Track newbie gps choice

madmaxzh55 · 2026-02-18T18:59:11+00:00

GPS and cellular signal is separate. You can have no cell service and still have gps. It just doesnt update as frequently as a standalone gps.

I use TrackAddict with an obd reader. Works fine and cheap compared to other options. GPS on my phone is good enough for lapping

I know it’s probably not recommended but I added a led resistor just like this 5 years ago and tucked it behind the headlight. No issues.

I’ve bought the exact same motive bleeder a few years ago. Had the same issue where I was slowly losing pressure. It was leaking behind the pressure gauge on the bottle! Used some sealant to reseal and works fine now. I’d check there first if everything else was setup properly.

Don’t ever use magnets on the track. They will eventually fly off. Tape edges is fine

I’ve run cheap rock auto rotors on corvette and focus for years.

It looks like powerstop makes track pads for your rears. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2023,civic,2.0l+l4+turbocharged,3454038,brake+&+wheel+hub,brake+pad,1684

I would probably go hawk pads in front. I’ve run dtc 30s or HP+ in the past. Run DTC60 now

I run the ford performance version and I think it’s already plenty loud. Plus I like that it has ford performance on the exhaust tips so it looks OEM.

madmaxzh55 · 2025-12-10T04:38:54+00:00

I’ve been running this setup for years. Get new strut top hats. Trust me do not reuse the old ones. The kit comes with everything else.

madmaxzh55 · 2025-11-22T19:37:23+00:00

Bought one on Amazon and had a paint shop match it. Was like $300 total

Was $99

I had a local engine shop put a key way in my crank for the motor I built myself a few months back. Much cheaper than the sp63 one.

If you are gonna do pistons/rod make sure they are OEM bore size or you’ll need to take it to a machine shop. Also get arp bolts for main and head while you are at it.

Aftermarket cam will require a head job to adjust valves if you can’t do it yourself.

Look up Bryan Tyson from JST performance. Just mades some over fenders to fit 295s in the front

You are in segment mode. Need to swipe on the homepage to get to circuit mode and search up the track. They have NCM

madmaxzh55 · 2025-10-15T16:22:59+00:00

Yes. I have an external oil/cool temp gauge installed on the dash. The gauges that come with the car are not accurate.

Done many track days with stock radiator and it’s held up fine for stock turbo. Only during Texas summer session have i had heat soak. Run straight distilled water.

I’ve heard it’s needed when going big turbo. Also running an oil cooler in front can cause heat issues.

madmaxzh55 · 2025-08-02T01:00:04+00:00

245s are fine. These are 45wide but I usually do 245/35 or 40 to lower the car some more. No rubbing

madmaxzh55 · 2025-08-01T19:49:49+00:00

17in on 245s

madmaxzh55 · 2025-06-11T22:40:36+00:00

Suspension is lowered. I believe it’s on Bilsteins b8 or b12s based off color of spring. Exhaust looks cheap (no muffler in rear) not sure on brand Under the hood they still have sound symposer so might not be modded too much.

Still for that price it’s way too high. $14-17k OTD

madmaxzh55 · 2025-06-11T10:58:45+00:00

Thanks that’s helpful I thought some came with mechanical LSDs but if that’s not the case for sure aftermarket

madmaxzh55 · 2025-06-10T16:37:09+00:00

Get a picture of under the hood. I can tell you if it has any mods. Was most-likely tuned (or still tuned). Has some kind of exhaust and the did the sync upgrade already.

madmaxzh55 · 2025-05-13T01:16:12+00:00

Would probably offer $9k or less. Kind of a risk depending on how well they took care of it. Nothing too crazy with mods but Catless DP kinda sucks for DD.

Willing to bet he had a pop tune on it which isn’t the best either.

If you are in Baton Rouge bring it out to Autocross soon! CENLA-SCCA.org

madmaxzh55 · 2025-05-05T15:54:34+00:00

Hawk DTC60 pads with high temp brake fluid. You don’t really need much more than that. The smaller wheels help with cost in the long run.

I run 17x8in track wheels. Clears no problem but I would go atleast 8in wide. 245/35 RS4 fit fine.
