    When we timed the cars originally on our track comfort vs +R was only .5 seconds difference. (Comfort faster) There was in no world where the CTR was going to catch that car with how the GR was setup. But funny enough the car stayed about 1.5 corners back in 15 minutes.

  3. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    I'd agree, its not so much about time as it is feel. SRF may work 5 track days it may last two depending on car. Brake fluid like oil is a consumable. With SRF you may get a slightly soft pedal but it typically won't fall off to the point you lose brakes. However if you are feeling that soft...
  4. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    Its going to depend on the track and how much air/moisture gets in system. Great example is after boiling fluid, pedal will come back, feel firmish after fluid cools. But the next time you get heat in system, threshold for boiling will be lower. So you may have gotten 10 laps now pedal is...
  5. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    I will tell you first hand DO NOT F*** around with the stock brake fluid on track. We just did our Elantra N vs CTR video and after 5 laps, pedal went softer, within two more corners pedal went to floor and there was just enough brake power to slow down from 25MPH. Swap it to whatever, Motul...
  6. FL5 vs Elantra N DCT

    Tomorrow we shoot the CTR vs the 65k Corolla, that should be very interesting.
  7. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Yes sir, just needs software to change the shock voltages.
  8. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Mugen did research on switching the adaptive dampers away from ZF and found nothing is comparable for adaptive units. The oem who does the ADS module only works as a 1st and 2nd tier supplier its not a reflashable unit. Thats the most logical angle for aftermarket is to create a programmable...
  9. CW FL5 Civic Type R w/ Integra Type S Wheels

    This is a rare case where Honda and Acura made very good looking wheels with proper offsets. Swapping the ITS wheel is proof.
  10. Civic Type R Ownership | A Trip to Crazy Town [Savage Geese]

    Since this is a car I wanted to buy, not just for the content sake I have far less desire to use it as an excuse to make videos on it. So this is really a one off until I start messing with the car more. The Type R/Type S is low hanging fruit for content, they get traffic I think thats why...
  11. Civic Type R Ownership | A Trip to Crazy Town [Savage Geese]

    It's more about the constant questions of why people love a FWD car pushing 50k. I had a guy say I was crazy to get one when I could get an old M3, M2, C7. So I think in some ways we have some screws loose but at same time used it as ammo to explain it a bit more. (Respectfully)
  12. Civic Type R Ownership | A Trip to Crazy Town [Savage Geese]

    I'll have a mod video in Spring. It won't be some crazy, "I changed everything" video.
  13. Negative attention

    The problem with owning the Bugatti of FWD cars is people want to be close to it as though you are a celebrity. I usually pull off in middle of a crowded highway with my pen and get out and sign an autograph in the center lane and tell them about VTEC on my exhaust cam shaft. You gotta just...
  14. Second Gear Grind 😢

    I had a 2nd gear grind around 1500 miles, going from 1st to 2nd at 2800RPM. No real explanation. If its almost always for you, something mechanical is wrong, probably issue with 2nd gear set.
  15. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    I don't know how any of you can drive these cars as dailies without having massaging seats, 60 way ambient lighting ,power fold down screens, powered running boards, ionizer, fragrance options, hands free traffic assist, auto trans, heated armrests, self leveling air ride, soft close doors...
  16. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    Zero issues but swap brak E No issue however if you're going to 20 minutes sessions at a minimum you should have brake fluid done and potentially better pads other than that it's good to go
  17. New Type-R (way better than Type S ;) )

    Test driving new cars and judging power if fuel trim learning did not complete or done on the ECU end can make for a bad first impression. (Dealers often let cars idle too long, or get in a drive the doors off etc) The ITS makes more TQ and power than CTR on a dyno as an FYI.
  18. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    If I am not mistaken if thats the same dyno, it was at nearly 100F? The FL5 on track is widely known for pulling timing with heat as well. Personally, I don't care. Both are fun cars not racing/comp cars. If I do a track session, the tires are falling off before cooling/timing is getting...
  19. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    Only cage match id be having is with a Wendys manager.
  20. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    They are very close. In some ways Bridgestones are more consistent at a slight penalty in noise. Id use them on my own car.
