Anyone know what the purpose of tapping the brakes before the braking zone is for at 2:50 for example? I'm doing more and more fwd manual track driving these days and feel like im missing a trick
Imagine the surprise that the 86's driver would've had looking in the mirror at 10:31 and seeing it still filled with red Honda Civic. Fantastic racing!
mate you are a very talented driver. I watched all 3 races of improved production from clipsal and you are very skilled.@8:27 That overtake on the outside of the 1st corner while sliding, was absolutely brilliant and required some big balls👍👍👍👍👍. keep it up coxy and you'll find yourself in the V8 supercars..
agreed 100%, he has the skill set AND the right mind and courage, would love to see him grow with it and make it to the high echelons of racing if that's what he is looking for
Watching footage from outside I honestly thought he would have a wild and unorthodox driving style, but this was just art, such beauty, masterful FWD pedal work. Quickly becoming one of my favorite drivers!
I've been watching the Improved Production races for the last few weeks now. I love watching you and the 86 battling out. He has the legs in the straights, but watching you sneak up and dominate in the corner is just amazing. Some great racing for sure! Currently working on an EG6 Civic myself, trying to get it running for the time being.
9:07 Interesting on how he tailed on the 86 despite the short gearing. Letting of the gas just as the 86 passed by, so that he can mash up the pedal and accelerate back up at the point where the 86 slows down at the turn. Conservation of momentum. Amazing!
You're going places if you can keep this up. The most balls I've seen in a track racing driver in ages. It goes to show you don't need power to be the best!
Great driving champion.....you are the man. Hope you get picked up by a pro team. GT3 or Touring Car Masters would suit you. Go for it while you can.........I missed my chance!
Oiii nah man you deserved the win!!! That 86 was fast as hell but the driver was strugling with all those horses and almost crash in front of you!!! Watching you drive is like a wet dream, keep up mate, you're fast skilled and have the right state of mind to become an incredible driver!!! Keep uploading your races please!!! Cheers from Argentina! All the best to you in the new year!
I've been watching that pass at 8:25 for the last 25 minutes from this angle and the angle shot on TV....simple amazing. He's countering the juke before the car has really even started to shoot out. This kid is an amazing driver and someone should put him in something faster.
One of the benefits of fwd cars is how quick he can get on the throttle. He's barely through the corner and he can mash the pedal without worrying about the back end coming around. I also love the pedal action. I have a tough time heell/toeing let alone throwing the left foot in there. Some very impressive driving.
That pass on the outside of the chicane was so good... not as good as the pass through skyline, but another amazing move. Keep giving them hell! Watching from Ohio!
Wow impressive. Left foot braking, double pump for the brakes after long straight and bliping while downshift. Very old school technique. Usually seen done by the old generation Japanese racer. Its rare to see these anymore as technology has taken over all these. Launch control, auto blip, abs, brake bias. So what the driver has is pure skill and experience instead of money. These techniques take a gd few yrs to learn. But its joy to see as these r like arts that u dun see so often anymore.
My thoughts exactly... One extra gear ! Even if it doesn't make that civic much faster (if at all), at least it'd cut the annoyance of bouncing off the limiter.
Holyyyyy Shit!!! Those few last laps were amazing! You even pushed him outta your way hahaha.. Great driving dude! Hope you make it to the big stuff soon!
Sounds like what you need is another gear, or just a slightly longer top gear. It's gotta be frustrating to keep hitting rev limiter when everyone else can keep accelerating. Keep rockin it Jordan!
Left foot braking, overtaking on the outside, doing that manuever similar to Hakkinen and Schumacher on Spa... "balls of steel" doesn't even begin to describe you
i wonder wat motor was in the corolla, it seems like you had no problem getting close to him in the corners but as soon as the straight line star, he always pulled away with mad speed.
Man, although probably a tactical setup if 5th gear was just slightly longer you could carry a little more speed on the straight sections instead of hitting the limiter. Maybe a longer 5th could help out not only with this track but with others as well? Just a thought. Great driving.
It's for two mains reasons. One, is to check if the brakes are still working before going into a corner, preventing an accident. The second point was made by +EvanTFullerton, saying that "The main reason is to take up the pad knock back. Sliding calipers in particular that most production cars run flex a lot as do the suspension components in a racing environment which cause the rotor to push the pads back quite a bit. Riding a lot of curbs exacerbates the issue so a quick pump of the brakes before the braking zone reseats the pad against the rotor and restores the normal brake pedal level. If you don't do this, you get a longer pedal then normal and if you get any brake fade towards the end of a long hard braking zone, the pedal can wind up on or near the floor". Hope this helps.
Testing the brakes. You see a lot of rally drivers use this as well. Pretty much they are seeing if they still have optimal braking before they have to brake hard before a turn. Would kind suck to find out last minute that you don't have any brakes.

