*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

My opinion on the Airtec because it's in a location that is likely to result in a catastrophic failure in the event of an off-track excursion. It sits below the body line. Even the G8X BMWs which run a floor flush-mounted oil cooler run into failures in that location.

The HEL is just first to market -- it's not hyper sophisticated -- but I also haven't seen a ton of data that says it doesn't work.

I'm waiting on PWR to wrap up their solution, as it was tested in conjunction with their entire cooling suite.

So you guys are saying airtec and hels oil coolers aren’t the greatest options. But I haven’t seen anything on the MDR oil cooler.

What are your thoughts on the MDR?

Too many pictures on the phone. But found them.

Plug in a code reader, from my understanding it should show the over rev code (p0219) if it was a big enough over rev.

@MooMoo I created a new thread about a similar situation.

Do you know if my Hondata flash pro would be able to detect the code?

If it can detect it, I’m assuming you can’t clear it with the Hondata flash pro either?

not sure if hondata can see the code.
Don’t think code can be cleared, gets permanently stored in ecu

Hondata flash pro can detect and clear the code. You can use the phone app to do the same.

I'm reading conflicting statements on the ability to clear the code.

Only reason I ask is because I'm a bit OCD thinking maybe I accidentally hit "Clear DTCs" while fumbling through my Hondata desktop application. It isn't the most intuitive piece of software haha.

Anyone know if you're prompted with "are you sure?" or some kind of confirmation screen when you do attempt clear DTCs?

Either way, taking it to the shop and hopefully they can also read historical codes.

I had a code prior and was able to clear it with my flash pro.

Do you remember if it asked you to confirm with something like "are you sure?" or a "warning this will clear all codes, make sure you fixed everything first".

I don’t remember but guess there is. Clearing doesn’t fix the issue so if the issue is unfixed, the code will appear again.

It sounds like my shocks are stateside now, which is good because CMP is only a month away .

For those that have installed coilovers, is there any particular brand of shock sensor disablers that is preferred (ie, the cheaper the better if it actually works)? Also, if you don't install them is it just a light on in the background, or are there constant warnings / beeps / etc?

I try out slicks for the first time, talk about the ADRO wing, set a new personal best (in the black car), and show the FWD line at VIR!

 

[Rhorn]

Haven't watched the whole video yet but I've heard about how racing slicks can affect a car. Did you notice any drop in oil pressure?

Wild weekend at MSR Houston last week. I managed to capture some gnarly footage of track debris ending my weekend early at MSRH. Right after the outlap of a session, my windshield shattered from debris kicked up on the track. I consider myself lucky it didn't pierce the windshield or slam into my front bumper.

Despite ending early, I was able to run 2 laps without traffic:

First time I've seen that happen. Glad all is safe and only the windscreen
