I Damaged the Car Even More..... | CMP Part 2

[@deesautohouse367]

I thought my excel sheet was impressive until now. Eric outdoing everyone in everything lol

[@EricKutilRacing]

Lol!

[@pachecodc5]

You’re a made man behind the wheel, built the hardest 4dr civic ever

[@EricKutilRacing]

My man, thank you 🙏!

[@NippyMoto]

Damn the onboards of your car really give off 90s BTCC vibes!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Love it! BTCC/JTCC vibes are goals for sure

[@KNEILSPEED]

Honestly, watching most racing is not that exciting to me as I don’t feel like I can relate much, despite being a car guy & trackday enthusiast. However, watching the grid life series, with the in car video, & seeing the behind-the-scenes, gets me stoked.

[@EricKutilRacing]

That makes me so happy! GLTC is so damn good and why I love racing with them!

[@mappie92]

He got that williams f1 racing excel sheet

[@EricKutilRacing]

Lmao, running off that excel sheet baby! And just like Williams, my back up chassis isn't ready either 🤣

[@TrackMouse34]

That race 2 finish is one for the record books man. One of the best finishes in GLTC history

[@Tguedes98]

DUDE... I've never felt this! I can feel my heart pounding off mt chest watching that first RACE!!!! OMG, what a race man! I really love your channel and what you're able to do with the car! GLTC is really really awesome!!!

[@chadl.981]

That was more fun than watching F1! That last lap was amazing.

[@littledan6994]

Fair play (to all cars and top 3) and to the accord getting that speed without hitting the curbs or apex's...but the way your car rides curbs so peachy, rotates and munches up those corners, carries speed and manages tyre wear...👌👏💯 hats off to your dedication to perfection..the data logging, driving, setups...etc 👏👏💪😎

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah man, the car was freaking dialed all weekend! Fast out the gate and ate up those curbs! Less weight vs the competition helped late race pace for sure too!

[@pastorraudel1261]

Congrats 🎉

[@taddyrussvelt]

Damm! That's was something! I'm already watched this race on gridlife, but with this editing, beat up music in right place, describe for all what happening, different angles... and calm down to the and of the video. It's blow my mind! I got a dose of adrenaline through the TV screen watching this video! Keep doing!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Haha thanks so much man! Glad my editing isn't that terrible lol

[@2005ep3si]

Everytime you passed Houton I hear in my head "Noooooo Monica!!!!" Lmao

[@EricKutilRacing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Snake_47]

Man seeing a new Eric Kutil video always gets me excited, what a finish. And the way you have your car setup, the way you track all the intricate details is how I aspire to be when I turn one of my civics into full fledged track cars. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're such an inspiration to me and others man, love your stuff, keep it up.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

That is a proper way to data set your set-ups.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks! It's a huge help to keep everything organized and in order

[@flokiloki6845]

I don't know if it's an external mic or the size of the exhaust, but all exhaust sounds of that honda is true entertainment!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Just a good quality in-car mic 😁

[@PH03N1X_83]

I was screaming at the Race 1 and 2 livestreams! Good shit, Eric! Let's go!!!! Thanks for putting in the time to make and edit these videos. It's a treat to see the driver/mechanic perspective in these grassroots racing leagues.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks buddy! Glad to share the journey, both highs and lows!

[@bhumiriady]

Been waiting for part 2 of the GRIDLIFE CMP vlog series and all I can say is, it's well worth the wait!^^

[@EricKutilRacing]

Sorry for the wait, vacation got in the way lol! Glad you enjoyed it, more to come!

[@bhumiriady]

@@EricKutilRacing It's OK and I'm definitely looking forward to more content.^^

[@gwjs414]

You couldn't hav said it better 👍🏽

[@gwjs414]

Eric. Is there any way to get a copy of tht race data spreadsheet 😁? Not with Your data tho. Id love to use that for my lil race car

[@EricKutilRacing]

Sorry man, that sheet is very personal to me and I've worked on it for years. I'll consider making something a little more simple for public use

[@chouavue2266]

As a Honda guy, I appreciate your talent and toughness. Keep it up man, great stuff!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DahakaCL]

Busy AF lately dude, couldn't make it before. Jesus christ what a race, what a drive Eric, your driving have been absolutely insane man, the patience, the experience put into test, the setup, everything is paying off finally.. Can't wait to the next video.

[@FernandoSosaIndustries]

Epic racing man!!! Love that your car always “comes in” in the 2nd half !

[@EricKutilRacing]

This race was more of the brakes coming in lol

[@keith_167]

Mad respect, from garage to winning races. Congrats🎉

[@EricKutilRacing]

Appreciate it!

[@patricks9401]

Wow, Bud, amazing driving, this is more exciting than everything else I watch.

[@EricKutilRacing]

I'm so happy to hear it! Thank you!

[@fstlnj29]

Okay stop this! @21:38 Fat, old and thinking I am going to have a grabber from that last lap. Palms literally started to sweat! Great job by all three at the top!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Haha thanks buddy! It was intense for sure!

[@chancextw]

Congrats on the win, well-prepared for a perfect fight.

[@wils_builds]

You’re such an inspiration! So much work to get to this point. Your wins are well deserved!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thank you so much!

[@casefc3s]

thanks for sharing these Eric! not only are they entertaining as far as being great racing and behind the scenes, but they're very educational in terms of what one can/should do and what can happen when doing competitive road racing!

