@jamesgunnels7113 i think i definitely take it for granted! There is always lots for sale here in BC, priced anywhere as cheap as 3500 for a clapped coupe, and up to about 15,000 for a nice sedan. So theres options which is nice

@@banjoboards861 big RIP to the FB6, she was a good car

@gizmosfere thanks man! Thats wild pricing there. Ive low key been looking to buy a hail damaged Si for years, haha Theres some science shit thats beyond my understanding, but the dimples on a golf ball actually make it fly faster. So ive always wanted to run a dimpled out Si in autocross stock class to see if someone would protest it lmao

Congrats on the new car, seems like it’ll be a good one. Pretty amazing that it came with the hfp kit. I finally ended up picking up a CSX and it’s only got 150k if you can believe it. Nice to be an 8th gen boy again

@robbyduguay thanks man! Awesome find on the csx, what color did you get?

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 it’s Royal Blue Pearl, same as the 2006 I had ages ago. The nostalgia got me. The paint is absolutely wrecked though (even beyond the typical clear coat issues), so that’s first on the list

@Jaydendierksss think of the autocross as practice, nobody shows up and wins on their first event, it will take a few to get the hang of it. Try and glean whatever you can from faster drivers with a similar car, whether that be asking them questions or watching how they do things As far as the car, just make sure your brakes n tires are good, battery is strapped down and take out loose/excess items. Good luck! Im sure you will enjoy it

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 thank you I really do appreciate it!

@jonmcclane7433 no worries! Its an invidia q300 catback and skunk2 header combo, probably the most mild noise wise for a catless setup With the yonaka, you would probably wanna add a highflow cat or maybe a resonator just to quiet it down with a header

@@banjoboards861 get that thing tuned!

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 im trying man but flashpro is expensive :/ hoping i can find a used one locally for a good price

@banjoboards861 sell those advans, haha

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 lmao i am actually, hoping to get a good amount for them then i'll be swithcing to RPF1s and a flashpro

@@banjoboards861 solid plan!

@@gizmosfere good to know that they are both headaches to install, where does the coolant overflow go with the hybrid?

The hybrid has a battery relocate bracket that puts it below the intake. The coolant overflow clips into the battery relocate tray. That part is easy just have to trim the oem hose a little.

@gizmosfere ahh ok, that's not as bad. On the skunk2, the bottle is buried beneath the battery and bracket

That does sound like a headache

@banjoboards861 thanks! Did you pick up TL-S brembos? Make sure you get real tires, no sense in having brembos if you can't put the friction to the road

if youre on a basemap get a real tune which will def help

@@banjoboards861 on a real tune! Engine is healthy and has refreshed everything. Which is why its so strange and i cant fix it

@@repingers9777 i would consult your tuner (or get a new one) I had my fg2 tuned on 91 and no knocks are present

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 was yoshtuned and we tried to fix it but only got worse and its a pretty conservative tune too.

@repingers9777 probably need to take more timing out, or try and source better fuel

@wolfparty4234 this event was with OPDA in kelowna BC

@@yukonstriker1703 U70a, rear lower. I modified the upper pasenger side mount to be mildly stiffer

Kevin, at evolution auto out of Vancouver is tuning it for me. He comes very highly recommended here locally. I drove my buddies white FA5 that was tuned by him and it felt great (the one from the junkyard and touge video)

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 ah I see, that’s a sick ass build and that car was cast

@banjoboards861 that's awesome! Very similar Yeah flashpro is pricey, i was lucky enough to get mine for 350$ CAD

Hondata base tunes are just that, base. Not meant to to used for any amount of time. You'll run lean which enables knock. Not ideal..

@yukonstriker1703 car is in the process of an etune as we speak, the basemap certainly had some detonation

@Shaqtis we dont have to do safety's in BC Just need inspections when buying an out of province vehicle, or when going from salvage title to rebuild, like in my case

BS. I'm in Ontario. Only reason for the I-pads is to protect both the Tech and Dealership from Bs fraud raised by unreasonable customers

@@yukonstriker1703 I'm just saying what the mechanic at the shop beside my house told me. Makes sense to me they'd introduce yearly safeties after getting rid of the revenue of the stickers yearly.. I hope they don't, but it's what I heard is coming.

@@Shaqtis Read my reply again... Any 'safety certificate' expires in 30 days here in Ontario.. Advise from your 'next door neighbor' is bs Plate 'stickers' were eliminated.. You 'Heard' alot of BS from your neighbor mechanic. All good. I keep my neighbours in check and don't believe anything I hear and half I see. 🤙

@@yukonstriker1703 yeah once the safety is written you have 30 days to bring it to the mto or it expires… the safety is good until the car changes hands and the new owner needs to safety it again.. we know this.. what I’m saying is soon the rumour is they might make yearly safeties on your vehicle mandatory.. understand? Reading is hard I get it.

