Cayman GT4 Track Days
Cayman GT4 GT4 Porsche Track Car Track Day
 After owning this car for 8 months and doing quite a few thousand street miles and 4 track days it is easy to see why it gets such rave reviews. My interest in performance street cars is track based. Heading to the track for an open track day is where I find the enjoyment of sports cars and performance. There have been quite a few different street cars and race cars through my garage, and all used in various ways so let's call that a solid base to make comparisons. Up until this point arguably the best car I have...

For the last couple of months we have been on the hunt for a new project street car to have around the shop and recently we landed on a solid candidate. I was open minded when it came to what platform we ended up with and looked at everything from C6 Corvettes to Porsche Caymans to Audi RS3's and everything in between but it is hard to get away from our Honda roots. Recently this 2004 Honda S2000 popped up for sale from another enthusiast and it ticked all the right boxes for us. A modifiable chassis, the right price...

The 17+ Honda Civic Type R (FK8) had a reputation that preceded it. Anything with a Type R nomenclature from Honda is expected to be brilliant and after a couple of years of the car being on the market it seems the FK8 is living up to the hype. Mechanically it is a modern marvel. Honda continues to throw its name in the ring of being able to build the best handling FWD cars that have ever existed. Aesthetically you can still find a spirited conversation wherever you are going both ways on the looks but as a brute force...

The 2001 Acura Integra LS is still kicking around. With just over 6,900 miles on the odometer we continue to use it as an all around fun car. From running errands around town to some recent track days at the Sebring Short Course and Daytona Intl Raceway it continues to be a joy to own. Since our last update we have made some changes to the car. After the high end coilover testing with the Koni 3011 Series shocks and Eibach stiffer spring rates that car ended up not being as much fun to drive around on the street as...

We are continuing to truck along with the Acura Integra Street / Track project and are onto our next step in the process. As you have previously seen we took a bone stock Acura Integra to the track in the first episode and then progressed to some mild suspension tuning and a limited slip differential installation. As the project rolls on we have been figuring out the next thing to tackle as we enjoy the car on the track. After the first 3 test days at The Firm in Starke, FL we are still seeing a lot of outer tire...