jordan that was some awesome work mate. well driven. you really have that civic well sorted mate, you make an awesome combo together. guessing the ae86 was forced or 3sge as it had a little longer legs than you.
Is that the VTEC I hear kicking in Jordan? Great racing mate. Thanks for posting the onboard. It gives me something to learn off of while I try to get into the Improved Production series myself. Its a bit expensive. When you see Grant at the next race meeting tell him I say thanks for the help and advice.
Some of the best FWD driving i have ever seen well played man all the best for 2018. Btw can i ask a little about the car? What shifter do you run? Spring rates? How have you got your clutch pedal travel so perfect? Cheers
Shingo vs. Takumi .. All jokes aside, you REALLY know that Civic like the back of your hand. Impressive as hell, you should be hired as an F1 driver with the timing in your shifts, your ability to shift weight and manage your brakes, throttle control is on par with veteran professionals. IDK how long you've been doing this since I just found your channel today, but jesus it seems like you've been doing this since you were in diapers.
He's not doing it to scare others away, he's not doing it to test his brake to see if they work or not ( in case they didn't respond, what is he going to do? Crash into the wall a iguess) and he's definitely not testing the surface. They do this in all professional production car racing. And it's because pads get slightly out of place due to vibration of the car. And if you go right ahead and push all the way when they're out of place you might end up braking with just a tip of the pad. So they wanna pump it into place so the face of the pad lays evenly on the disk and then go for the hard brake. And there you go.
Pad knock back. Cornering forces, bearing play and mechanical flex pushes the pads back away from the rotors so the brake response is not instantaneous. It may not always be required but becomes it a habit before braking at the end of the longest straight. It could mean the difference between hitting the wall and not, especially on a street circuit like Adelaide where impacting lots of curbs can also cause the pistons & pads to drift away from the disks.
Helps build up the fluid so he gets a better breaking feel. As the breaks get hotter its needed more and more otherwise he might just get the pedal to the floor and slam the wall.
damn you drive good... any more info on the hachi roku ? ive already watched everything on your channel im amazed if wasnt for the 2.0 turbo in the hachi and sheer power you wouldve had him easy
If only the back straight had a chicane. That Hachi has MASSIVE straight speed. It's just hearth breaking to not be able to defend against him AT ALL. I hate Honda's and drive a GT86 and I still pull for ya. Hope you hit a track less power hungry to stomp them all.
Mate, you got what it takes. Great driving! Is k20 a no go because K series wasn't originally mounted in eg? Displacement wise you'd still be under 2000cc and more power and torque than from b20 plus 6gears. Cheers and keep them coming mate!
Excellent race driving👌👍👍🤘!! I don't know if you're allowed to tweak the gearbox with longer gears in Improved Production but a little more top speed on the straights wouldn't hurt I presume🕵️💪😊
@11:35 How are you so much faster than the other car? :o You're definitely much faster around the corners but I don't understand why, is there that big of a weight difference? You're restricted on the straights because of shorter gearing (?), is that what gives you an advantage in the corners? Or is it all down to driver technique? P.S. pls pardon my ignorance, I'm genuinely trying to understand racing and driving dynamics :)
Part of it is the incredible suspension setup of the car, they did an amazing job tuning it. It can soak up curbs and rumble strips unbelievable well. Driver talent and confidence in the car as well without a doubt. Just brilliant harmony between car and driver.
To bring the pads and line pressure up for heavy braking. Caliper pistons retract slightly in their bore. A tap of the pedal brings the piston back up for a more solid brake application.
Heasman Steering did the suspension. They are in Tempe, a southern suburb of Sydney. When I drive past there there are often a lot of exotic and high performance cars being worked on. My guess is they are good judging by Jordan's Civic. Probably well outside my budget for my old Ford Futura (: I'm happy enough watching young Mr Cox. I'd be surprised if he didn't graduate to a contracted drive soon.
why do you pump/tap the brakes two or three time at WOT just before you brake on the straights? is it no brake booster and to pressurize the lines or just testing the brakes

Conservation of momentum. Amazing!
Dude he's a genius for doing that and you're a genius for noticing! I'm gonna have to use that trick one day
11:38 "this race ends with a DOUBLE CRASH!!" haha damn i love this