@@tigerrider6711 i would love to learn, just scared to mess up a motor, haha

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 it’s very well documented what works on these motors. Thanks to the knowledge shared by tuners online. The base maps on Hondata are awful I suspect many are driving around knocking for years without knowing. Msg me if you want some resources

@thekreativeculture9642 Thanks for checkin out the channel! Yeah, the internet mostly favors 8th gens, but honestly, for no real reason other than it revs higher lol From a stictly autocross standpoint though, (stock class) i do prefer an 8th gen. The 9th gens are sprung a bit softer and have a bit softer sway bar's, which in turn makes the 8th gen feel a bit sharper. The other thing that hurts the 9th gen a bit for autocross is their 2nd gear top speed, its down 4mph or so from the 8th, which can hurt on larger courses I enjoy autocrossing both my 8th and 9th, but at the end of the day i pick 8th for autocross and 9th for daily driving

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 ah ok gotcha. Yeah 9th gens do make for good dailys

Hood/fender/bumper was 1200 CAD. But it was also structurally inspected, im not sure how much of the 1200 that was

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 Gotcha, thank you!

Because the headlights i bought are 09 to 11..

​​@@robracesandrebuilds6499Oh, thought you mentioned you bought '06-'08 OEM. My bad. I prefer the '06-08 headlights Prefer the '06-08 grille also. Hate the refresh honeycomb

No i dont so

Great movie

@@robracesandrebuilds6499yeah! I actually only just saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Hey so anyway what do you do for headlight PPF? Send it off somewhere, DIY, what product do you like etc?

I have a friend that does it for me, iirc he uses a 3M product. It usually costs 120$ ish

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 cool, thanks 👍

lol nvm

@@victorreynoso8289 lots of them in junkyards, just dont get a grubby one like i did, lol

I love the kouki's on silver, but i agree zenki are nice. I went to zenki's on my white 9th gen because i preferred the look Advan make beautiful wheels

Also I noticed your comment about 06 without red stitch on the boot, 06 did have the red stitch on the boot but not the knob, only know this cuz of my 06. We got the same cars just youre Canadian spec

DO IT

@@robracesandrebuilds6499 im tryin man, tires and brakes are expensive

@banjoboards861 i hear yea! Check out dynamic friction track day pads on rockauto, they are very affordable And sailun makes a 180tw track tires thats also quite affordable

Good choice on the CSX I test drove a type S version once but never ended up buying it, got a grey FA5 instead at the time

Thank you for the kind words. Glad to be back 😎

I've run 2 small lot events on the car with the new setup ( a little behind on editing, lol) The car feels great, better than last year for sure. The front just feels more willing to turn with the added spring rate of the packer. Of course, part of that could be the added rear rate of the new bar, too. I had a fellow FA5 HS competitor co-drive it last night, and he said it feels much much better than his car. He's also on the 24mm bar, but 225s squared As far as the rear packer, i dont think it did much, i went pretty mild. I think after your suggestion of adding more rear toe, the car got better Ripping the rear of the car is scary, but it seems pretty few and far between. The rear packer would probably help that a bit too honestly, if its reducing up travel, the car shouldn't be on the bar quite as hard

@robracesandrebuilds6499 Good to hear. I might try to change the rear bar before Bristol tour. I also plan to set a few different toe settings by marking the adjuster with a paint marker so I can change it on the fly at events. I am curious if you have done anymore tire pressure tuning. I'm running konis all around and square 225 stones this year. I feel like I have had less luck trying to find a rear pressure that works for me. We don't get a lot of runs here to test things unfortunately 😕

@jamesgunnels7113 i should test the bars back to back, the price of the 24mm is a bit hard to justify. But i went and changed too many things at once like usual 😂 Yeah, thats a great idea for the rear toe. Ive considered doing that too, but ultimately.. im too lazy to change it at events, haha I have stuck to my tried and true, 37F 45R psi I think with the carcass of the stone and the fact that you're more square on the rim, you could likely run a bit lower I've been pressured at the last couple of events by a 2013 GTI, new to HS last year i believe. With 7.5" wheels, DSG, and all the torque he's been a stuggle to beat. Which has in turn, made me less willing to make weird changes for testing purposes, haha

I'm glad you enjoy the content For aftermarket parts, i usually order from tdotperformance or teknotik in Ontario. Tdot is usually free shipping, and if your order on a long weekend its generally 10% off For stock type replacement stuff i order from lordco or Rockauto
