I’d agree. There was actually a genwon at this event. All stickered up. Big ass fmic hanging off the front end. Fire shooting out the exhaust. he was 5-6 seconds off the pace of my civic and we can assume fbo turbo upgrade so probably ~350whp. Been there done that. It’ll take you forever to...

This. Literally just this. I did things backwards with the Mazda. Made a fun street car that I then wanted to track. It didn’t go well and my classing was fuuuuuucked right up from the mods. It wasn’t a good time. With the civic, it went from stock, to some upgrades, to where we are today. I...

Team mechanic inspecting rear hubs. We did this after every single time i came off track. Thankfully its a 20 minute job. These hubs are 5 events old now and will be retired for next season. They are the moog hubs with the thicker flanges but i still feel 4 events is probably max? Depending on...

one positive about honda civic thankfully consumables are not DUMB money. my rear tires are 2 seasons old and still fine. the brake pads have 8 events on them and some street driving. The rotors were also 2 seasons old lol. It aint BAD!! now picture a corvette, 2000$ for a pair of rear tires...

Just gonna leave this here. It was a hell of a day I'm under the PT class, i qualified with a 1:21.9, second guy was a 1:22.03 The G35 won first place in the finals by 5 tenths but it was quickly disqualified off the podium when someone called out his 295 wide tires. HOLY SHIT LOLOL thats...

I decided to check out my brakes just because i had some paranoia lastnight and this track is so extremely brutal on brakes. I was just gonna send it as is but yea thats not a good idea lol. Heres what i found, This crack is just a little too much for me completely smoked as they say. Slots...

Final time attack event of the season is this sunday. I have registered for 1 class down from where I have been. this track has two long straights where time is made with power, something i dont have much of right now. No point in trying to compete with the 300-500hp subarus here. Brake pads...

for some reason the link is broken here but im sure i can find something similar on amazon. Ill have to give it a try for sure

Interesting my. I just tried it at my desk. Took 12 seconds of video then pulled the plug without stopping recording and the recording was gone. I have a hero 7 black Hmmm ok good tip. I will need to see. Worst case I can hardwire it but I’m guessing the GoPro takes 5 volts so I’ll need some...

This is good to know thank you! So, what i found today. When you run on battery and the battery dies the gopro will at least save all the footage up until then. With the direct power source, if you remove power you lose whatever footage. This means when i come off track i need to remember to...

Just tested it. seems to work fine off usb type C direct power with no battery. Now to just set this up in the car...

Can the GoPro run off a direct power source? Like I’ll run a cable to it if I can that would be alright

Decent lap from Wednesday. Stupid GoPro always fucking dies on the fastest laps. I hate that thing. We can see here. Much wot time. Much driving. This is a quick one. Car makes some serious G’s in a few places too lol. Dayumm Grand Bend Technical - First track day after engine replacement

I definitely need something upgraded. I mean stock is OK to 8500-8600 at most. It’s not terrible but it’s definitely slower lol. We’ll see. For now the idea is to have a spare ready to go so I don’t miss events and shit. I hate that. Even if it is a stock engine whatever

The cylinders go oval over time. Can’t just stuff new pistons in there unfortunately. Need machine work and all that. Maybe a stock unfucked with engine is the best spare lol

Might be the move. For sure I need 1 backup. I kinda wanna do a budget built back up using the cheap rods and cheap oem style pistons available. I think that would be cool but it’s money

I could probably get all of the currently for sale engines for like 3k total. Much less than another build lol. I do have my engine at the machine shop though. Hopefully I have a power upgrade for next season that actually lasts. This current engine id like to keep as a spare

Instead of building another I’m gonna buy every single one off Facebook lol. Maybe this is the way

Took a half day at work today and fucked off to the track. Wanted to give the car a shakedown before I register for Mondays track day. The weather was fantastic today. Cool air temps but plenty of sun warming the ground. Ideal conditions. The car has the 8500rpm German safety tune so...

The last competition of the season is September 14th. I’m trying to move down a class cause of my engine downgrade. I just don’t have that little bit extra anymore and track has 2 long straights where I’ll just be throwing time away. If I move down a class I’ll be in a much better spot BUT rear...
