Eddie sorry to hear about your situation but hang tough in there mate and things will get better. There are a couple of my videos on Utube with my old Starion as well as the Honda so will message you with my name so hopefully you can find them.

Have another track day next week and IMO cars used mainly for hi rev hard & fast driving need more regular services that normal road cars so Have checked all the pads as it's not good to have them worn down to the metal back plates. Have flushed the brake lines and blead the lines with Motul...

Have you got a full from the turbo 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust system with straight thru muffler and resonators. What boost pressure do you have?

How much power does in make at the tyres and how much more do you need or want ?

With all of the people in Australia claiming to be or have a First Nations genetic history I think that they are just getting on the gravy train ( $$$$) including many that are a lighter shade of white than me have as much credibility as me claiming to be a native American if I was conceived in...

He is not a drifter but I can appreciate the skills needed to be a top level competitor in drifting .

Hello and welcome:) IF you are serious about improving your driving skills and general knowledge you will enjoy the book.

I also have his life story book as well and it is also a good read. I also had a small driving book by Frank Gardiner as well but whoever I lent it to has never returned it, To me "advanced" driving is a step below "performance" driving. So will be interested in whatever you come up with.

Mate am not a puter geek and don't know how to post pics so all you need to do is go to your nearest pet supply store and ask .

BTW I do turn off the stability control , radio and aircon when the helmet and gloves go on |B

Definitely have the SS braided lines for better pedal feel. I have blead and flushed the fluid lines from RBF600 deg fluid and upgraded to Motul RBF 700 deg fluid and did discover some air bubbles when I was doing it as overheating the fluid can cause air bubbles to appear so I will be bleeding...

Heading off again to Morgan Park an app 2 +hour tow away from home for another practice day on Wednesday to do some more laps and work on smoothing out my corner lines.MP has a lot of elevation changes as well as many different types of corners many of them off camber , some very tight others...

Was wondering if anyone has taken my advice and bought his book ?

Thanks Eddie |B It's all about enjoyment and trying not to be slow and had a good days driving as fast as possible and finding out more about the car and myself. Unfortunately since then have caught Covid and was feeling better and the dam thing has got me again.

Well done Eddie as more heat retained means more power for longer . Love the nice and tidy engine bay|B

85 and still going strong and heading for my first track day in 24 next week.

The generally accepted brake bleeding method is to start with the longest line (rear passenger side) and work thru to the shortest (front driver side) BUT make sure you check the reservoir and keep it topped up so it doesn't get too low. If you have multi piston calipers bleed the inner side...

I see that you drive a Beamer and have a grandson that drives one and had given a few tips / lessons when he was getting his mandatory 100 hours of supervised driving as a L plate learner driver prior to getting his test. Told him never to copy Dom from the Fast and Furious movies as that is...

Thought that it is time to wish one and all seasons greetings along with a happy new year to follow.

Good to see you back on the job tinkering away with your enviable skill set and your obsession with lightening everything. Hopefully I will live long enough to see the worlds fastest and lightest Lotus set new records.

IMO if you are intending to increase the power of a turbo powered vehicle then you must do as much research as you can before adding more boost as that can dramatically increase the dynamic compression rate. IF you want a trouble free experience then forged pistons and rods is the way to go...

IMO the existing injectors need to be cleaned and flow tested and then get a base line tune on a dyno to find out the % of they are flowing @ WOT and it should be no more than 85% IF it is close to that and you intend to wind up the boost pressure then higher flowing injectors is the first thing...

I am looking forward to being able to have another year enjoying driving my FN2 at track days and closed road events even though many would say that at my age I should be playing bowls or bingo like so many around my age. But I am in good health workout at my gym 3-5 days a week starting with a...

I am a late convert to a Honda CTR but came from many years of turbo RWD and I know it's a bit late BUT I would never contemplated pumping 38 psi into a stock bottom end and expect it to last without upgrading to forged rods and pistons . The Honda K series is also an open deck and IMO needs a...

Don't know if changing wheel diameter and fitting higher aspect tyres to help soften the ride to keep the rolling diameter the same will cause any lights to show on the dash but I would enquire at a dealership OR do a basic google search before making any change from stock. PS don't forget to...

I had them recommended to me by a specialist brake supplier and was pleased with their consistent level of grip / bite from cold as well as many hot laps on the track. They are not a sudden grabby pad and are easy to modulate hot or cold and have little dust. I have not noticed any deterioration...

Am on a tight budget so can't afford or justify buying the track day favorite Yokohama's so thought that I would try the Sailun RO1 semi slicks that are a very close tread design as the previous Yokohama semi slick and was impressed with their grip that remained constant over the 20 minute...

Hi Eddie here are heaps of pics from my latest track day at Queensland Raceway last week . https://www.mtrimages.com/p80140643

Hi Eddy one only pic but you can scroll thru to see all of the different cars. https://www.chimages.com/-/galleries/leyburn-sprints-2023/day-2/-/medias/ceacde73-ef9a-46d7-9f94-379c1447b1dd

Competed in the largest historic street sprint event in Australia at Leyburn held over 2 days and there were an estimated 8,000 spectators or more and was in what is called the invited <2000cc NA class that had 10 competitors that included unregistered track cars and was pipped for 3rd place on...

Hi Eddie your Pug is coming along nicely |B

If you want more go then IMO you need to trade it in and buy a N spec.

Hello and welcome :) I am not familiar with your car but as a general rule the cooler the air is the more power an engine will make so IF you can mount a larger intercooler in the available space then go for it. NOTE larger IC surface area is more efficient at reducing inlet air...

WOT = Wide Open Throttle or foot flat on the floor or pedal to the metal. DC = Duty Cycle of the injectors. For example if you have say 1000cc injectors that is how much fuel CLEAN injectors will flow @ WOT so for safety it is generally considered that the maximum amount that a 1000cc...

Hello and welcome |B I raced a turbo car for 20 plus years in club events and from experience learned a few things. 1 The injector WOT maximum DC should ideally be around 80% 2 DO NOT set the tune for max power as it will be on the verge of detonation. Set it for RELIABILITY in all...

Hello and welcome |B As you can see I drive and track a 2011 FN2 Civic Type R, so what model Honda are you working on and your plans for it please? Are Hondas popular in your country ?

Hello and welcome from a banana bender :) Aussies will understand that. I am not a Ford man but for starters you may want to consider the following mods. 1 Watts link for for rear diff housing . 2 Panhard bar for the rear axle ( not as good as the Watts link but still much better than doing...
