FL5 Type R 1:37.25 Laptime Laguna Seca GridLife 2024
Not the overall FK8/FL5 Lap Record but not far off. So many changes on the car since the last time out. No Rev Match, can't see speed, can't see what gear I'm in, missing mods and down on power. Ok enough with the excuses lol. Enjoy the lap. :)

There was just no way to shorten this video. So here it is in all its glory. The 6 weeks leading up to this event were nothing short of Hell on earth. Anything that could happen, did happen. From re machining gears, to overnighting last minute parts, to frying a clutch just days before the event and missing most of the first day, I take you through all of it.

oh my the incident between the ioniq 5N and bmw
congratulation!!!! what an emotional experience but in the end it was all worth it. im sure this experience brought so much adrenaline/emotions at the end.
im watching the whole thing & not skipping adds
I knew this vlog will be fire with all the stuff he went through!
LETSSSS GGGOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I really feel for you man. I have been watching you for a long time. But, we have to be honest with ourselves, the Type R as track capable as it may be, is simply not meant to be a track car. Things are going to break constantly. I do want to say that I think you are a damn good driver and if you love tracking the type R so much, maybe its time for you to just suck it up and buy a TCR. The way those things are built it would be really hard for you to break anything on it.
My issues with the Type R have t been because things were breaking. It’s been because no one has modded the FL5 this far for track use so there were major growing pains. Yea the clutch blew but that wasn’t because Type R clutches are prone to breaking. I just put more power through it than the stock clutch can handle. The lack of rev match and inability to see speed is from the new gearset. No one has a plug in module for the FL5 to correct for that yet because no one has put Graf gears in an FL5 yet. Dozens of other examples just like that. And at the end of the day, anyone can go buy a race car. The point is to mod a street car and push it to its limits because that’s what most of us own are street cars AND I can still put my baby seats in the car and take it grocery shopping
Honda quality coming in clutch…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅
😅
🤦♂️

Good shit man! Second year checking out gridlife at Laguna Seca and its been amazing! When you were saying about overheating, what temperatures does the car hit before getting any limp mode or issues?
It never hits limp mode but it will pull some power. I’d say when it’s 300F on the OEM temp reading for oil which isn’t accurate. The actual temp would be closer to 280F
@GridZilla I see! Thanks for the update. It does get pretty high, it'd be nice to stay around 250F max if possible.
@@in54ne82 most people will never see over 250F with this system. The more power you run the hotter it gets. Most people tune their cars to 360-400 whp. I’m at 470whp pushing the car to its limits and the cooling system is still performing well
Did you remove the head for the head stud upgrade and resurface Or did you just change one head stud at a time.
One at a time method
Way to stay with it my man. Proud of you! Well deserved. 🎉
Thanks brother 🙏🏽
I couldn’t do that time with a premade rollercoaster around Laguna!
🤣
Definitely car as a lot more but definitely need to get that heel toe technique down. Would shave sometime off. Need more power too. But over great experience.
Totally agree
That's pretty damn good!
Thank you JP!
Congrats Michael - that was truly an emotional roller-coaster. I respect your passion and resilience through adversity. Thanks for the content and keep pushing 💪
Thanks brother 🙏🏽
Wow the amount of traffic you had was crazy. Is that normal for a GL event? Nice podium!
Not Normal but since I wasn’t around for any of the practice rounds they didn’t have a reference point laptime to grid me by. So I was in the back fighting through traffic
Good lap! Can save a bit of tire and time in the corkscrew and the lasts sector! Turn 4 looked damn near perfect! When the R is ready with the mods you have waiting, you will be faster for sure! Keep pushing and keep recording!
And.. Yokohama A052 +1 size on track as indicated and more soft compound push baby push
Class is limited to 285 which is what I had 😁
@@GridZilla yes but Yokohama A052? 285 Yoko are 300 on Road It Is different
@@lucatronconi3558 RE71RS run a bit big as well. I used to run A052 all the time. Love that tire
for improve the lap time use the aim solo led green or Red fir +- of the led are green push Is the led are Red stop the lap and maintain the car...Is the best way for have immediate performance
Interesting… wasn’t even aware that was a thing
@@GridZilla with RS3 software you can used led in order to light +-0,10 any Sector for push or abort the lap
@@lucatronconi3558 nice
congrats on the podium. ive been watching your build on both your supra and FL5 since I picked up my FL5 and my mods have been based on your build thanks for detailed documentation of your build. again congrats it was well deserved. I would love to hear the details of why the clutch went out in a short or in the next video.
Thanks bro…. Yeah I’ll have another video kinda summarizing a few things including the cooling system
What kinda power you running bro? Love that yellow. Reminds me of my manual 2002 yellow Mazda Protege 5 sport wagon with an intake exhaust upgrade.