[@EricKutilRacing]

That's exactly my goal with these vlogs. Too many youtubers only focus on building shit half assed and moving on to the next project. Not a lot seem to focus on w2w and the finer details of what makes cars actually great, racing them to their limits lol

[@ChaosFox]

youtube popped your CMP Race 1 video into my recommended and I was not disappointed, watched race 2 and I'm super impressed with your driving skill. Made me a fan for sure and love the nod to the 5th gen Civic's JTCC heritage! Cant wait to watch race 3!!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Haha thanks youtube! Must be doing something right! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@ChaosFox]

@@EricKutilRacing I'm a huge fan of touring car racing in general and while I enjoy seeing TCR, the days of 90's super tourers will remain my favorite. Seeing Grid Life's Touring Car series is awesome in general, but seeing your Civic put the hammer down like that rules so much.

[@florian_montuzet]

You know how to build badass cars, how to drive them, how to film and edit awsome videos with great onboards. Do you know how be bad at something ? It was awsome to watch.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Hahaha. Thanks buddy! I try too hard sometimes lol

[@florian_montuzet]

@@EricKutilRacing if you try hard it's easier to have the result you want I guess 😄.

[@camerongrady580]

Such great racing. Also, great edit with the commentary and footage blending man. Great to watch!

I appreciate it, thanks!

[@tylerpalmer8973]

Lol! With my daughter asleep in the next room, it was all I could do to not shout and cheer watching the nail-biting finish of race 2!😄 Absolutely epic. Well done Eric!

Congratulations and outstanding driving once again. Hybrid vs KTuned, it was like a forum discussion 😂! Love the peak into your data collection. Makes my single sheet of paper for pressures, temps and notes look like kids work!

[@drewpierce2273]

Heck of good run. Can you bed in a second set of brake pads during practice? There's a body work advantage to plastic cars, obviously. And finally, no punch out , ala, NASCAR , after your bump and run.😅 All good Eric.🏁👍

[@EricKutilRacing]

Haha yeah. I'll have pads prepped and ready to go from now on for sure!

[@sethmonteleone8178]

damn dude that race 2 was a DRIVE

[@RoeRacing]

I really enjoyed this one. Im dying to get out there with you!

[@garage79r]

If it were me Id run a larger capacity filter and one that has better filtering efficiently. I bet if you had the oil tested youd find alot of silicon especially when you pick up sand like that. The best oil filter is the air filter. Love the car.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah, honestly not a bad idea. That K&N is super tiny, I need to switch to an enclosed sprint filter setup

[@garage79r]

@@EricKutilRacing i do like that you always have a serviced one ready to go. Thats good planning

[@ismailbakirci]

Good stuff! Thank you

[@theripefruit4343]

congratulations on the win. i wanna ask what made you choose the 4 door over the hatch or coupe?

[@EricKutilRacing]

To be different, easier to find and cheaper. Also the extra 2' of wheelbase helps stability

[@barrackb0325]

Damn that’s some Forza Motorsports type tune and set up

[@ZER0value]

oh my god, what a fucking drive mate!

[@zsracer7830]

That race 2 was so good Eric in full stig mode on the Hunt. The car looks fast How has James got that tank running so fast

[@EricKutilRacing]

James built a weapon and it took me two years just to get close pace wise. His car might be as heavy as a tank, but it has way more power and wider tires as a result.

[@zsracer7830]

Sounds like he's built a front wheel drive vett lol

From scratch but based on what I learned crewing for an IMSA team.

Can you post the spreadsheet template? (16:25 & 20:58 are dope shots! Congrats on the win, that finish was awesome!)

[@uses0ap]

@@EricKutilRacing No worries. Great work!

[@ThatsChong]

Gottem.🎉

[@RHflooringRYAN]

do you always prime the pedal with consecutive quick taps like that before turns with full break? Or is that something specific to that race with brake issues.?

[@EricKutilRacing]

It's more so a habit lately lol. But the pedal was a little soft and the curbs cause vibration and pad knockback

[@spa-tukeramat6193]

that a good job bro.. really nice.. from 🇲🇾

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thank you so much 😀

[@basiclifeskillsasaman1291]

It takes balls of steel to get that eg 4dr to slide around a road course like that.

[@MrMcLime]

awesome race! nice finish! maybe bed the pad during practice just a bit? ( if you know you need new pad soon) new pad for a race is not the best feeling from my experience.

[@tealchief]

Are you LF braking on corner exit to tame wheel spin?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Nope, just trying to get some brake pressure in my pedal ha. Pad knock back from the rubble strip vibrations and a soft pedal with fresh pad had me buggin all race ha

[@mikey631]

your spreadsheet is amazing! It also surprised me that you are running relatively soft springs for an EG chassis? I remember back in the day, my friends and I with EG's and integras were running around 400 lb/in springs (or higher). but I'm guessing some of the other parts of your suspension setup increase the wheel rate? either way, I've never seen such a detailed setup tool like this!

[@EricKutilRacing]

The springs are N/mm lol. So like 1250 lbs/in ha

[@mikey631]

​@@EricKutilRacing Haha, duh! I should have figured that. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@richminiturbo]

Awesome to watch!! Question: on your spreadsheet what's the spring rates? Or is it spring length in the cells? Only curious as 220lbs/in is like 5kg/mm haha

[@EricKutilRacing]

N/mm
