joined the tcc track day on sept 5 2016

more prepared for it this time around.

installed the defi NA set and serviced the car with Fuchs Pro S before heading up to Sepang with a set of spare tyres in the trunk.

this track day went slightly better, however there is still a need to take a break every 3 laps because the oil temperature was hitting 120 degrees Celsius by the third lap. maybe I'd consider installing an oil cooler in the near future to prepare for track days. managed to hit 2.48 with a better line around the circuit.

took the car down to Lye Designs to get all the small dents knocked back (~$200).

aligned the front wheels back to -1.5 degree camber after the track day.

also, redid the interior roof lining of the car in August. ~$280





Mileage: ~138,000 km

so it has been about a year since i became the third owner of this silver beauty. finally decided that i should keep a log of what has been done and what i have learnt about the last of the naturally aspirated civics around.

the car is in mostly stock condition, with the exception of a few modifications that the previous 2 owners had done to it.

also did my engine oil servicing almost immediately.

engine oil used: motul

current mileage: ~101,000 km