You know you're braking late when you're shifting from 5th to 2nd! Legend
That B20 though. Honda's hidden gem of a motor. Keep it up guys! Make us B20 Brothers proud.
These on-board vids are amazing, and the footcam is a rad addition. Thanks for posting man and best of luck on your next races
I've been watching that pass at 8:25 for the last 25 minutes from this angle and the angle shot on TV....simple amazing. He's countering the juke before the car has really even started to shoot out. This kid is an amazing driver and someone should put him in something faster.
THat civic is frigging rocket when it comes out of the corners !
Please add a rear cam! :D Would be awesome to see your opponent's faces after you overtaking them :3
One of the benefits of fwd cars is how quick he can get on the throttle. He's barely through the corner and he can mash the pedal without worrying about the back end coming around. I also love the pedal action. I have a tough time heell/toeing let alone throwing the left foot in there. Some very impressive driving.
i like when manufacturers have the gas pedal reach all the way to the floor to make heel toes easier. but u could always get your pedals adjusted.

This needs to be in the eurobeat compilations. Never knew onboard footage of this fight existed
If only you have a 6th gear. Awesome race there.
My thoughts exactly... One extra gear ! Even if it doesn't make that civic much faster (if at all), at least it'd cut the annoyance of bouncing off the limiter.
Keith Liew Kwee Weng Improved production doesn't allow more than 5 gears
you are only allowed 5 gears here but more towards its the EG6 final drive ratio being short.
Should drop all the gears down 1 and put a b16 5th in. May be alittle slower on start but well worth it.
Dnice8363 hes using a B20 twincam VTEC. engine. He needs a K20 engine and a slightly longer final drive to hunt the AE86.
Great to watch the inside AND outside/tv.
What an epic battle!
Holyyyyy Shit!!! Those few last laps were amazing! You even pushed him outta your way hahaha.. Great driving dude! Hope you make it to the big stuff soon!
Sounds like what you need is another gear, or just a slightly longer top gear.
It's gotta be frustrating to keep hitting rev limiter when everyone else can keep accelerating.
Keep rockin it Jordan!
Probably a welcome trade-off for better acceleration between corners.
Maybe rules and regulations do not allow extensive modifications of the gearbox.
I love the aggressive pass attempts toward the end of the video, paint swapping especially!!
I can watch this all day long.Great driving,great video.

Awesome to see pedal cam!
Love it! Haha, did the person the Yaris (10:24) shit themselves when you and Browny went past, on either side? What about rear facing cam too?
Left foot braking, overtaking on the outside, doing that manuever similar to Hakkinen and Schumacher on Spa... "balls of steel" doesn't even begin to describe you
this deserves a lot more views. great video
6:02 he pumps the brakes twice. is he testing to see if the brakes are getting hot?
Making sure they work while going from high speeds into a sharp corner.
This begs the question if you're a human or a robot
Awesome driving!!! Will definitely be watching this from now on!
i wonder wat motor was in the corolla, it seems like you had no problem getting close to him in the corners but as soon as the straight line star, he always pulled away with mad speed.
Played this vid side by side with the commentary one..was awesome. Great Racing! Lovin that lil civic :)
I like how before turns, he lightly taps his brake pedal, to make sure the brakes are working properly
I love what you do with your Civic Mr. Cox! Honda, all day.
cox xq no relacionas mejor la marcha quinta? da la impresion que el motor da mas pero el cambio.ya no?
Man, although probably a tactical setup if 5th gear was just slightly longer you could carry a little more speed on the straight sections instead of hitting the limiter. Maybe a longer 5th could help out not only with this track but with others as well? Just a thought. Great driving.
banging the rev limiter through turn 8..... friggen amazing. Your final drive ratio was a bit short but you'll know that for next year I guess.
the civic and you are made for each other, what it lacks in top end it certainly makes up on bends+ skills of Driver of course.
Damn.... this looked better from the inside than what it looked like on the outside. This kid can drive!
My ignorance, but I don't get the double tapping on brake before the real braking zone (e.g. 1:12 , but also in several other points)
It's for two mains reasons. One, is to check if the brakes are still working before going into a corner, preventing an accident. The second point was made by +EvanTFullerton, saying that "The main reason is to take up the pad knock back.

