*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

I flipped them and threw it back together. Back pads are toast. I may get another set of try something different. 8200 miles and 2 track weekends.

If you don’t do the pedal dance the car will eat the back pads like no tomorrow.

Did you have the traction control on?

Turning it off stops the rear pads from getting eaten right?

Yes

Yes. My last instructor wanted everything left on. So here I am ? at least the pads I buy are $140. I plan on pedal dancing next event ?

 

[svvitch]

Yes

I thought without pedal dance brake vectoring stays on even with long press in R mode?

As you get faster you'll find that the traction control is a nuisance. It fights you.

IIRC vectoring remains active on the short press, and goes away on the long press.

Long press in R mode leaves agile handling assist active but disables stability control. Pedal dance disables stability control and agile handling assist. Both keep ABS.

I had to look it up again.

How can that be true when part of the vectoring is to slow individual wheel down?

If I read it correctly brake vectoring is both for turn in and stability. We need to ask Honda ?

the traction control in this car is so confusing. Press button while in R does things different than in other modes then there is VSA and agile handling. Wish was like BMW where you have traction control on (all nannies), MDM where car gives you some slip angle and does not interfere as much, and all off. Simple and effective, no annoying pedal dance or half presses or long presses or presses in different driving modes that do different things.

Even Elantra N you can turn the TC on/off fully very easily and while in motion. In Honda, if you don't do it at the start, you're toast. which totally sucks

The engineers know what's best for us ?

not surprised pretty sure some N engineers were poached from M



I never even noticed that, you can't switch it while you are moving. That is annoying.

I like to have some traction on, I am doing a few track days a year and not chasing every millisecond and have seen traction control save people. But really loved MDA in bmw because it was midway btw no traction and full nannies, didn't cut power or intervened till later but it could save your bacon.
I don't understand how +R differs from say sport because it still has TC but less intrusive? Or is type R + short press of TC similar? Its just so confusing.

I couldn't switch drive modes while I was on the track. Went out in comfort by accident, and tried to put it in +R and it wouldn't do it.
