    Unfortunately I considered all of those things. No idea wtf is going on. My alignment is off pretty bad. Pulls to the right hard so maybe there’s some drag there or something but I doubt it. Engine must just be clapped idk. I’ll leak down test it and see

    I just want some consistent reliable power lol. I ain’t even asking for much here. Give me 230whp with 165wtq and we can do some serious damage with that lol fuck sakes

    gearing is definitely magical stuff. I honestly thought id have some close ratio gearbox by now but my tuner has definitely convinced me we dont need it. shifting more is slow. no peaky power bands here. all about that midrange torque and spreading it out as wide as possible. This does suck...

    Gearing is the answer to the "k20 dOnT mAkE aNy ToRqUe" problem that the entire internet seems to have. That and poor cam selection and terrible VTC tuning. That said, am definitely missing that 10ftlbs and 15whp. It felt real real strong with those numbers. enough to walk away from bolt...

    Went for some logs over the weekend as tuner was making some corrections at part throttle. I decided to do wot log, you know health check type thing. I did one on satuday and 2 on sunday back to back. always the same road, same start point, same direction. WELL... Looks like I've lost over...

    A lot of my early days were open lapping at the track with every sort of random shit. They’d literally let anyone in. I kinda learned how to negotiate traffic and I’m not worried about passing mid corner. Need to use your brain though can’t just send it. That’s part of it. A lot of people get...

    haha. This is how it goes and competition is the quickest way to show people they are not all that. The dudes who do well have gotten in their seat time, they compete alot which gives great experience in battle, they have also developed the car to suit their needs as well as fixing all the...

    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...

    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...

    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...

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