If you don't do this, you get a longer pedal then normal and if you get any brake fade towards the end of a long hard braking zone, the pedal can wind up on or near the floor". Hope this helps.
might be a noob question, but why is he pumping the brakes before getting on them hard in the corners?
Jarod Campbel I'm presmuning he's doing somd cadence braking to slow the civic down just enough to get that turn in right without unsettling the civic
Testing the brakes. You see a lot of rally drivers use this as well. Pretty much they are seeing if they still have optimal braking before they have to brake hard before a turn. Would kind suck to find out last minute that you don't have any brakes.
Rally drivers actually do this more for testing the road surface, but same principle.

a K20 and a 6 speed transmission!!!!!
thats all you need to DOMINATE!
TheJonny2you Just imagine if he could be in a WTCC car.
That is an interesting rule, but to keep cars this diverse competitive is a feat in itself, so my hats off to the officials.
TheJonny2you To be fair, the Civic is actually in a lower class and shouldn't really be competing for first overall, but that's just what he does.
oh so they do separate the smaller and larger cars....
TheJonny2you Yes they do, the AE86's turbo puts in in a higher class.
Proper left foot braking, and ASMR of VTEC
THIS IS AN ART! ONE CAR WITH GOD LIKE HANDLING ANOTHER ONE WITH BETTER ENGINE POWER
wow thats absolutely awesome great skills on both parts. 86 is definitely slower in the corners but it just hauls on the straights.
Great driving. That gearing though! My god what's the final drive?
Great driving. If you are allowed to, increase the rev limit by 650-750 rpm. If you worry about the motor, there are ways to keep a K save...at 10k
Which would help if he was running a K20, it is B20 powered.
11:34 This is the point where COX gave some Shingo pressure on the 86, making it fuck up at turn 6
Can u to put a longer number on 5th without sacrificing differential ratio? For the long straight way
Great attitude too! It would have been easy to be mad about those final laps
Some of the best FWD driving i have ever seen well played man all the best for 2018. Btw can i ask a little about the car? What shifter do you run? Spring rates? How have you got your clutch pedal travel so perfect? Cheers

Why did he tapped the brake twice before braking into the corner?
To make sure there was plenty of brake pressure, and also keep the system pressurised. Becomes a bit of a habit
He's not doing it to scare others away, he's not doing it to test his brake to see if they work or not ( in case they didn't respond, what is he going to do? Crash into the wall a iguess) and he's definitely not testing the surface.

The left foot braking is amazing.
He isn’t left foot braking
Man what a great battle with the AE86. If only your power to weight was even you would have easily beat him. You sir got skills.
I think the Evo and Corolla have more horse power but its all about the driver and Jordan knows his lines. AMAZING.
damn you drive good... any more info on the hachi roku ? ive already watched everything on your channel im amazed if wasnt for the 2.0 turbo in the hachi and sheer power you wouldve had him easy
what is up with the break pumping on the straits?

morbo123456 The AE86 was actually in a higher class as well, the Civic still got first in class, this was a battle for overall first.
It would have been real close if the ae didnt block him.
ever thought about swapping to the K series?

Is k20 a no go because K series wasn't originally mounted in eg? Displacement wise you'd still be under 2000cc and more power and torque than from b20 plus 6gears. Cheers and keep them coming mate!
idk I doubt the corolla is running a stock engine
This guy needs a camera showing us out the rear because that's where everybody else around him ends up!! Brilliant.

Anybody can go fast in a straight line but takes skills in the corners and Jordan Cox has skills.
Why does he sometimes tap the brakes before the actual breaking point? Is it to confuse the driver behind?
To bring the pads and line pressure up for heavy braking. Caliper pistons retract slightly in their bore. A tap of the pedal brings the piston back up for a more solid brake application.
Can someone explain why he pumps the brakes while smashing the gas?
In long straight line, why did he kept pressing brake like 2-3 times before he shifts? instead of doing that, wouldn't heel and toe be faster ?
NMamoru making sure he's got break pressure 😀
Awesome race, love your driving, great job.
What suspension setup is on this car? It just absorbs the curbs so well!
Heasman Steering did the suspension. They are in Tempe, a southern suburb of Sydney. When I drive past there there are often a lot of exotic and high performance cars being worked on. My guess is they are good judging by Jordan's Civic. Probably well outside my budget for my old Ford Futura (:

why do you pump/tap the brakes two or three time at WOT just before you brake on the straights? is it no brake booster and to pressurize the lines or just testing the brakes
Look up pad knock back or my post just above.
^ what he said and he probably doesn't have ABS so he has to avoid locking them up
What final drive do you have? 4.4 or is it all a custom set
What kind of engine you have on this honda and how much horsepower
I knew you had to left foot brake !, there is no way you could be that fast with a FF otherwise ! Seriously good driving !
Those down shifts from fifth to second are tasty
what engine this car have and hp? and how high does it rev?? that racing keep going!!
Beautiful racing ! Loved it !
Astounding!!! I like both cars, but I love the AE86 haha.
