Glad you enjoyed it, Stay tuned because we're going to change up the discussion portion with a podcast style panel of experts in 2025

@@DriversPaddock can't wait!!!!

I have one in my personal car. Check out any of my videos on the blue m2 competition time attack build. Thanks for watching! More Honda and Hyundai reviews coming soon 👀!

💯 that’s what this channel is really all about… the entire track driving experience including the actual track driving, the community and becoming a better driver. I’ll spend 24-48 hours before packing, prepping, checking the car over, waking up early, paying track fees… I want to drive and get as much seat time as possible. Afterall, if we aren’t having fun or if we all drove the same car… it would take away from the experience and community. Thanks for watching

We had an Audi RS3 LMS TCR but we sold it and now have an Endurance race car Audi TT. Locally, there was a spec Audi TCR Cup but we have since moved on from sprint racing (for now) to Endurance.

I hope you enjoy it for many years to come! Great car

Yes, It does have rev hang, not driver error

Come say hi if you ever see me. Love connecting with local subscribers

Funny you say that…. 😉

@DriversPaddock Type R is a nice car but personally not too impressed that the car with a 30hp advantage and 265 tires on 9.5 stock is barely faster than the car on 245/8. Would really really like to see this review. Your reviews are some of my favourite. Some of the best content out there

@@DriversPaddock I've been subscribed. I'm local to the GTA and have been out for a track day with the SPDA. Do you compete in OTA only? Or do you ever run lapping days with other groups? Also, just wondering about the point you made about throttle induced oversteer. I had believed that the EN actually rotates more than the type r. This is just from what I saw in track reviews by the Topher and in a savagegeese review (with Brit Casey). But the type r is actually more oversteer prone? Or are you saying that it's easier to modulate the oversteer without having to go fully on and off the pedal. IIRC, the EN only does brake torque vectoring with traction on. Traction full off will disable it (common tip to preserve pads). Maybe that gradual rear end rotation is the rear torque vectoring being active on the fl5?

I do OTA, CSCS, CTAC (now discontinued), LDRC Endurance Racing, CASC Sprints and next year - hopefully SPC and WRL. I Instruct with OTA, RASER Motorsports and will be with Sieya and JRP. Watch one more time when I talk about on throttle vs off throttle mechanics. I think you may be mixing up what I am saying. FWD cars do not have throttle induced oversteer, that's not possible if the rear wheels aren't driven. What I am saying is that off throttle, the EN rotates more easily and in tighter corners, even with traction control fully off, it does grab inside front wheel to help the car rotate and help the diff bind. That's where brake Torque vectoring and brake bias yaw control differ, they are different things. What I'm saying is that on power, if you need rotation, the EN you need to lift. The nose is not as eager to tuck in - this is true for ALL FWD cars EXCEPT the FL5 CTR or UNLESS there is some brake magic going on. The reason for this is that on power mechanics for FWD cars are such that, it will always pull the car straight. The CTR with its sophisticated front and rear brake grab allows throttle adjustability mid corner that the EN just doesn't have. The car knows that if you're slightly backing off the throttle, you want the nose in so it aids in this by grabbing rear brake to rotate the car.

I can see why!

I could be wrong… but we have met before right? 😅 Do I look familiar? Did you also have an fk8 and your wife and I are colleges ? 😂 Am I thinking of the right person? Nice build! Love it! Would love to review it 😮

@DriversPaddock Yup, that's me, Humza :) Been catching up on your videos since then 😄 I moved the shop out here to the East end as well, but didn't make any time for the track this year with how busy the expansion has been. Hope to be out more next year at GP and other tracks! We can definitely plan a track day where you can get seat time in both of our FK8's (my street build, and my friend & employee's gutted track build)

I would love that. Message me on Instagram and let’s connect. Subscribed to your channel as well, will catch up on those videos this week.

Very flat even to redline.

Amazing! Those that know, know. Hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Thanks for watching

Appreciate that 🙏

I hated Savagegeese's initial impression on FL5's R+ mode for having "too much rebound". Idk if they understood what "too much rebound" means. A blanket statement that can mean either, "too much bouncing caused by having insufficient rebound force" or "jarring bouncing, when rebound force is too high where the damper packed down". But through Jason's report, I think the R+ mode has too much rear compression damping Low to High Speed.

