You could also easily cut some abs plastic, and mount it to the mount screw and then higher on the upright area. That might give enough rigidity so it's not flapping. Other downside to front plate states... If you move to a state that doesn't have them or buy a car from one that does, then...

That looks like the electric not-a-grill grill, so I'd expect not, especially for airflow.

From a performance perspective, titanium is a lot more efficient than carbon at repelling heat so I think the carbon is a downgrade there on the prl setup. That said, the ti piece has an aluminum elbow right on that toasty turbo, so likely the benefit of the titanium is evened out by the toasty...

The stock intake has a resonance chamber and two flex pipes (that kill sound). You're also working through denser paper media. Remove the resonance chamber, replace flex pipes with silicone hoses, and toss in a panel filter and that's pretty much as loud as it will go. Sure you could rip off the...

I know we've talked about this before, but it's definitely a fast, slippery slope from "street drivable car" to "not remotely street legal and track toy only". I'd also recommend looking at a couple other common orgs and their requirements so you're not caught off guard. One of the big ones is...

Which cage/harness rulebook are you trying to fit? Some are more serious than others. You could have a shop fab you a removable cage mount so that it's also backseat/street friendly. You don't want a half cage on the street, especially for rear passengers.

Do you lower your seat, tug the belt to lock, and then raise your seat to hold you down? I've found this mitigates a large amount of my movement. I'm with you guys that I wish they had a bit more hip and waist hug, but once I'm in my suit the suede hangs onto me fairly well. I just couldn't...

Here are photos of the race with 12 sessions and 1500 total street miles on the.

So far on the potenza race I have approximately 12 sessions, with 9 of them being on a rough surface that is known for eating tires. The fronts are at 4.5-6/32nds nice and evenly across from inside to outside. Zero bad shoulder wear. This is with 2.1 neg camber up front with 0 toe. This is the...

Just some additional thoughts on tire pressures since it sounds like you guys are technical and will appreciate it... If you're used to a FR sports car you're probably used to relatively flat and low pressures. An FF car on the other hand carries a lot more load and force up front. Consider 62%...

Yeah for pressure, 30s hot on a Michelin street tire is going to ride on the rims through corners. Especially with these tiny sidewalls, you want about the door pressure cold. First time I took the car out I started with door pressure and it worked it's way to 44/40 and that was honestly spot on...

Being a Texas person, I highly recommend taking it to a track day with NASA Texas! The lead Instructor in your region (Scott Adam's) drives an rsx racecar and is a big Honda fan. Marie is the name of the woman who runs everything and she's super awesome as well. Welcome to the party!

I changed to the dba4k because my rear were totally worn out. Fronts are still oem disc and now on xp12. Xp12 is the way if you're chasing the best times. Xp24 if you want a more endurance pad, but be ready to sacrifice tire and have some lockup on anything less than a slick. Your friend is...

I just got the xp12 on recently. For the weight of the car it's a more appropriate pad. I wore them about 40% down doing 9 or 10 sessions at 15-20 mins per session on the potenza race tire. I also got the Rev match code recently and cleared it with a scan tool. I noticed exactly when it came...

Which one are you using?

When I got my borla I didn't like the look of the welds and found loose weld beads all over, including inside the helmholtz. Borla customer service was great and they were ready to ship a new muffler section quickly, but I got the weld balls out and all was okay. Given my experience with them, I...

Have you gone back to check all the things you've touched and if there are any signs that contact is being made in those areas? Rattling sounds from contact can travel very far...

Regardless of what is or isn't someone's style, I love seeing customization of any sort! Good work! How did you buff it out? Metal polish, steel wool?

I've seen some absolute craters show up around malls and older shopping areas. Sometimes it's a crack between lanes and you just can't avoid it. I feel in general roads have gotten worse and repaired less as everyone moved to suv and trucks as the current day wagons and minivans. We have a lot...

Satin can be a bit tricky. I would also recommend picking up some 1500 and 2500 grit for final finishing if you really want to make it perfect. Good luck!
