Thank you sir for your dedication! Unfortunately, I’ll not likely see track time like you do in your car but I would like to give it a go at some point. Interested and following along to see how you go. Planning some very light OE+ for my car at some point but in no hurry, it’ll handle the mountain roads no problem as it is. If you guys that do this much more frequently find some important link to keeping it cool though, that’d be something I’d consider if I ever decide to push it more than just a tune.
You could leave everything alone and just go for an oil cooler to be on the safe side!

Maybe its time for that Garret Turbo ?
Dude...I wish. Not enough money for the fuel, tune, and turbo at the moment. Consumables from the last two track events have the budget tight!

Time for the track again this weekend! The only significant change being the PRL downpipe. Still on the factory tune though! I've changed my oil, topped off coolant, replaced the front brake pads, and checked my alignment (with me in the car)! Off to the races!

He’s being modest. He was smoking out there. After 1 session they wanted to move him to advance. I was in my RX7 but damn does that FL5 move!

Also, this a heavy American muscle car track event. Lots of people probably butt hurt they got passed by “a civic” ?