I’m getting a few questions on Instagram so I’ll add this here. The high speed compression damping is too high- it is over damped. In other words, it’s not compressing enough on curbs, bumps, anything with high piston speed. The rebound is under damped, in other words, it rebounds too quickly. So on high speed, you get a suspension that is resistant to compressing and when it does, it wants to spring back too quickly. On the low speed side, I find this acceptable and is actually the correct performance set up for an FF car. In an FF car, in regards to the on power mechanics, you don’t want the rear to squat. If it squats too much on power, the front wheels will have trouble putting down the power as you’re taking weight off the front axel. I’d say it’s about right, and I understand what the Honda engineers are trying to do. Also, as mentioned in the video, that will help the rear end rotate on entry and help with mid corner and exit as the driver gets on power. With our previous Audi TCR and Current Audi TT Endurance car, we have the high speed compression set to soak up all the bumps, but the low speed damping is high to achieve the best of both worlds, namely… 1. Keep the wheels on the ground over bumps and curbs, ideally keeping the tire on the ground and settling in one stroke. 2. For the rear to not compress a lot on power, keeping the weight on the front driven wheels. Thank you all for watching.

+R, VSA off I didn’t see a point in pedal dancing as I wanted to review and experience what the Honda engineers programmed and developed… and from the review… it’s amazing. Pedal dancing just makes the FL5 a FWD car with a helical style LSD, nothing special.

The car is incredibly stable but I don’t think it can... I did an early lift and partial throttle over crest, into full throttle… a very conservative, lower risk approach. I don’t get enough feedback from the r23 to send it 10/10ths and keep in mind, I got 3 laps total. The car did slightly grab the rear inside wheel, which suggests to me the car is generating some yaw already in 4. I will say… it might very well be possible on CRS or RE71RS on a perfect day.

You already know 😂

Glad you like them! I hope to go more in depth with a panel of 2-3 guys that I know, know their stuff. Stay tuned as the channel continues to grow and evolve.

@@bensnow4831 will be coming to the channel soon 😉

Yessss. Would love to hear your thoughts @driverspaddock

Former f1 track, Canadian tire Motorsports park Grand Prix track! Highest average speed of any track in North America.

@@DriversPaddock That is awesome. I am glad you enjoy every single min of it.

They made 40k fk8s, half of which went to north America, and most of them are still going at $30k+ usd

@@ShaiyanHossainyup! TypeR will maintain value, especially the ones that are well maintained. The N will not be so lucky.

No way dudes comparing TCR to regular track day/road cars you can buy lol. Type R better but more expensive, it’s factual

No its not really. Check out illwillem and his EN. ​@@30hours51

isnt lynk and co beating both Honda and Hyundai at this point lol

Its their cope for not being able to put dwb front suspension in a civic again, but they did a damn good job id say

It’s really clever. I should have expanded on that.

Horrible 0-60 times. Mark ups aren't worth the price of the car.

@davothegreat9990 Only simpletons buy cars based off 0-60 times alone

@anroopahl it's everything on the street. Just buy a mustang gt. Yote is 🤴

@@davothegreat9990 Between autocross and track days I do probably 24 events a year, who cares about the street.

@@anroopahl well, obviously, everyone else but you...🤣🤣

I don't think so this guy can drive any car fast AWD/FWD/RWD Jackie not so much the way I can explain it is Jackie is formula driver while Jason is a TCR driver

@@fkhothatchi I agree. Ontario time attack champion also. Also races enduro and podiums with regularity. I beat him in racing tho. same car, same tire. So we have Jackie ding, Jason ding and...John ding. 3 top TCR guys

@@boro92 can you get out of here? He’s lying everyone, this never happened 😂. In fact he took away one of my first places by going off track in our enduro car 🤣

Don't do a vanos delete

@ because?

Yes it will! 2024 TS oil pan has no changes vs the non TS

In theory, you should only ever need to do that once. RTV breaks off during break-in, and then there really isn't any other RTV that can come loose.
