    New Toyota..... Hachiroku

    There were 3 of these at the track last time I went.... one was quicker than me, 2 were slower. I have a very light tuned EK9. The quicker 86 was tuned, somewhat, but I am not sure exactly how.... They are maaaaassive in Japan right now! Every magazine is full of stories on them, features, new...

    FEEL's Honda Twincam

    I remember it looking rad, on the cover of Turbo or Honda Tuning, one of those mags from USA back in like 1999. It was an american civic with Feels kit.... ....but yeah it dated, hard. But who cares: it had its time! ha ha... Without the wing, and front bar, it would be kind of cool, even now...

    Spoon sw388...but.....won't fit!! help needed....

    Not sure why it has these hubs....but I wouldn't bother changing back to original. I am not fussed about it. Ok I will try the spacers and studs, and report back on the results!

    Spoon sw388...but.....won't fit!! help needed....

    Hi guys. I have been running TE37 Rays 16x7 wheels / Spoon calipers / stock honda rotors on my EK9 for a while now, plenty of clearance. I just scored some 15 x 6.5 +45 offset wheels, black anodized, great condition in 4 x 114.3 pattern. Couldn't have been happier, because I really wanted...

    Toyo r1r very good track tyres

    Sorry, Lee. S Tyres is what 'semi slick' or 'R compound' are called in Japan. R888, 03g, re11s, re55s, a048, a050, etc...

    Toyo r1r very good track tyres

    I considered them before deciding that since the other guys at the track are all using S tyres, I want to, as well. I am going from Advan AD07s to probably A050, depending on availability before April 11: my next track day. I was considered the 888s, but after reading a lot of opinions, and...

    Tyre Pressure for Track

    I usually run about 30...and have had reasonable success with it. This is about what the guys at the track recommend to me. Usually I ask other Civic racers, or mechanics who work at tuning shops and do a lot of track days.....I guess there are many opinions and situations, though....

    Rate your suspension set up

    Make - Tein Model - Type FLEX Anti roll bars - stock EK9 JDM Type R Comfort - Very firm, I guess. That is how I like it...not comfortable at all, really. Handling - Great. No complaints! Price - About $2000 USD I think. Positives - Feels like a track setup, not a 'sports' setup...

    Post your planned Track Day dates here.........

    Just had my best track day ever..... Suzuka on the 29th of Feb....I was in my EK9 for the first time at Suzuka. We ran on the full F1 course, and I clocked a series of 2 46 and 2 47 laps....which is pretty good for me, at least. There were 3 other Civics...a turbo ek4, and 2 EGs....they all ran...

    swap or rebuild?

    What engine do you have now? I see you are in Cali, so I guess you do not have an EK9 Type R (?)..... If so, then maybe swap in a B16A ....

    my ek9 :)

    Cool car, mate. Love the S2000 cluster. Very cool, must have been hard work getting it to work, and look good at the same time! Is the engine going strong? Any plans to track it?

    Must be a long straight! So what is it like a fuel cut? Or running out of revs??

    Post your planned Track Day dates here.........

    Going to SUZUKA on the 29th of February. I will be really looking forward to this one.....and the advantage of Suzuka is, that I can practice on Gran Turismo 5 leading up to the day!
