would be a potential problem (if you care about a CEL) but flex is not - while the tune can't (yet) adjust for ethanol content, you can certainly be tuned for a specific ethanol content. @JST Performance tuned my car for e30 on stock injectors and later on e40 on XDI HPFP + 1400cc...
