The fact that’s it’s setting those lap times alone while it’s still going through it’s shakedown is impressive as hell. If it wasn’t for the power cuts you would’ve had the mustang easily
It would've been close, but the car had potential to fight for an overall class win. But, of course, reliability was part of the competition and ours didn't last!
With fwd understeer, sometimes all you need is a weight shift to get more traction forward. So a light tap on the brakes while keeping the accelerator steady can save you a lot of slip. But that is typical on a long fast sweeper right at the limit. It seems so wrong, but it is a great trick to keep you right on the edge
Jackie Ding grid life is not an event you want to test your car but gotta start somewhere. Nonetheless great driving! Hope to get competitive on my frs
Finally got home from school (^ - ^;) I've been looking forward to this video, and it was worth the grueling 7 hours of school. I feel like this car's just a tad bit shy; it's inexperienced and it needs to build confidence, but when it does have its guts, (and Mr. Full Sen-Ding at the wheel) it's gonna be fast as hell.
Jackie I'm enjoying the show! Love seeing you and the the S2k going out and punching way above your weight class. I grew up on 510's so I understand low hp/ great handling dynamics. What got me watching your channel was our battle with a Type R last year; I was wondering how you might actually fare at the wheel of one... You're a quick learner and were obviously getting faster with every lap. It's too bad that CTR wasn't up to the task and failed you. Hopefully this experience doesn't taint your opinion of the FK8. I have one and absolutely love it. GL!
I take most of the responsibility for this one, if we had known more about the Si/Sport engine differences we would've ordered the right fuel line before swapping over. Will be fixed before next outing though, with more seat time and new tires we are definitely looking at 22's, I can't wait!
While still getting used to going from RWD to FWD, trying to compete and shake the car down for everything else to make it better? A constantly random shutdown of power when you need it most has got to be one of the most infuriating things ever. Props to ya Mr. Ding... Would've lost my patience after the second lost lol
Wasn’t too infuriating for me haha. Frustrated, yes, but it’s best things like this happen on shakedowns so at the more important events, we’ll have it fixed and ready for more.
@@JackieDing86 The S2000 is such a fucking good chassis though its fucked. Like I have seen some of the more heavier modified examples having no issues matching GT3RSs.
It’s very true. That said, in TA most people uses other, also heavily modified, platforms and then the S2K might struggle a little. It’s almost a 20-year-old chassis, if you think about it ha.
This is a good example of why you should have people that actually know what they're doing modify the car. I mean, a stock CTR that would be in good running condition would be much faster than this car (and safer as much as pulling off every session is).
@@JackieDing86 Fair game. Regardless, it'd be hard not to say that a Civic Sport in running condition would have fared better. Knowing what you're doing when modifying a vehicle is huge.
@@JackieDing86 Maybe this guy should "shakedown" his car on a dyno with a professional tuner instead of crowding up a track, making it more unsafe for everyone.
@@xampx2k7 You aware that grid life limits the number of people on track right....what crowd? Your complaints about safety is dumb. What are you gonna shake down on a Dyno? I dont recall any corners on a dyno lol...a stock sport would also over heat and blow its motor after 2 laps.

Love the racing commentaries for the channel! Like the FWD vs RWD correction statement from a racing perspective! Would like more!

Love the fact, the owner wants to prove a point. You don’t need an Si, just deep pockets and aero in a FWD will work.
Good Job.
You say deep pockets... this car + mods is still less than a CTR ha. Won’t be tough to get it reliable.
Jackie Ding grid life is not an event you want to test your car but gotta start somewhere. Nonetheless great driving! Hope to get competitive on my frs
This is an si block inside the car with other mods.
Man you were about to tap right in the sweet spot. Please make another video when things get worked out. I look forward to the next episode!
Certainly felt like it. Getting advice from Tomo, a Pirelli World Challenge Champion, certainly helped. With some more laps I can get faster for sure!
You learn very fast. Good skills!
Красавчик)
Great driving. And zero-counter in that last clip? Perfect 👍
Xing nian kuai le!
Tomo is phenomenal, that’s for damn sure...
Happy lunar new year!
Damn thats frustrating my fastest on this track track with my ctr is 1:30 need to go back and get better. Good job man you killed it!!!
That car is killer
Love the content man!! much support!!
Thanks!!

