    1,500 miles service

    My son usually comes over and hangs out in the garage with me while I work too, so I have a second set of eyes

    1,500 miles service

    I keep receipts for everything I do and document them in Fuelly where I track my mileage as well

    Spring mountain- experienced racers?

    yeah, been looking at the costs of flying, car rental, parking, etc. and trying to decide if it's worth it for me. Right no3w, it's a toss up between flying and driving. I love to drive, even for 7-10 hours straight. I've only got 7 track days over 3 years, so I'll definitely benefit from the...

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    And if you drop in the JB4 and increase the HP, you already have a great set of brakes. Always said, if you're gonna add power, you gotta add brakes, and Cadillac has given us the breathing room with these brakes

    CT5-V Anyone know highest decibels of sound?

    And Laguna puts theirs mid way up a hill straight so that you're under full load. I guess I'll know soon enough

    CT5-V Anyone know highest decibels of sound?

    I'll be there on the 17th of February. I believe that my car (CT4-V BW) is quieter than your 5 BW.

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    Thunderhill East or west? I think this car is well suited to East, but was worried it's a little ungainly for west? What's your opinion? My "home track" is Laguna Seca, but will be doing at least Button Willow in 2024

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    for me, the JB4 would be fine. California is making it harder to get away with a tuned vehicle (from what I've read) in that they are supposedly going to be looking at fueling or boost levels that aren't stock. JB4 is easily removed/replaced (even though I have another 7 years til that's an...

    CT5-V Anyone know highest decibels of sound?

    I was curious about this. I was planning to do a 90 dB track day at Laguna Seca and am really hoping I can run full sound and not get black flagged

    I have actually spoken with other Type R owners that had issues with their transmissions as well as the techs at Honda. Kind of a mixed bag. If you're watching Zygrene's videos, my car can be seen in the background at the beginning

    My son had a 2020 Type R, horrible shifter. Very finicky. There's a reason there's a huge aftermarket for the Type R shifter bits, bushings, mounts, etc. And yes, he and I both know how to drive a manual transmission. I'd take the Subaru with it's springy clutch return over the type R

    Fit and Finish Issues - '23 4BW

    I've only got about 2200 on mine, but fortunately, it's squeak free My son does a lot of noise complaints on Jeeps (go figure) and spends a lot of time with the little felt pads after using both his ears and an electronic device listening for squeaks For weatherstrip type squeaks, I've used...

    CT4-V Having the gas tank on the passenger side is awesome.

    my last 5 cars have had the gas tank on the passenger side. It's second nature to pull in and fill on the right side, it's almost a requirement

    How effective is LSD at keeping car straight?

    Mustangs load up the rear end, then you let off the gas, you get the whiplash reaction of the rear end coming around. A buddy replaced all the rear end bushings with much stiffer product and got rid of that issue. Now he just needs to learn to shift properly
