    Clockwise motion oil pressure

    I have the Clockwise Motion and overfill, I dont have a pressure gauge but I ran Dunlop Direzza 03G tyres and it never dropped out of Vtec. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Clockwise motion oil pressure

    It's usually a case of overfilling, Civic Cup and most people who track will fill the oil to the twist on the dipstick myself included. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Regular Garage, Clutch Change?

    You'll probably find specialists will price a clutch job cheaper than your typical garage as they know the process. It's a pretty shit job to be honest removing the box on these. Subframe has to come off, inlet support bracket needs removing, your knock sensor will probably take a whack. Only...

    Advice Please!

    I know the car was in good hands, the first owner used Area Motorsport and gave them an open cheque book to do the work and carry out maintenance. I know Indi personally and it was an extremely well looked after and maintained car. It has been used on track but if that doesn't bother you I'd...

    Advice Please!

    The car was first imported with 'Midnight' seems he's not on the forum anymore. If you search 'Midnight' in the posts section you'll find his lengthy build thread on the car. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Advice on Induction & Exhaust components

    The AFR's will be out 100%, it's one of those where no one knows the damage it's doing without having the AFR's checked properly. I've always seen it as if you're going to the effort of removing the cat then you may as well get the most benefit and have the car mapped. The difference in...

    Who runs a oil cooler on a dc5?

    Yes, you see the pipes coming off the filter housing then to the water pump housing, that's the oem cooler system. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Who runs a oil cooler on a dc5?

    They're not even really needed on track. The stock oil cooler does a good job. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Suspension geometry/design

    "The instant center is an imaginary point that is created by drawing a line from the upper a-arm ball joint through the a-arm pivot where it is intersected by an imaginary line that extends from the lower ball joint through the inner control arm pivot. Where the two imaginary lines intersect is...

    Suspension geometry/design

    From my understanding, if the tie rod mounting is flat (along with the steering arms) then your IC lines dont meet up. As the suspension moves these lines change as the LCA moves in line with the tie rod. That's the relationship you're looking for. Your LCA angle should not be flat just like...

    Suspension geometry/design

    The rack raiser can be used in certain situations but very likely it'll be causing issues more than fixing them. Unless it was fitted while measuring the geometry. I'd say you'd need an alignment afterwards after removing. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

    Suspension geometry/design

    The EP3 uses the same steering rack placement and the strut uses the same pick up point so the issues occur on both platforms. I think the main issue is that Honda designed the front suspension to work in a narrow window. If you look at some of the links posted my Justin on the analysis of the...

    I think they're going to, their progress on the DC5 seems reallllly slow. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
