Going Vette and Porsche Hunting in an 8th Gen Civic Si
Had an awesome day at Summit Point on 8/2/24. FATT is always a great vibe and I managed to get approved to start driving solo by the end of the day! Had a fun time chasing much faster cars and am pretty stoked that I laid down a 1:32.9 during my last session despite blistering heat (95 degrees) and degrading track conditions (it was getting greasy toward the end).
Car is a 2011 Civic Si on Hoosier R7 225/40/17 square. Upgraded brake pads (DTC-60s front, HP rear), hi temp fluid, and SS lines. DIY icebox intake and a Greddy catback. No tune - currently running stock power. I also take out the back seats and spare on track days to shed a little weight.

8th Gen Civic Si Running a 1:32:9 at Summit Main
มุมมอง 309หลายเดือนก่อน
This was my first ever solo session and I'm glad I managed to string together a decent lap! My lap timer setup wasn't working (I use Dragy and overheated my phone in the 95 degree weather), but a frame-by-frame shows this lap at 1:32:969. Special thanks to my instructor, Owen, for the excellent coaching and for holding 3rd gear for me all those laps. Now I gotta do it myself! Haha. Car is a 201...

Full session #4 video from Friday at the Track (FATT) at Summit Point on 5/31/24. Managed my fastest lap during this session and really got the rhythm of the track down. Super fun place!

Quick upload for my fastest lap of the day at Jefferson at a 1:30:43. There's at least another 0.5 in the car if not more. Looking forward to getting back there soon to try to crack into the 20s. Car is a 2011 Civic Si on Hoosier R7 225/40/17. Other than brake pads and tires, she's basically stock!

Thanks especially to my two instructors, Kevin and Jed who helped show me the ropes and get me up to speed on this incredible circuit. Also, a special thanks to my dad and sister for tagging along, helping me with the car, making lunch, and generally keeping the vibes impeccable! Jefferson is a very tech...

Good day out at Summit Point Main for the last Friday at the Track (FATT) of the year. Really cold and rainy December day made for slow lap times and quite a bit of carnage. Still a lot of fun, though! #8thgencivic #summitpoint #trackday #hpde

    What’s the suspension setup? Or is it stock

    • @Serial_Hobbyist
      @Serial_Hobbyist 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Stock suspension - definitely the main limiting factor at the moment. Under hard trail braking, the suspension gives up and washes the car out before the tires lose grip.

    What mod u done to the cat

    • @Serial_Hobbyist
      @Serial_Hobbyist หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@pakourking5726 No mods to the cat. Just a Greddy cat back exhaust. I think it mostly just makes a better noise. I'm not convinced it actually adds any power. Haha.

      Haha, thanks! Yea, stupid 3rd gear still pops out on me. It was brutal hanging on through the carousel. My left leg is still sore from trying to brace myself without both hands on the wheel.

      Yea, definitely a bumpy track. Definitely made the car get loose more than once throughout the day. Fun, though! Haha

    Nice fast lap! I was the car in front of you that session and noticed I wasn't pulling much of a gap after you pointed me by.

      Thanks! That 818 was quick - You were definitely walking me on the straights. It was fun chasing you!
