    The rear deck plastic and the dead’s are the heaviest. Around 40-45lbs there. The rest adds up to maybe another 10-15lbs. I was thinking of getting some sub box carpet and making a rear seat delete panel but that’s still outside of the rules and I could be protested. In the one series, I’d...

    This is kinda my goal. I can go to whichever event is at the track I want or works for my schedule. I guess I should stay with this goal. Gives me more options for competition. Just means I won’t be optimized for either rule book. Like I gotta put my rear interior back in which sucks

    My buddy said the same. This is probably on purpose. I just don’t get it though. I know the two series are very different, nerds vs fast and furious basically. But why not make the rules more similar? This would allow people to compete in both series without being forced to build for one or...

    This is true. While one rule book kinda accepts this and lets it be, the other rule book must be trying to keep costs down. The way the rule is written is dumb though. 2 way dampers are allowed but no remote reservoirs. The other series just says “oh you have coilovers? Just take this penalty...

    I was considering having my coilovers upgraded into 2ways with remote reservoirs. My one series the rule book says no remote reservoirs allowed. but 600hp? no problem. thats allowed. My other series, no problem. Ive already taken the penalty for coilovers so i can have 4 ways if i want. LOL...

    There was a pretty specific application I had to fill out. Asking all sorts of shit about the car, current build, future plans, all sorts of shit. Cars usage. Blah blah. Then they ask what I can offer them and why I’m worthy. I filled it out well. I mentioned the class I compete in...

    Well I applied to fortune auto my coilover brand for a sponsorship and it looks like they’ve accepted. Decals are being sent next week. Discount has been offered on rebuild/upgrade of my current Coilovers. This is sick lol. I’m a nobody but sponsorships help!! Even if it’s just a discount...

    Broken This thing must’ve been hanging on for dear life for a while cause yea. It’s very broken lol. YouTube made the job seem impossible. Special tools required and what not. I was stressing about it but ended up being no more than 20-30 minutes in and out. Not a big deal. I did rotate...

    Like nothing happened I call it the 2 foot fix. From 2 feet away it’s perfect. Any closer…yaya it’s a beat up civic leave me alone More than anything it’s symmetrical to the otherside and that’s what counts lol

    Picked up a mint clutch pedal lastnight for $60. Also picked up the reinforcement brace thingy to avoid this issue in the future. Still pissed about the front end though. That’s gonna be a real pain in my ass

    This is how the day finished up. Did a lot of logs, different maps. Tuner found some power everywhere. red and blue were 2 maps back to back. Same road. Same starting point. Same direction. Clearly the red one saw some torque spike or something weird but I can confidently say I’m probably...

    Today map in red vs last weeks in blue. Logged back to back. Same road. Same direction. Same starting point. My logs are always as consistent as humanly possible. That 7ftlbs of torque feels amazing. I know it’s not much but for NA where all he modified was most likely vtc, that’s huge. Feels...

    lol I’m having the opposite issue. The ecu ISNT seeing enough knock signal. It’s actually like “yo. Wtf. Why we not hearing anything from the knock sensor? Throw code”. it’s the opposite problem. My car typically has a very very loud knock signal. Always noisy but now it’s very quiet. I can...

    Messed around with the harness a bit. disconnected a few parts then reseated. also tested continuity from the ECU to the knock sensor and it is strong. no issues here. Plugged everything back in since i couldnt find any issues. Went for another test drive. Same route as last time. The check...

    It doesn’t go into limp mode which is nice. Seems to drive fine

    Keep getting a cel for knock sensor not working. Swapped the sensor. Went for a drive. Code came back after a while again. I checked continuity from ecu side harness, directly to the knock sensor. Continuity seems strong. Wiggled the harness around and still it was solid. I unplugged some...

    Did my first wot log. Using last years stock engine tune this setup seems to make the exact same whp or even slightly higher. It’s 99f out here so it’s not cool. This is workable though. I can live with it lol. It feels good enough for the rest of this season anyways long as it holds together

    This is a good idea. I’ve never used that product. Usually a trip to the track and giving the engine the beans really cleans it out. The oil I just drained was fresh on Friday. I put MAYBE 15 miles on it plus 30-40 min of idle time while bleeding the coolant. That oil came out black as hell...

    On the civic you can see it in some of my videos. It’s just buries itself and just stays pegged at 9000 lol Took the car for a quick drive right now. It definitely works! It’s missing some power but past 5500rpm it’s not terrible actually. Better than expected. Had knock sensor code after my...

    Love using the whole tach. It’s very satisfying when the needle stops but you’re still accelerating
