Track day yesterday. Was a charity time attack event with some very..sketchy classing lol. Finished P3 in class which is OK. I was on my hankook rs4 tires which suck. Rears are from 2021 and well heat cycled. Extremely lesson in car control lol

Why can I spam post here but not my own thread??

Well that clearly never worked because the error was for 60 seconds then you could post again immediately. I have been green for a little while now and never an issue. Considering this place is dead, and considering there are not many active threads or users here…limiting everything even more...

so this is very clearly NEW. In the past it was 1 minute or something...i have donated plenty in the past so what is this like I'm being held hostage here? very cool...

Got this error today trying to post in my own thread Also I get this error anytime I open the page on my phone and try to send something in the chat. If I refresh the page it then works. Weird

I don’t know where I fall on the scale of better driver vs builder vs setup guy. I definitely know I prefer driving to setting up and building. I would like to go through my suspension and measure everything as well. Maybe this winter. I also use my camber plates in an interesting way...

I think for time attack/GLTC these guys run some pretty serious cages which adds some weight back. Not sure if autox requires a cage? Either way those cars are crazy light lol. My car sits at high 2600’s/low 2700’s depending on if I have the rear interior removed. Class rules between series...

Helps me make some sense of how and why the civic works well. Everyone loves to cry about no torque from the k20 lol

Probably one of the most interesting posts I’ve come across in a long time. In the comments is a great example

There are not many people out there still reading entire threads like this so props to you! i know i have done my fair share of long thread readings lol Yea so you know exactly how it is. Its almost exactly double to build the same car in Canada that you could build in the USA which makes...

Thank you! Im sure it was a mission to get through all of this lol but its been a journey for sure. So classing is always a pain. I compete in 2 different local series here, Ontario Time Attack, and CSCS. They use 2 VERY different rule books. CSCS - more so "here are the rules, build to the...

I gotta get one of those. I have a tool for plastic razor blades which works well but steel ones are needed sometimes

This head/block should be in good shape. We’ll see anyways. I’m not trying to set records here just have a 210hp spare engine lol fuck. I’ll do valve seals and maybe my oem+ cams and good enough

I like this. My buddy has some big honing stones which are flat. Those work well for block prep. My big mistake last time I did this was not cleaning up the block deck. I left some teflon on there from the previous head gasket and of course it ended up leaking at that spot. So razor blades and...

Machine shop not an option here. I’m not fucking with the bottom end at all. I’d rather steal the head for my build and buy another unopened long block then do what is essentially another build. This isnt cost or time effective so it ain’t happening. gonna be 110% DIY and if that’s not gonna...

so whats my best bet for head/block prep for reassembly? Last time i did just the head/gasket i didnt prep the block and the headgasket went after 8 track days. Do i just scrap the block clean with a razor or what lol

This was literally the next thing on my mind to try

So…I was ready to literally kill myself. I was so over this shit. The magnet couldn’t reach it. It wasn’t happening. Thankfully my friend is a patient man because I was either unaliving myself or starting to drain fluids to pull this engine. In my mind it was one or the other. Little bit of...

It’s ferrous thankfully so the magnet can grab it BUT it’s position wouldn’t allow for the magnet to reach it Also the way it was bent. When I finally got the magnet on it it was just catching all the spark plug threads it was impossible. Couldn’t get it straight enough to come out. There’s...

Only used these 10000 times to find TDC. Fucked me good today