I love this description haha. Maybe you should give her a quick draw ;)

Thanks man, this is not a CTR however ha. This is a FK7 Civic Sport, with an Si swap
Ive been waiting for this!
I love this channel haha
Man once everything gets worked out CH2 is gonna be killer
I wanna see what you do in this car after the power cut is fixed!
And you will get to see it soon! :)
ugh, thats super frustrating from your POV, glad to see you were positive, also bummer we couldn't get into a bracket together
Would’ve been super tight if we had our battle without issues... I think you would take it but not a walk in the park!
I take most of the responsibility for this one, if we had known more about the Si/Sport engine differences we would've ordered the right fuel line before swapping over.
Will be fixed before next outing though, with more seat time and new tires we are definitely looking at 22's, I can't wait!
haha i was a couple cars back when you stalled on grid xD good driving!!!!
dam now that was a good battle! only if no power cut.
I'm just glad this isn't the CTR where the owner shaved his wheel spokes to make brake caliper clearance and then sheered off his wheels....
Don’t worry, this isn’t even a CTR... just a Civic Sport!
@@JackieDing86 Gotcha
Did you guys already found the problem that cause the power loss? It could be fuel or ignition surge that may cause the ECU to limp mode tho
It was a fuel line that caused fuel pressure to become too high and sudden limp mode, so you are very much correct
When the car cuts out during a battle, it's like edging but never being able to finish
Lmao I remember when I asked you about the fk8 and fc1, here it is. Now you understand why I asked. Lol
Sure is a ton of fun! More will come soon!

Still making it out to COTA next weekend, Jackie?
Yup! Brian is working his ass off prepping the S2K. Close on time but making it work
@@JackieDing86 hell yeah! See you there!
How much HP and torque it’s making? I can’t wait to make my hatchback like that 🤙 #hondalife
Man I havent been in SOW in like 8 years.
I'm gonna be that guy... FIRST!!! Lol
Is that a civic sport ?
It is indeed, with a Si Swap
@@JackieDing86 Wow, never thought they had that potential! Btw Nice driving JD, good to see you push your limits on a different platform
Haha. We barely just got started... should gain another 150 hp easily, more aero, more tire, more brakes to come!
@@JackieDing86 turbo Si swap??
When will we see the mighty S2k?
When it’s ready to do battle once more

your ac was on, that's the reason why you're losing power XD
The AC was not on, it was the heater to help the car with cooling.
@@JackieDing86 lol I know, I was just being sarcastic
Im surprised you said it was faster than your s2k by far.
1.5 Turbo has a ton of torque for sure. Once the S2K gets boost it'll be a different story
I got a video with car you driving
Only 1 thing!!! Fu**ed powercut!!! Lol
Car looks a lil tricky
oof it sounds so underwhelming compared to the s2000
also those power cuts were so hard to watch ahaha
This is a good example of why you should have people that actually know what they're doing modify the car. I mean, a stock CTR that would be in good running condition would be much faster than this car (and safer as much as pulling off every session is).
This is not a CTR... This is a Civic Sport, that goes faster than CTRs. Move along, ha

@@xampx2k7 It's a shakedown test. Shakedown, meaning to find issues and fix them before the next, actual, full send event...

Don't drive that car again lol we wanna see you in the s2k only! Every time it cut power it was frustrating to watch.
You may wanna see that, but I certainly don’t wanna do that ha. Learning to be more than a one-trick pony.
The owner should just stick to stock cars lol...
Not sure if you have any idea what *Time Attack* is ha
