second time at this track, first time was 8 years ago when I crashed my s2000 in turn 4 so I was nervous coming back
2023 Civic Type R
Eibach Sportline Springs
Eibach Rear Sway Bar
Whiteline Front Balljoints
Still has the original wheels/tires, brake pads/fluid/lines so I was mindful with the really thin sidewalls.
1:48.0 was the best I could do at the end of the day with letting off for a Porsche to pass and blowing a few key corners! Car has an easy low high 46 as is, in a morning session now that I know what the car is capable of. Which is wild for a pretty stock Honda Civic
Overall I couldn’t believe how good this car is, high speed and low speed rotation is good, braking power is great with a really good ABS system, diff works freakishly good. Even with the 300tw tires and original pads was very confidence inspiring and easy to drive. With the car in “R” more and TCS off it does allow some slip angle which is nice. All and all I’m more in love with this car than I already was.
