  1. Honda Log R timing issues…

    Make sure you turn off automatic crash detection when on track. If an ambulance shows up because your phone dialed 911 because it thought you got in a car crash, it will cost you thousands of dollars and the track/event operators will be pissed.
  2. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    Motul RBF 700. Before that Project Mu G-Four It's not pressure it's temperature. And you will boil the fluid on corner X, but not know about it until you get to corner X+1. There is no one answer. Different drivers will want different settings based on lost of things. Tires, ambient...
  3. Honda Log R timing issues…

    Remember, the times are 'good' but they are not very 'precise'. Most smart phones update GPS at 1Hz with an accuracy of 2 meters. 2 meters is not much of an issue, but 1 Hz is. That's one update pers second (so as much as a 2 second lap error). At 100mph, that's 146 feet between measurements...
  4. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    Upgrade your fluid BEFORE you boil it. Once you boil it you will find out by not being able to brake. You will be lucky if that means you do not end up in a wall or another car.
  5. Track Safety Clothing / Gear

    The only way to gauge protection is via the rating (unless you are going to test yourself). SFI is the international standard (though FIA is also common), the higher the number the rating after the / the better the protection. Most gasoline car folks run a /3 or /5. The minimum level you will...
  6. Road Atlanta HPDE -- FL5 Track Review

    LogR is a little weird, assume LogR 2.0 behaves the same, you have to swipe right to get it into track recording mode once you have the track setup and are in autoscoring. Took me a long time and lots of frustration to figure that out.
  7. Possible Oil Temp Improvement Mod.

    So you saw a 7 degree improvement when the ambient temp was 11 degrees cooler.... Nothing to do with your "mod". Yes I know you had to slow down on the hotter day. I would expect changes in ambient temperatures to account at least twice as much change in oil temps. I guess you could do the...
  8. Any trick to changing rear brake pads? Do you need a Honda scan tool?

    You either need any scan tool with a maintenance mode, such as Autel. Or you need to take the EPB apart by disassembling the drive motor from the gear and wind it back manually. People will tell you that you can just use a brake compression tool and wind it back, and that will work until it...
  9. Japanese Market Info: 2023 Civic Type R Ordering, Production Volume, Deliveries

    For the FK8 we know that badge numbers were intentionally not assigned sequentially. From a Swindon factory worker. It can easily be assumed that Honda intentionally does not want the badge numbers (outside of maybe the first 10 or 100 that are specially earmarked for VIPs) to correlate...
  10. Transport Blocks PSA: make sure your dealer removes suspension transport blocks before taking delivery!

    Yes they did. But they were bright orange. Making them black is just stupid. I imagine the dealer used the wrong PDI checklist. Probably one for the basic Civic. But either way, screw up. Thanks for the PSA.
