FK8 Shakedown! Whiteline Anti Lift torture test at Thunderhill East Cyclone

This is the very first time running Thunder Hill East in this configuration. Was a lot of fun! Cyclone definitely throws a wrench in things but it is an interesting and fun dynamic. We also torture test freshly installed Whiteline Anti Lift kit for the FK8 Civic Type R and what an incredible result! This kit is just Grip Mode activated!

Thanks for the feedback!

[@miket570]

These videos are awesome. So satisfying watch you finally nail that cyclone. You did well to stay on that Cayman (GT4?) on your first time in this config.

[@GridZilla]

Thanks. Yep that Cayman GT4 is my buddies car. He was hitting 2:00 flat.

[@EvilStreetShark]

Woooohoooooooo! He hit that crazy hard brake cyclone corner at the end!!!! That's crazy!!!! Awesome job! Keep up the videos!

[@GridZilla]

lol you've got 2 feet to hit the brake zone correctly or you're basically over slowing or going off the track

[@EvilStreetShark]

@@GridZilla Sheesh.. I was like O_O When you see over the hill it look like you're going off a cliff LOL

[@GridZilla]

EvilStreetShark now multiply than feeling X 10 and you’ve got the Laguna Seca Corkscrew lol

[@GeorgeBeck100]

Loved it when you finally nailed that blind corner Yo !!!

[@GridZilla]

Yeah kinda comes up quicker than you think lol

[@hirpmvtec]

Cheering you on from my living room man! Love watching you progress! You learned the braking points towards the end and i knew you had a PB coming !

[@GridZilla]

hirpmvtec lol thanks brotha. Hoping to hit bypass next time!

[@alfonsovanegas8069]

This so cool man! Already beat the expected time ! Keep it up!

[@GridZilla]

THANK YOU!

[@kg_oner9215]

Michael nice driving bud; you got faster and faster as your confidence increased. I especially liked seeing your front bumper ride right up that Corvette's ASS! Your car is FAF.

[@GridZilla]

KG_ONE R Thanks brotha. Crazy thing is I know there’s still more time in the car. It’s just so hooked up right now! Z06 driver came over later in the day to ask wth I did to my car lol

[@VonB3]

Sick vid Bro, straight killing it!

[@GridZilla]

Mike Boost Thank you!

[@wrxnfx127]

Great video👍🏽 I see the thumbnail man And I love how you've made your car look like a Type R TC race car. I'm Very inspired , keep the videos coming

[@GridZilla]

Ron Mon I prefer to think the TCR modeled their look after my car thank you very much. 😂🤣

[@wrxnfx127]

Michael Baxi Media you could be possibly correct on that statement 😆 90k price tag and can't drive on the streets . I'd buy your build for sure.

[@GridZilla]

Ron Mon exactly! Full interior, baby hauler, grocery getter, track beast! 😈🏎💨

[@davevil8750]

Good job, love the insight and seeing you race the R!

[@GridZilla]

Thanks brotha. Everyone should race their R!

[@BushidoPhoto]

I'd love to see what Tsuchiya-san could do with this car on this track with his aggressive heel toe shifting.

[@GridZilla]

There’s a few people I’d like to see behind the wheel of my car. I’m just an amateur at best but this car is so good right now

[@BushidoPhoto]

@@GridZilla You drive great! I've only driven on Hockenheim ring when I was stationed in Germany. There are no tracks around Austin that you can drive your own car on. :-(

[@GridZilla]

Bushido Photo, LLC sounds like it’s time to move! Lol

[@loonyhap8043]

damn whiteline should pay you for testing their product..

[@phunkdoctaspock]

Their* product.

loony hap there’s two way communication between us for sure. Just helping with future development to make products even better.

Ronald Batalla nice!

[@huskyjay4405]

I love the video keep up the good job. One quick question I’m a huge fan of fk8s but why they get so much bad reps people are always talk a lot of crap about them.

[@GridZilla]

Jay Langumas what specifically are you hearing? Either way it doesn’t surprise me. There will always be haters 😉😁 pay no mind my friend. This is the greatest platform out of the box under $100k that Honda has ever built.

[@VonB3]

Most of the time it's from people whom never driven or owned the car so they speak of what they don't know...

[@GridZilla]

Mike Boost there ya go! You either know the FK8 is a giant killer or you haven’t driven one yet at its limit. Simple as that

[@ozagaming.]

im not liking the sound of that exhaust....-.-

[@neilthomsen1810]

Yo neighbor, did you drill holes in ur license bumper for license plate? what are you using actually. 2 of my buds got pulled over for not having front license plate in San Pablo area recently lol.

[@GridZilla]

No holes drilled here! EVS front license plate tow hook bracket

[@PappoProductions]

Hey you need to lock your exposure. I see flickering on every video which is annoying to the eye. If you set up an exposure point you like it’ll make your videos look 100% better with quality

[@GridZilla]

PappoProductions I noticed that too. Thanks I’ll check out my settings

[@cybercityoedo808]

Is this better than the RV6 compliance mounts?

[@GridZilla]

Cybercity Oedo 808 it’s quieter for daily driving but for hard track use the RV6 will hold up better.

[@ffrnando4388]

Was the HondataHack freezing up? Noticed it was working in some occasions and then not or frozen in certain clips. Been thinking of doing it myself but not sure if it’s reliable

[@GridZilla]

Fernando J. It does freeze quite frequently on track. I’ve since then installed Gauges for that exact reason

[@ffrnando4388]

@@GridZilla nice 🔥👌🏼 upcoming video? Would definitely be interested to see the setup. Possibly install guides? 😅😬

[@GridZilla]

Fernando J. Already installed so no install video. Gauges were a little complicated for me to do on my own so all the work was done by Elite Performance

[@ffrnando4388]

@@GridZilla nice, can't say I'd be feel comfortable doing it myself either, wiring and electrical are a bit out of my comfort range. Recently bumped into your channel and started from the very beginning and making my way to the most recent upload. Noticed your in the Bay? Would be nice to see the build in person one day.

[@GridZilla]

Fernando J. For sure. Me and my buddies are always out!

[@rafaelsuarez1344]

You exhaust is heavy try to use a single exhaust like tomie, your car will be much lighter on the track.

[@GridZilla]

single outlet exhausts won't pass 90db sound limit at Laguna Seca

[@mrdudelove1]

Do you have the link for your front grill?...looks sick

[@GridZilla]

Is the Js Racing grill from Evasive

[@mrdudelove1]

@@GridZilla Cool thanks Does it fit the Fk7 you think?

[@calisti555]

Does it require a realignment?

[@GridZilla]

As with all suspension mods, yes you really should. If you are tracking with this mod you really should check tire temps as well to make sure you aren't now running too much negative camber.

[@calvink3081]

Do you like thill east or laguna seca more?

[@GridZilla]

Calvin K My heart stays with Laguna Seca. Thunderhill is a very fun track but nothing has history and the global recognition that Laguna Seca does.

[@calvink3081]

Michael Baxi Media ive yet to do thill east but ive done laguna seca and loved it. Thill east reminds me of it and cant until may to try it out. Funny, i was at thill east as a passenger last year around may and i believe i snapped some pics of your car while i was photo-shooting my friend’s cars. It was CTR galore that event 😅 After watching some of your vids, ive been itching to trade my GTI in for a CTR..

[@GridZilla]

Calvin K do it! Lol 😈

[@NCLme]

Lol Stop beating that dead horse hehehe 😁 Great track time...stay off the dirt
