  1. Track Day Fuel Solutions

    I have a 5 gallon jug that I bought at the gas station. Im pretty sure all fuel cans leak even the VP ones. I would highly suggest bringing extra rags, mine only leaks while I pour the 1st gallon Do you have a good estimate of how much fuel your burn during your sessions? I know that for me at...
  2. Akrapovic FL5 Exhaust

    Cant you just contact Akrapovic and ask what the estimated price and if it will be in production?
  3. Civic Type R refresh / facelift confirmed for 2026

    Most likely becuase its from Honda JP and there is no communication with Honda JP and NA. Wouldn't be surprised if that people who work for Honda NA corporate are just as surprised as we are because they received this information last minute.
  4. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    All of the aftermarket exhausts don't sound good imo, its just the engine, could be because of the 3 tipped exhaust. Even the TCR and TC Race cars dont sound that good. You just gotta accept it. I think getting a downpipe with the stock exhaust or a resonator would be a better setup, the car...
  5. Low Speed Wheel Squeaking Noise

    I started moticing this as well whenever I changed my brakes to CSG pads. I also had installed Hankook RS4s too but this noise still is there ecen when I use the stock wheels and tires. Ive driven the card pretty hard on the track (so hard that I melted the paint on my rear calipers) and had no...
  6. 🔴💊 Engine Oil Red Pill Thread: Only Post If You Have UOA - Official Honda Civic Type R K20C1 Engine Oil Analysis

    My VOA for ESP 0W30. The cSt and SUS values and even averages are higher indicating a thicker oil than the 5W30 despite it being a 'thinner' 0W oil. I dont have any UOA data on the ESP 5W30 but I wouldn't be suprised if the ESP 0W30 has more sheer stability the 5W30. Im attaching both VOAs...
  7. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Not just tariffs but the Yen is highly inflated and doesn't have a good forecast because its only going to go up based off from current projections.
  8. 🔴💊 Engine Oil Red Pill Thread: Only Post If You Have UOA - Official Honda Civic Type R K20C1 Engine Oil Analysis

    Depends on specific blend of the oil. You can have 0W40 oil thats has more to sheer stability capabilities, and other that doesn't. Same with other grades like 5W30. I really dont think its accurate to make blanket statements like that. There isn't a need to generalize a whole oil grade where...
  9. 🔴💊 Engine Oil Red Pill Thread: Only Post If You Have UOA - Official Honda Civic Type R K20C1 Engine Oil Analysis

    Motor Geek made a similar video and for the Mobile 1 0W40 formulatioms and only the ESP and C40 GT (Formulation for Porsche GT Cars) had very good resistance to sheering so I'm not sure what the difference is from Lake. The Euro FS had sheered alot.
  10. 🔴💊 Engine Oil Red Pill Thread: Only Post If You Have UOA - Official Honda Civic Type R K20C1 Engine Oil Analysis

    I recently did a VOA for Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 I also did M1 ESP 0W30 because that should have a higher cSt rating. I plan to go to M1 0W40 on my next oil change because it will have a higher viscosity rating and strong resistance to sheering.

    Saying that 5W20 is the most stable isnt really relevant here since we are talking about individual oils here. You can easily find a 5W30 oil or above that resists sheering and the engine will be properly lubricated when it sheers down. You dont have the extra wiggle room with a 5W20. If you...
  12. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Also in general the used car market is softening. Tons of cars are sitting on lots, most of the people spending high money on cars are only buying new, not used.
  13. Catastrophic oil leak - I am freaking out

    Could have been but I don't understand why it got in the engine bay. I know that I've had pil changes done before (not with ths car) and the drain plug I couldn't even use a ratchet because it was so loose
