The metal hook on our machine isn't strong enough to damage a wheel like that. To me it looks like they didn't reverse mount it and couldn't get the hook to grab the tire because there is no relief in the wheel on the outside. So they drove a screw driver down in to force the tire on to the...
Been awhile since updating this thread because I haven’t done anything fun with the car. Last week while checking for steering recalls I noticed a TSB for a check engine light coming on after starting the car. I’ve had it happen twice and the fix was a flash update so I did that last week. Love...
I have them on my Miata for TT but at the one event I've done with it ambient temps were so cold that they were terrible. Looking forward to next year and going after lap records in the Spring temps I'm thinking the CR-S isn't a great option.
? haha that's fair. I have only been doing a couple of events per year with the Civic so I'm halfway done. I did however just fill out some paper work so I can race the Miata next month. So it won't be as fast as the Type R but at least I'll get to bang some doors.
Game plan is to finish out the year on the RT660 and then in the spring get some sticky stuff to help close the gap. Losing to a Hyundai hurts my soul.
Got a great view of the floor board!
Thanks! I got the tires when I planned on just doing HPDE and no TT. They've been great for that but I think they're about done. They have 5 or 6 two day events on them now and a few autocrosses. Oddly enough they seem fine in the faster sections but any...
I have the Not Lowered Car Friendly rack pictured above. With a few boards it works great on anything except stanced cars. Your profile pic looks like it's pretty low but could be the angle. I'm with Moomoo in that they sound like they just don't want to do it. I wouldn't force it if that's the...

Nice Lap! How do the Nankang tires look on the 9.5" wheel? Somebody at the track mentioned those tires run wide for their size so he might be putting 255 on instead.
VIR trip complete! Awesome weekend meeting a bunch of people from the forum. Perfect weather. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. My best lap time of the weekend was 2:10.7. The Civic hit 9000 miles on the way home and I still enjoy it as much as the day I got it. Here are my pics from the...
