Like RSO said very few insurance carriers will cover an hpde, but when you talk to them make sure you say that there will be an instructer in your car and that it is NOT a timed event. My insurance company will cover HPDE's as long as they aren't timed. I personally would start out with the nsx...

If your at all worried check your brakes after every session. Especially make sure you don't see any cracks in your rotors

everyone else basically covered the street tire question. I would just make sure the pads you have in there now are made for track duty, and if they are have a decent amount of material left on them.

I would say your fine suspension and engine wise. Have you gotten the car aligned since you installed the new parts? As far as brakes i'm not sure what the WP-PRO are, but upgraded fluid, pads, and lines will give you solid braking on the track (assuming you pick a pad that is suited for the...

MAYBE if your civic was totally stripped out, had a fully tuned track suspension, and was running huge slicks it could outrun your nsx. Like 2slow mentioned, you have to be able to put that power down to use it effectively. I seriously doubt any fwd car could put 500hp down around a track.

It looks pretty cool, but i don't know if i would upgrade. I don't see anything listed there that blows my mind. I'm planning on getting rid of my powerbook G4 for a macbook pro, so it'll come on the new macbook.

I played GT5 prologue when i was in japan a couple weeks ago at the Japanese Motorsport Festival. I only could play for a few minutes, but i used the f430 at Suzuka. The physics seemed more realistic, especially braking induced oversteer. The thing that made me really happy was the sound. The...

Re: 2002 - 14k miles - Yellow/Black for $21k!!! My god, your car has the optional lightweight non-existent jdm front bumper! I'll take it!

The R888's look like sex. I wonder what the reviews will be like compared to the nt01, a048, etc.

On the road course it's all about power delivery and useable powerband. If you want to have 800whp that's fine, but if you make all your power between 6500 and 8000rpm you're going to have a tough time keeping yourself in the powerband (as well as keeping the tires from smoking). As everyone...

I did some research on cross-drilled rotors, this is what i came up with: From Wilwood's website: Quote: Q: Why are some rotors drilled or slotted? A: Rotors are drilled to reduce rotating weight, an issue near and dear to racers searching for ways to minimize unsprung weight. Drilling...

I agree that in most cases even the cheap coilovers improve performance. They give you the ability to corner balance the car, and they dampening adjustability (although there is argument as to how effective the dampening adjustments really are on the cheaper coilovers). The Ohlins i have on my...

There is a lot of debate over whether the cheaper coilovers are worth it or not compared to the higher end stuff. I personally feel like you bought a nice car, why would you put compromised parts on it? I have Ohlins coilovers on my car, so you know where i stand. Here's a post from another car...

Yea, it's a great platform for a track car. If you strip everything out you can get it under 3000lbs, and it's easy to pump 400whp+ out of it. Thanks! It's low mileage, less than 20,000, and if i returned it to stock i could probably get close to that private party. By the time i sell it...
