- Yes track days are fun! With that fun comes a little extra maintenance so today we are going back to Pristine Parts in Fremont California to pick up my brake rotor upgrade and some new track brake pads. I've also got a brief overview of some sick Alcantara interior mods for the FK8 Type R work done by Sweidit in Southern California.

Nice Car! keep posting videos
Thank you!
E85 upgrade nice. Need a 17 min video of you doing pulls with ethanol. My fav video of yours is when you did pulls with the ktuner, gives a great sense of speed from a viewer standpoint which is difficult to pull off. That's why it's my favorite and I revisit it often!
CRV_Stormtrooper video coming. It's turned into quite the project getting a proper video together. It will be worth the wait info wise. Thank you for the support!
18in rims look good on the R, everyone is putting them on, but everyone is also throwing off their suspension when lowering down to that size rim especially when taking it to the track. Makes me think if that’s part of the reason Why FlyingGato totaled his. But I’m no expert, it’s just a thought. Awesome video and really like those brake upgrades.
Antonio Aguilar thank you! And I hear what you are saying about messing with the suspension. I had the same thought before lowering my car but Swift really does their homework before making springs for a car AND almost every track guy are running these springs including people who are on actual race teams so they work. Reason why flyingato crashed is because he was on a bumpy part of the track and came into the corner a little too hot.
Ay i finally got my Type R 2018 last week, love your channel so far
Jimmy Jay grats on the new ride brother and welcome!
geweldige wagen
Luc Rosmeulen Danke
Looks nice!
Oh yea nice interior upgrades. Small changes but definitely enhances the interior
It really does dress up the interior nicely. Thanks for watching!
Damn Michael you've created an absolute BEAST!!! Love it brotha; now go kick some Porsche azzzzz on the track!
KG_ONE R well depending I the driver and the Porsche I already do! 😂
Sweet build. Thanks for the vid. Strut bars next? I just installed mine.. Looks good lol. Right now my type r is a weekend car... Looking to track it in. The future. Take care.
I really like the balance of the vehicle right now. Going with a front strut tower brace will encourage more understeer which is not what I would want. Adding a rear strut bar would throw the balance off without also changing out the struts imo which I'm definitely not ready to do at this point.
Lovely car dude but you need to swap your discs left to right. They have directional cooling vanes and they are the wrong way round like that. This will hamper the disc cooling quite significantly!
Mr T yeah I discovered this when I was last on the track. Update on that coming soon.
Can you please post a link for the interior mods?
Appreciate the video i will be trying out the winmax pads next. Please give us a review after a few days or weeks. Would like to know if it makes more noise then stock and if breaks better then stock on regular daily driving
Definitely in the plans. I'll probably share my thoughts on the pads after my next track day.
Where did he get suede gauge cluster cover?
@Sweidit on Instagram or Facebook Message them
Exact interior mods I want to do to my Type R
Derek Boudoucies it's so worth it.
it looks like drews rotors were installed the wrong way as well
Luis Cheong yeah they were
Down shifting helps save breaks, wounded if the ref match feature on the Type R is making people use the brakes more.
The rev match system in the CTR works great and yes while I agree that down shifting does help slow the car down, in a track environment the main reason for the down shift and rev matching is to keep the car within the best part of the power band AND NOT to disrupt the balance mid turn during a downshift. In other words, saving your brakes by downshifting is a fringe benefit rather than the reason why you do it.
I'd rather spend money on brake pads rather than clutch and transmission parts.
jaidee1 both can be great upgrades depending on what you need. The sick clutch is holding up fine and the car already had an lsd so no need for tranny upgrades
did you upgrade to a flexfuel?? looks nice bro!!seem's like you gonna be using the ctr alot on track..
loony hap shhhhhh 😂 like I said! More info coming!
i like the tow hook where did you get it?
EVS tow hook adapter with Cusco Tow hook from Evasive Motorsports
Flexfuel?
DJ anything is possible 😉
Hey bro ! Would this be a good setup for daily driving your type r ?
Billy Sabillon I daily mine always have from day one. Works great!
Bro are the giros lighter or heavier???
corone2018 The Girodiscs are lighter by 3lbs each.
@@GridZilla do you know of any lighter disk that will fit thr type r fk8 .
corone2018 there are lighter discs out there but they won't last long at all. If you are trying to save weight do it with your wheel set up.
True , what wheel set up you recomend for maximum unsprung weight and at the same time help me with better handling ??
@@corone2018 Hard to do better than what I'm currently running. Volk TE37 Saga Time Attacks 18X9.5 its basically an 18lbs wheel. You can do slightly better with the CE28's. Those will come in at 17lbs. Titan 7 wheels are a great alternative coming in at around 19lbs but 30% less expensive than the Volks
We all wish we had baller money like that to spend $1000 on rotors lol. My R gets parts like once every 6 months lol.
Code FK8 perils of track cars. You go through stuff quicker😬
@@GridZilla for sure, but man is that stuff expensive. But if you have the money, then it's not a worry. Liking the content man, congrats on your build
Code FK8 thanks brotha. Spoiler alert brakes get a slight upgrade later in the build. Keep watching😂
Very nice, Mike! What's the doctor's (red CTR) instagram???
