Yeah I mean to be honest, unless you're going to get real serious, the car is pretty damn great for mild track use as it rolls off the assembly line! Depending how aggressive you drive and how long you'll be on track, you're probably going to want to swap out brake fluid and probably pads, but...

Yes, as @elh0102 mentions above, the springs will introduce negative camber- but significantly more so to the rear than the front. Expect -~1.5 degrees in the front, and ~-2.5 in the rear. If you look closely in pictures of lowered cars there is a visible difference. For me, this wasn't...

Makes sense- so at best it's a subjective thing and not something that everyone should go run and do because it's "better"... but it might be "better" for some people. Definitely not "night and day".

Thanks for the objective description. Somebody had to do it. Just goes to show just because someone takes the time to make a YouTube video and swears it's a "night and day difference" because they did it on a Mustang doesn't mean any of it is actually true, or worth considering. Also call me...

Maybe I'm just a jaded negative Nancy, but it actually puzzles me why anyone would have expectations of changes to this platform. It's clearly a one-and-done, Honda killing it off in the UK and their own domestic market kind of validates that, doesn't it? Why the hell would they add creature...

Yeah... I do track my cars and the Integra is infinitely more fun and confidence inspiring than any of the cars you mentioned (I get the nostalgia with the STI, I had an s13 240 I wish I could get back...); obviously the ceiling is lower than some of them, but track capability was a MUST for me...

These sound like a list of specific gripes, you didn't really get into anything regarding the actual driving experience. All the cars you have listed in your sig can basically be boiled down to big German sedans. You did mention they're all automatic, which is the #1 defining difference- and a...

Yep I'll withhold judgement until I see it, ABP sets the bar very, very high... and for the record I'm not the biggest fan of Sapphire Blue personally. I'm a Gentian Blue kind of guy:

I agree that I like ABP more, but the "double" reminds me of Porsche Sapphire Blue, which many people love.

Has it been confirmed for the ITS? So far zero details have been revealed for a 26 Type S, but there is a press blitz happening for the base/A-spec and its color-matched grille. It'll be exciting to see new colors or any other changes, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there are...

"Proper engaging/fun drivers car" can't be had with rev-matching? And no, the noise will never go away.

^this, automatically pairs up. I just bought the OEM sensors and had them installed on my Apex's, I've swapped them on/off twice now with the OEM wheels I use for winter and the sensors always just pair up without any action on my part.

Yeah I want to get these on a race track too... but I'm going to need to do brakes first. Knowing my level of motivation vs inherent laziness, it's doubtful that will happen before it gets cold and I get these tires off the car. Also my theory as to the noise has shifted to the rack...

I can't honestly comment on the noise vs the PRL... I don't think many can, as finding folks like our guy here in this thread who has experienced both is pretty hard to come by... I've never heard the PRL in-car (a guy had one in an FL5 today but clearly didn't notice anything outside the...

I finally got to experience the might and majesty of 200 treadwear tires in a motorsports setting. Also a decent amount of driving around town and a couple 2+ hour commutes. I bought some Falken RT660+ and had them installed last week. First of all, if you're not doing at least track-adjacent...

Usually. But that said, I ordered a set of RT660+ on Wednesday the 30th, and I got 2 delivered 3 days later on Saturday, and the other 2 didn't arrive until the following Tuesday. That's still not terrible, but I had inflated expectations of the tires arriving super fast like you describe and it...

Yeah that's a stellar price for new tires, and from what I understand a solid alternative to PS4S. Great find.

Must be NorCal or something... I'd skip the all seasons entirely if I was in pretty much any part of California. Is it just me who hates all seasons? It seems like a lot of folks don't seem to be super bothered by them. I notice literally every time I turn the wheel. It's just a "slimy" feeling...

I don't think Lotus truly exists in the form it's always been in anymore. It's more of a reanimated corpse with Geely at the helm. But if they do continue to improve on the Emira and I can somehow achieve full confidence that it won't be broken for months at a time, I still get the "fizz" every...

I somewhat agree with this take- technically it's "better" at being an intercooler than OEM, but when you look at the overall function of what you're using the car for IMHO it's a worse option than OEM for all use cases other than those going after big power. There's an argument to be made for...
