You. Someone who goes through so many cars.

Question is, how many laps before it overheats?

My bad. You’re the spilled gas in trunk.

I've had like 60 or 70 cars ? but I have no space for a race car at the moment sadly.

QQ: HPFP: Hondata or someone else? May need to ping jester see what he's been working on lately.

Yeah, I would definitely ask the tuners on failure rates.

I really don't see failures with Hondata, but I haven't really paid attention too much to those parts as they are not part of my build yet. Then there's also XDI and Full-Race.

The price of these pumps are crazy and that's me coming from VW Golf R/German tax where an upgraded HPFP is less than $400

I agree 2k is dumb. At least the full race has a lifetime warranty? Either way I hate it lol

Quick note on street driving 200TW track tires. It’s totally fine — any of them. That’s the point. Some are more street friendly than others, all will have some hydroplane resistance. It’s when tread depth gets low you need to be cautious about rain.

You will not heat cycle our your tires by street driving them. They are not getting hot enough. They don’t even get hot enough to remove the mold release.

A052 is a delight on the street. Maxxis VR2 also a delight. Continue ECF super pleasnat. Anything with a squishy sidewall will feel right at home. Don’t second guess it.

I just street drove my A052 and VR2 in 29* weather to the track and set PBs.

Oscar Jackson Jr (Jackson Racing) raced this car — he has certified excellent taste

The TC car doesn’t overheat. They actually often had to tape up vents to keep fluid are optimal operating temps — even on very hot days,

I believe this specific car also competed in the 25Hr of THill — thus the E0 designator.

This is the Honda HPD FK8 turn key race car that they offered. It is basically made to spec for SRO TC America and it is the TC car. I made a post about it and went down a rabbit whole. In short, this car is supposed to be a FBO CTR and is the closest thing to the road variant which is why I like it. They never made a FL5 version, HPD decided to use the Integra Type S and make it a TCX car not a TC, so it has more extensive modifications

This is the link to the brochure if you are curious

It has the same livery as the Honda LA World FK8 TC car so. The owner of Honda LA World has a race team and they compete in motorsports, pretty rad. They will sell their race cars when they are done with them. I remember seeing the same car for sale on the dealership website from LA World. Whoever owns this just removed the LA World decals for whatever reason.
