A porous hood is a loose, breathable fabric sack that is often made of mesh and placed over a person's head to prevent them from spitting or biting. They are commonly used by police, medics, and prison guards to cover the heads of people in custody. Many hoods have an elastic band to loosely secure around the neck and allow officers to see the suspect's face. Spit hoods are often used in combination with other restraints.


Not sure why someone would want that for a track day.

Perhaps you're talking about a vented or ducted hood?
Oh wow, nice one… clearly slang is over your head, oh wait, thats slang - Nm.

Finally got around to doing the fuse/exhaust valve thing. Definitely an improvement which is most noticeable at lower revs in car parks etc. Sounds decent to my ear.

Get a porous hood to swap on track day. I just don’t understand why its so overlooked.
It’s not that it’s overlooked. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to swap hoods. If I could, I might. I already had to sell the wife on the idea that my S2000 hood sitting in our tiny apartment is a piece of art. Not sure I get her to agree to another piece of art from Honda.

Flushed brake fluid with SRF and put some Paragon R5 pads in front and R3 int he back. Drove it around a bit and pedal feels nice, pads are super noisy lol, initial bite could be better but I think might just be because I was too used to my M2 comp BBK with ferodo 1.11. Modulation on the Paragons is nice. Also the Paragon folks are excellent to deal with, very impressed with their customer service. Also got their titanium shims.

Apex wheels go on it tomorrow, ready for first track day of the season on saturday, lets see what this thing can do.

Oh and yeah, having to work on a gravel drive way sucks ass, I am working on getting a garage ( although the blow up garage is actually pretty great for what it is)

Day four with my 2024 CTR and needed the weekend to have the time to clean out the garage so car would fit. Wasn’t expecting to buy the car last week but had to act quick and take advantage of an MSRP opportunity.

These things are failing right and left. This is Honda! ... if they can issue a recall because the badge on a vehicle was placed on the wrong side of the hatch, certainly they can issue a recall for a true mechanical failure such as the overflow tank!
The dealer ordered the part, it has arrive and will be changed this Friday. The CTR is not my daily so the small wait is not a big inconvenience.

Did the same, found the deal and had to act quickly, 8 hour round trip the next day. Even put a deposit down sight un seen. Didn’t even drive it until I did off the lot lol

That’s awesome. Fortunately for me the dealership was only and hour away. At least the 8 hour drive allowed you to break in the engine in one trip. What color? Mine is Championship White. What part of the country are you at?

Red shift boot to get rid of the fake leather one, and to match the seats / carpet.

What’s it made of ? Looks similar to Alcantara.
