my two cents bro; if that was the oil in your catch can from 600 miles that would be a major issue. The honda techs didn't empty your catch can. Still worth it? I dunno, long term yeah prolly. Not that big of a deal to empty out now and again :)

They do that because your brake lights and reverse lights are supposed to just be bright enough to bring awareness as an indicator without blinding drivers. By making them brighter it affects those around you. They aren’t supposed to give you an x -ray.

Similar feeling with our brand new 2024 RAV4 Hybrid XLE. Full of tech, all LED lights all around including headlights. Except turn signals. BTW those are regular incandescent bulbs, not halogen (like headlight bulbs). So I put LASFIT bulbs in my RAV4 turn signals like the first day we got it. Also have them in my 2014 CX5. They work great and no changes needed to the flasher unit in the car.

There is no better day than a track day thats for sure. Do change the fluid though. and specially if you think there was any chance that you boiled the fluid already, once it boils its not good. Id do SRF just because you can keep it in the car for a year, other fluids they rec you change every 6 months. Stock pads probably fine on some tracks and some drivers but good to upgrade, at least the fronts. Don't get super annoyed about point bys, I get it I wanted to be there and get the best times and pass people but at the end of the day everyone is there to have fun. It really depends on who is there, sometimes you think intermediate or advanced will be better with pointbys but they can not be. I have had really good novice group with everyone doing point bys and then intermediate where a couple people never gave point bys, I just pull in the pit and ask for space. Oh also tape your wheel weights or they might also fall off and that is way more annoying than the caps cuz you have to get wheels rebalanced.

Hey man great meeting you there. I had the other Boost Blue, we talked Sunday morning. Regarding the SCCA yearly membership, it renews one year from whenever you sign up and does not go by calendar year. Also, the Work 2 Get 1 free day doesn't have to be used the next weekend. They're pretty lax about it and you can use it whenever, and as far as I know it doesn't expire and can be transferred to friends/family. They have your registration history to look at it anyway. For the poor point bys from that GTI, I would definitely bring that up to your instructor, classroom instructor, or the event coordinators on the day of next time. With novice, they may be more cautious especially if the instructor is more nervous and it being your first ever track day. It generally is a lot better in intermediate in my experience, having both driven and observed both while flagging. Another thing you can do is pit in if it keeps happening, indicate with your hands that you're searching for a gap, and you'll be sent back out. The center caps melting off is like a rite of passage haha. Made the same mistake my first track day 2 years ago. Glad to see you decide on SRF, definitely utilize that FCPEuro lifetime replacement policy to keep costs down for you. You and that Camaro were killing it in novice, and I truly did see insane progression from Saturday to Sunday. I am planning to drive Main or Dominion as of right now, broken leg healing dependent. If not, I definitely will be flagging and collecting some more days for next season.

Hopefully people will stop paying that markup because we are the ones that are in control and if people just said no, they would be forced to sell it for MSRP! It is a dope car but not +$60k, dope!
