Thank you! Looks like a have a lot to talk to my mechanic about - from oil to alignment.
Thanks for the reminder about a half tank, I compeltely forgot about it.
I’ve been accused of wearing a tinfoil hat before—especially during past OnStar discussions on Chevy forums. But here’s the thing: GM just settled a lawsuit agreeing not to sell personal driving data for five years. So between buying into the FOMO and rocking the foil, I’ll pick the foil every...
Actually, that's why I went with a RaceBox Mini S, I avoided to connect my phone to the GPS while AX-ing. The original intent to get an S was for motocross, where phones are prohibited and there is no way to safely mount them, but it worked perfectly for AX, too. But then many drivers started to...
I hesitated to write this, but while sipping my morning coffee on the porch, it hit me—I would have really appreciated knowing this about my previous car. So, I figured I'd share.
Mybe it's a common knowledge, but the 2026 Acura Integra Type S does not come with a Telematics Control Unit (TCU)...
Sorry, double texting, but @Victorofhavoc you were so right! The Honda guy remembered my questions and just texted me a link to Motul 8100 Power 0W-20 high performance oil
Thank you! HPDE is scheduled for September, I am trying to understand if I can take a Friday off at work to travel 4 hours to the desert.
I used to track my Camaro. 7 tracks and 20 events, I guess, I am just slow coming back to this in Cali in this heat. All tracks are either in Death Valley...
Another PCA‑LA autocross happened today. I finished 3rd out of 5 in CC09 against Cayman S drivers, but that’s not really the point. I had an instructor ride along, and he used to work for Honda. When he got in my car, instead of selecting Sport+, he switched to Individual and set every single...
Thank you, tribe!
@optronix Are you talking about this tires? https://tires.bridgestone.com/en-us/tires/automotive/potenza/re-71rz I love ho Bridgestone doesn't publish TW on their site. Or I just can't find it anywhere.
Another quick question for those running Apex wheels on their DE5.
I know Apex requires 60° conical seat lug nuts, but I want to double-check the exact specs before I order or reuse what I already have. What's the correct size for the DE5 Integra Type S?
Diameter: M14 or M12?
Thread pitch...
Looking for some input on tires.
I've got a bit of a unique situation. I live in an area without street addresses, so no deliveries to my door. I have a PO box, but Apex Wheels won't ship there. I talked to my local Discount Tire — the guys I take my car to after every autocross event for free...
Wait, but SCCA explicitly says it is Unofficial Solo Car Classifier. The book says:
B Street Touring (BST) – Primarily mid-to-high power and performing sports cars, coupes, AWD sedans, and hatchbacks.
So fk them. You stick to the official rules book.
I'd let them protest.
PCA LA since 2024 allows non-Porsches to classify and compete in Porsche classes. You can check it here: https://classification.zone8.org/ (you need to register to classify your car).
From what I know they are the only one PCA who does it. Or it will be my "Monday" talking, lol
I am advocating...
Right, I read the rules and looks like your downpipe got you. I'll be getting ready for a SCCA certification to design courses, so I'll be reading rules more thoroughly, I'll let you know if I learn anything that can "save" you from XA.
But I also checked the classifier, and there is no BST...
I couldn't imagine how possibly you modified a 2026 DE5 to get into XA, but was shy to ask that question. What did you change? Just wheels and tires? Oh, and now suddenly CAN DE5 makes sense...
Thank you, so do you think flow formed with 58 offset will be better than forged with 53 offset because they sit closer to the original 60? With a $1k difference in price. Those are the only avail in 18x9.5.
