Re: Buying a JDM ITR questions

What do you think would be a fair asking price? It's really hard to value these cars. Would you say they're usually worth more or less than a stock USDM ITR?

Buying a JDM ITR questions

It appears you can't use a traditional CarFax check with the VIN since it doesn't exist in the system. The key things I'd want to know are:...

Re: Type R Expo 2020 Survey

I haven't "tracked" the car since getting it back (bedding pads, checking drivability, race belt/seat position), and I've got a modified nose and a different top mounted vented hood (wrt intake temps, as well as a larger throat turbo [7163 Borg Warner] w/cat delete & insulation of dow...

Re: FK8 CTR HPDE Thread

Went out in my last session on track with ~ 1/4 - 1/3rd of a tank of fuel, and a few laps in I'd thrown a check engine light with a couple of main dash display messages ( 1) and 2) below. Greg in the red CTR at Mid-Ohio was able to successfully reset the only trouble code of P0035 ... Turbo Charger...

Re: Update

The point of getting the CTR (in my case) was so I wouldn't need to do anything except add pads, high temp fluids, and normal 'HPDE' maintenance. This was wishful thinking. It's still a good car but Honda might have oversold it a bit :) After researching HPDE overheating issues and solutions, I've ...
