We're back on track with DOGHOUSE GARAGE at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway🏎️💨
We made the trip up from San Diego with John [IG: @jdmjohn_ ] piloting the OEM PLUS DC4 Integra & a group of SD friends with Civics. Cooler temps made for perfect track weather & it was a full day of racing in our Hondas with some friendly on-track battles, glorious moments & also some epic fails when the full sends get too sent.
Started the morning off with a few sessions in the EK Civic but transmission issues eventually forced me to retire the car early. With the hatch down for the day, the daily FA5 stepped up to the plate & threw down on the remaining sessions to finish off the event!
Super stoked to get some seat time in the 8th gen sedan, I can definitely see some potential in developing the Si into the ultimate street & track machine!.. if we decide to go down that slippery slope of course🙈
Thank you, Doghouse Garage for hosting such a fun track day🙌
Also shout outs to OEM PLUS, ICZER Garage & the San Diego homies for joining us!
Lets run it back soon🏁

Diddy oil for the snuggle buddies took me out🤣😂…the EK transmission could have used some of that diddy oil to stop popping in and out😂. Great content as usual.
Lmaooo fr!! Next time we’ll have to top off some😂 thanks for the kind words!
Dope seeing you turn into Takumi fujiwara in the FA5s first track run 🏎️💨💨.

Dope ass channel
Thanks man🤝
Love it. Get after it with that track time.
What tires were you running on the FA5?
Also were you lifting in the FA when you were getting oversteer? Depending on the tire compounds, width and inputs, that might have been a few combined reasons for it.
Thanks! The FA5 has Falken Azenis 255 width up front and some type of Goodyear summer tire in the rear in 215 width. These tires were on the wheels when I got them but yeah I agree, it definitely contributed to the excessive oversteer. A matching 200tw tire in the back should help that👍
@boomboomtisk Ah yeah. You could hear the rear sliding after you turned in, and my first thought was "Probably all seasons, because daily driver."
You're inspiring me to get back into working on my FG2 track project again. Keep going.
@@ApexwithDavin awesome!! That’ll be a fun track car for sure, these 8th gen Civics have a lot of potential👌
@boomboomtisk Keep making videos. I love watching them.
Look like ur camber n brake pad not grip enough ya~~did ur car come with full lock lsd? If not maybe u can install it~it will improve alot when u in track :)
Yes, a lot to do with both cars! The EK will return with a new transmission so stay tuned for that🤝🤝
@ gd to hear that~or maybe u have to upgrade ur brake caliper 2 ya😉
@@ph45e95 anything is possible with more money🤑😂
@@boomboomtisk haha~no choice honda the power of dream ya🤣
You would set a faster lap time with less side wall and more tire psi... free tip if you want it😎
Thanks for the tip!
Yeah that side wall flex doesn't help.
Take the type R next time
Maybe like, next next time hahah
Awesome cars, mids driving.
Only noobs hold the steering wheel with one hand around turns
Did you miss where he said that he was popping out of third, so he had to hold the shifter?
@ApexwithDavin Well then I take back what I said about the car 🤣
mid comment but thanks for watching🤷♂️
@@boomboomtisk NP, thanks for posting.
And you know this mannnnnnnn!!!!
Ayeeee😎
