I have a half used set of Toyo R888R 265/30-19 track tires that I would love to unload as they are taking up too much room in my trailer. They are $200 for the whole set of four tires. They are very noisy, and not the fastest tires, but they are consistent, and should help you to shave a...

I can only speak from my experience with my car, a 2025 with 7K miles and no drivetrain mods, but cooling is definitely a problem on track, even in mid-60 degrees weather. I am seeing coolant temps in the mid-220s and oil temps (I have read that this is calculated, not measured) of 275. I...

Redragn, For the last session, I ended up at 25 front and 31 rear cooled off for an hour and a half after the previous session, but not stone cold. I forgot to check them hot after I dropped them down to those pressures, but I started the first session at 28 stone cold front and 32 rear, and...

It was great meeting Jason Lewis (WOT), and he kindly spent a lot of time helping me understand the car and its behavior on track. Among the great advice that he gave me, he suggested dropping my air pressures way down and that seemed to help the car feel more balanced and easier to rotate on...

You were right about 3rd gear for the Corkscrew Iforgettopee. I tried it and it felt fine. I was still doing the extra 3-4-3 shifts approaching turn 10 to avoid the rev limiter, but I think that next time I'm going to try holding 4th through 10, even though I think that it's going to feel...

I try to eliminate any unnecessary gear changes, but the 3-4 and 4-3 shifts are very low risk, and I hate the feeling of the rev limiter kicking in. I think that it costs a significant amount of lap time when it happens, so I'm still going to go up to fourth approaching 10 and 11. I think...

I'm going to try the Corkscrew in 3rd, but I hit the rev limiter if I don't hit 4th coming down the hill before 10 and again just before braking for 11.

Thanks for all of the good information! I understand that higher viscosity oil won't help with the temperature, but it sounds like it should deliver higher pressure and that higher pressure should provide better protection. Is that correct? I am heading to Laguna Seca on Saturday and will...

Thats good to know. Hopefully it's wrong on the high side. I'm not 100% sure about the water temperature, but I think that it was up to 235. Is that bad?

I'm hoping to get some advice on oil for time trials/track days. I am having a problem with high oil temperatures (275) on mild weather days (70), particularly at Laguna Seca, in my 2025 FL5 running a totally stock drivetrain with stock 0/20W oil. I installed the WOT plate and removed the...

Is anyone else running the NASA 3/21-22 Willow Springs weekend?

My car is stock except for Castrol SRF, Counterspace C1XB/C1X pads, Nankang CRS tires, Honda OEM forged wheels, and pulled pins, and I'm running 1:44s. I just bought some adjustable front ball joints that should give -3 camber and I'm thinking that will stop the front tires from rolling over...

I wasn't planning on it, but I will see if I can make it work!

That looks great! Are you running the Lightspeed event on 12/6?

Thank you Rexpelagi

Thank you Iforgettoopee. I will check them out. I saw the camber plates on the Honda website but they want $900 plus for the set of two!

Did Sears Point this weekend (I'm slow but at least I'm consistent some times) after replacing the R888Rs with Nankang CRS and had the same problem with the front tires rolling over in the tighter corners. I'm ready to bite the bullet and add some front negative camber. I would appreciate any...

Thank you Svvitch.
