I rode in a GTR once and then an ACR Viper maybe two weeks later. Honestly, the ACR was more of a rush that the GTR because it was so raw. No traction control, no ABS, no torque-sensing AWD, just raw power and wide tires.

 

ordering jdp oe1 on friday along with window visors. i<3payday

 

quick question, im looking into full coilovers and was wondering how function form type 1's ride? or should i just get the 2's? or what other suggestions do you guys have? not trying to spend over a thousand

 

Has anyone used a 96-00 civic coupe or hatch exhaust on there DA9? Im curious as to any fitment issues you might have had going through exhaust tunnel and over the rear lca. Yes i know it exits on the opposite side. Any factual info would be great! Thanks
p.s. knowledge dont reply thanks!

 

I've had friends that rode on both coilovers, the type 1s ride good, the type IIs are supposed to ride really good, if you have the cash go for the type II's, but im sure if you pick up the type 1's you'll be satisfied

 

I have the type ones and the ride is very comfortable for a daily driver. The suspension is pretty stiff as well, so if the roads suck then its gonna be bumpy. Also if the railroad crossing suck your car is going to jump around. Im pretty sure other non dampening coils have this problem too but i cant really prove that because the type ones where my first coils.

I had a hard time deciding between the ones and twos, but someone said if its gonna be a DD just go with the ones (i was on a budget at that time) so unless you have the extra cash and like to have more options go with the twos.

 

He helped out for the first 2 laps, but once I learned the course and got used to the brakes I could've done without him.

HAHA! The SUV was full of people doing their discovery laps before they raced. The red Z06 Corvette that passed me was a professional driver on R-compound tires. I think I could've taken the Lambo...

He was having me brake early for sure. There was maybe one point where I got on the brakes 100% as hard as I could.

Paddle shifters were cooler than I expected. Only issues I could see would be that the GTR revs so fast through gears that you still might be exiting a turn when you want to shift and the paddles aren't the easiest things to hit when the wheel is turned.

I was super adrenaline high after I got off the track and was jittery for the whole hour drive back from Fontucky. It took two Chimay blues to calm me down.

HAHA. I'm used to driving a normal manual transmission car and using heel-toe to downshift. That way I'm ALWAYS braking before I downshift no matter what. Since downshifting was as easy as flipping a paddle, I kept downshifting before I could even hit the brakes.

Wipers add 50 horsepower in the straights.

 

Thanks homie

Nothing, it's all factory.

The Greddy SP2 that is on my car is really deep and pretty mellow

I'm asking $700 shipped. If you want a killer set-up, there's no question between this and a log manifold.

 

Nice video kyle, and lol at the instructer... he would of drove me crazy if i were there lol. The most expensive car i've ever driven is my friends maserati grand sport, i use to talk **** about the paddle shifting but when it's in a car with real power it's night and day. One day i'll hopefully get to drive a gtr

 

@ChaseIntegra

Really that's the sp2? Dang i thought it was the Rs*R exmag.

I heard the sp2's are pretty loud though. =[

 

especially if you got discovery lap(s). showed this to a friend and we agreed after the first two laps we would tell him to shut it and ride. (they have brake marker cones) then his only use would be to tell when ppl needed to pass.
maybe dumb q but wouldnt it be better to mount the paddle shift ON the wheel? then no matter turning or what you can click it.

 

thanks for your input. my car is slammed and i want the best ride possible and the type 1's arent dampers so i think im leaning towards the type 2's we will see though because money is always a variable.

 

Probably not. All of the cars are like that; Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin, etc. It's so you can't shift while turning and lose control or upset your balance. They make it so you can only turn so much while shifting.

 

kyle, that porsche around 7:40 crushed you!! that video was nice.

 

Awesome vid. I lol'd at "Jesus Christ duuude!!" 3:25

 

HAHA!

That wasn't a Porsche, it was a C5 Z06 Corvette with a professional driver wearing R-compound tires giving ride-alongs.

I didn't feel so bad getting whooped once I found that out.

 

nice video man your lucky! how fast did you get it up to?

 

i thought i heard the guy saying it was a porsche?

 

I didn't look at my speedometer even once, but I'm thinking I got up to 140mph on the straight.

Yeah, at first he said Porsche but he corrects himself. The white car that I passed was the only Porsche there.

The other cars there were the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Murcielago, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera 4S, and Aston Martin V8 Vantage (and the pro in the Z06).

 

 

Up for grabs genuine RHD DA6. Shipping from NZ might cost some $$$ tho.

 

hahaha Kyle your screaming was awesome!
That instructor didn't want to hear it though lol!

 

real nice car bro

 

I agree gorgeous.

I want a DARN bra lol !!!!!

 

Nice car, dude!

What kind of driver's seat is that?

HAHA, that's nothing compared to how psycho I used to get back in my street racing days. I didn't even use any curse words in the GTR. I used to scream and curse as I was breaking folks off in street drags.

****... MattyG2 has gone kart racing with me. I think one time I was in the zone putting down fast laps and his brother spun me out. I swear I went psycho and started yelling through my helmet in an instinctive rage. I've scared the **** out of people on the kart track plenty of times. Cars make me turn into this completely different (insane) person.

This would be the reason I don't trust myself to get another car. That GTR video is making me want to put some of the old videos of me having ADD in my DA on YouTube.
