Respect to you for admitting your errors. Roof looks better than I'd expect, did you have a roll cage fitted?

Is this stock or aftermarket downpipes? In the future I will want to add those on and dont want the exhaust to be good before and then have tons of drone after getting some dp's. Is it liveable with the windows down? I love driving with the windows down and I like like decently loud but also like to enjoy having the windows open. Also are the burbles from a tune, or does it do that stock?

also good to open the fill bolt first so that you can ensure that you are able to fill it before you drain it :)

Can you recommend when should do the first transmission change

great to see you back. dont worry about the negative comments. there will always be a hater. only the people that track understand it. mistakes or accidents happens. its the price of the racing game.

So glad you did a video on this brand. Couldnt find a place to trust and clearly can trust you!

Welcome back bud, as a fellow Type R crasher, don’t let the peanut gallery ruin your mood. Keep at it, keep having fun, and do your thing

Really nice of you to say that "she saved my life in exchange for hers". Most people end up anger and depress after car totaled. I will remember your phrase but i hope I will never have acident.

Thanks for uploading the video good sir. Prayers for a quick recovery ❤️‍🩹 and let’s get you back to racing again

Thank you for sharing this video. I just installed my new radiator, together with intercooler, charge pipe, and HVI

Glad you are ok!

Nice driving!

So what happened? Did insurance total the fl5 that you smashed? And you purchased another one?

Great to see you're back! Your videos were part of my choice to buy an FL5 for the track, maybe I'll see you at VIR next month. :)

Glad you are back.. Curious, with a new opportunity w a new car, did you ever consider anything else other than the FL5? a PCar, Corolla GR etc?

I'm one of the new people who saw your crash video, and I just want to say a couple of things: First and foremost is holy crap!! I'm so glad that you're ok! That's some scary stuff. Second thing is a bit more critical of what happened... I didn't want to comment on your crash vid as that was not an appropriate time to do so, you had other crap to deal with. I do need to tell you this for your own safety and others on track with you. You mentioned having an instructor in the vehicle, but I would like to hear more about what feedback they had for you. I'm not an instructor but have attended many HPDE events and have had an instructor in my vehicle with me 95% of the time. My main observation is your hands. PLEASE work on your hand placement on the steering wheel. Your hands are a very major part of your feedback mechanism when it comes to determining your tires level grip on the track surface. If you are constantly shuffling around the wheel, you are not in sync with the wheel, steering column, steering rack, and ultimately the tires grip on the track surface. Always have your hands @ 9 and 3 unless you lose grip and need to counter steer. Use a light grip, no white knuckles, wiggle the fingers on stable straight aways to loosen up a bit, but always keep them at 9 and 3. If that makes you feel a bit confined during hairpin/tight turns, then you can adjust your column up/away to make a little more room for your elbows. Proper seating position is important. I really hope that this comes across as constructive criticism and not flaming as that is not my intent at all. Keep driving! Keep learning! Keep having fun!! That's what it's all about. EDIT: I notice that your lap starting around the 15 min mark looks much better than the previous vids I have watch when it comes to your hands. But you start to get lazy with that left hand at 16:02. Keep that hand locked in at 9:00. It was looking much better though! Keep at it.

Thats how you do it! From another fellow HPDE'er, its so refreshing to hear your humbled opinions. Everyone nowadays for some reason thinks their in TT their first time out in HPDE lol. So glad your well and pushing yourself to get back on the horse, there are no limits when your passionate about something! Loved hearing the shoutout to Tony in his GTI, great super smart guy! I want to get out there at a Tidewater event, between your experience and things Tony has mentioned, it certainly sounds chill! This is what HPDE is all about! Have fun! Work up to the pace, test the limits while your still in control, and just have as much fun as you can!! Just got back from Hyperfest running with NASA HPDE 2 and 3 groups (5th year at HF!), its been literal years tracking my civic a few HPDE events per year, but this outting I had more fun this time than I have had my entire HPDE career so far. I'm getting more and more comfortable trusting this wild contraption I've spent almost a decade building hahaha. Let me know what events you plan on doing this year, or even possibly next year, I'd love to bring the car out and meet you!