@@KT-ty3uh yeah Pepo got that good good tune!
cheers! question, first lap on video the temps are sky rocketing ( 258F ECT 🥵) however the temps seem to be controlled the other laps on video, any particular reason for this?
@@kuckimonster2 find a bubble in the coolant 😬. Addressed it and temps got better
You were talking about mechanical items on the car and idk if I missed it but did you break in the clutch? If not it surely is now... Congrats. Just turn in later into the corkscrew and track out all the way out of turn 10 and "you'll run nines..."
@@wilsonyang2209 yup. Fried the rich two days before the event because we couldn’t tune boost by gear like normal because the ecu could see what gear I was in
@@GridZillaplz reread my comment as I just edited it. Congrats again.
@@wilsonyang2209 Thank you
@@wilsonyang2209 The Break in for the clutch was the drive to the track approx 180 miles
Followed along on IG and what a wild ride it was. Congrats on a well deserved podium!
@@FreshFL5 🙏🏽💜
Fk8 and FL5 have water to oil transmision cooler. Soooo if you overheating you heating also oil in transmision.... Fk2 have air radiator for transmision oil.
@@maciejkostecki175 Precisely. That’s why we divorced the transmission from the oil and water cooling 😈
Love the wrap, if only by decision if you decide to paint the wheels. Id say magnesium blue. Btw congratulations, as an type R owner. Thanks for making us proud. Never give up!!

An epic watch mate - really glad it came together (as much as it could). Noticed for podium sprint you started going to 2nd gear for the final corner and it seemed to help your drive out onto the straight as well! Awesome to see - get that record and looking forward to a break down on the cooling package and if it can be retrofitted to an FK8.
@@gnexia92 yeah I’ve I figured out what gear was ideal the time dropped a lot
Michael this was a monumental achievement given all that you had to go through to make it to Sunday. I’m so happy for you, and the success you’re finding through the cars you’re building and driving. It was also fantastic to see your family get the opportunity to witness your amazing finish! Congratulations brother, enjoy this; excited to see what’s next!

Hey bro, my little bro and I saw you this weekend at Gridlife! Love the car! What would your recommend for a track car the mk5 Supra or the newer civic type r? Currently in the market but not sure which to purchase
Really depends. If it’s your only car then Type R hands down. If you are going to spend $10k+ in the right mods, then Supra. If you’re going to mod but less than $10k then Type R. The Type R is a better track car out of the box. You have to spend about $10k on the Supra to get a solid track car
That yellow wrap is awesome .......... great vid!
Thank you!
Watching this vid makes all my problems seem so much smaller. 😅. Thank you sir.
We all have our struggle bro. Whatever yours are you too can get past it 👊🏽
I was following this journey on your ig! I'm so happy everything worked out, I'm sure a lot of us were rooting for you!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Be thankful for First world problems 😅
For sure but there were other personal struggles in the mix that had nothing to do with the car as well.
what temp is that above 300 lol
seeing that live wouldve sketched me out for sure
Oil temp but that’s the estimated temp from the car. Other people with an actual temp probe are seeing a 20F+ lower number with a real Oil temp gauge compared to the OEM estimated temp
Amazing journey, so raw and real! Congratulations! ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m sure that this on your radar already Michael but supposedly the recent Honda Performance mods applied to the Acura Type S prototype will also be available in some other form for the FL5 platform as well. I’m specifically referring to the new front clip that houses the dual oil coolers…let alone the other options that reduced the car’s weight by 200lbs. Forgive me if your current oil cooler solution is superior aftermarket wise to Honda’s future option…heard you mention on your one video that testing your new system…results were positive…I just haven’t seen the video showing what your choice was. I’ll find it later…
The HRC Honda race cars use the exact same philosophy applied to my current cooling system 😁 I’ll do a full video break down
Cool! Thanks for the quick response. You’re usually on top of the latest and greatest options CTR wise.👍😁
@@justwingingit1 I try to be. I’m here to push us all forward if I can!
I just went through this myself, just before a event in Australia called honda nationals. Problems kept arising with me getting there that were out of my control. Anyhow, long story short, I made it.. then i crashed the car. That was God telling me don't go but i didn't listen, however I am alive and thats the main thing, also, for how hard the crash was , the damage is actually pretty minimal! Again, thank god for that.
Cars bro… we love em but they’re a pain sometimes lol