Damn. That 4RS was movin

Glad you’re ok man. That was scary. Hell of a crash.

Glad you got back out there dude. Some really great insights too. I have gone for Motul 700 fluid this time around and will be trying PBS pads all round. I found the MPS4S to be loose as well.

284 oil temp? Holy cow, is that normal? I’m used to the BRZ life where 240 gets me nervous.

I went through some bullshit with my insurance company 18 months ago. That stress - I’d make sure I wouldn’t have any problems on the track with insurance regardless of cost. I don’t track, or have the care capable of it. I’d loose my shit if they wouldn’t call me back. 😂

230 water temp! 285 Oil temp!

Glad you had fun! Before too long, you'll be even better!

Tidewater is wonderful

Closing out with a sinister blacked out ctr

we all seen it, you were a bit reckless from your last crash and you were very aggressive. you've definitely improved overall as a driver mentally which what really matters the most. lots of improvements and with time you'll become even better. great laps

Hell yes! Love that you're back at it. Good stuff man!

People always complain about the cost of SRF yet are totally fine with constantly flushing RBF. lol SRF all the way!

welcome back! appreciate you taking time with me on the phone a few weeks ago. I was able to shave some time but still driving a bit tentative. Also appreciate the content on the channel. Keep it coming.

Please dont stop making videos! Im awaiting seeing your brake fluid flush and other videos for noobs

great to see you out there again, love your take on things and how to build up towards fun sessions

Absolutely just go at a fun pace. Its not like your getting paid. Wreck again and your never getting insurance lmao 🤣

TSCC runs a tight ship 👍

Back in black!

It was great to hang out with you this weekend. People with nothing good to say about your experience weren't there when we were all worried about you when it happened. You overcame a lot this weekend and had fun doing it. That's a win!

Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing everything. Two questions-1. What is black car is that you were chasing? I’m currently watching around 20:35 mark. 2. I haven’t followed in the past and this video highlighted it. Do you have any plans to address the suspension bounce during at-limit turns? I own an FL5 and I know that bounce well. : )

Great meeting you last weekend and glad you got back on the horse. Lots of fun at the TSCC events...a good group to run with. I rode with Tony as well and he definitely is a good one to try to emulate!

You've definitely improved as a driver, I'd say. Much smoother inputs, smoother weight transfers, and a much tighter 9 to 3 hands position. Keep it up bro 💪

Great car, and a honest man. I’m in, well done with this hobby and explaining things to us waaaaaay out here on the internet!

Welcome back brotha. I look forward to more FL5 content

Was great seeing you out there and getting back into the swing of things! First time back after a crash is very unnerving. Glad you were able to keep your head clear, and happy you learned a bit from the ride along! Very nice lap overall - especially Hogpen! That was one of my areas of focus this weekend and your advice there helped a bunch. I just need to get better consistency there. Hope to see you out there again in December!

Nice to see you back on the track

I think we get so focused on times that we forget to actually have fun. its good to get PRs but. not at the expense of having fun and have a good day out on track. Glad you back there, that takes some guts. You are right about the PS4S, they are junk on track, great street tires. I had to run them at the track a few weeks ago because had an issue with the track wheels they squirm, take long to heat up and grip and then overhead and go slick quick. I also have R5s (only on front ) but been having tons of issues with judering its driving me crazy.

Nice pass on that Corvette also

Good on you for getting back on the horse and not hiding from your mistakes. Sad people would ridicule but I think a lot of people can learn from what you are sharing. I tracked my FK8 in the past without track insurance and if I ever take my FL5 to the track I’ll definitely be getting insurance!

Lol Ricky Bobby it 😅 glad you got back out. I don't think I could have after a wreck like that, so good on you man!

Happy your in another fl5 brother
