I use the 4WD frequently every winter since I live in snow country.

👀

@@AttackDA9 I think it helps in the corners without a doubt. At this power level (210whp) a good driver could probably stay close in fwd configuration. All else equal, the awd does make me faster in the corners, simply because some of the front tire grip gets freed up for cornering instead of being used for all the power delivery, so less understeer than fwd. Now though I’m battling understeer again because I’ve reached the limit of grip up front with so much rear grip. Gotta have the same size tires all around due to awd, so you can’t tune the rear grip via tire width anymore. So I need stiffer rear springs, more camber, etc and round and round we go.

@@kawdzilla that’s good news then. Ive been wondering about how it’ll help considering it goes off slippage. Looking forward to more vids

@@AttackDA9 right exactly. So now the issue is since the rear diff is open, when I’m in ultra hard corners the inside rear is lifting off the ground, meaning any power that’s being transferred to the rear due to slippage is getting wasted on a wheel that’s spinning in the air. So my next experiment is a rear LSD to see if we can get power transfer to the outside rear wheel and mitigate some of that understeer.

Negative. Coyote. It’s also undercoated with Fluid film which attracts oil and dirt, no engine leaks.

Ignore the wideband it’s old and my tuner was having issues with it on the dyno. Someone else mentioned this in a previous video too. It doesn’t read right, either due to the exhaust construction or being old and abused on multiple setups including a turbo H2B. Pay no mind. It’s tuned right, we milked it for all it was worth on the dyno.

Yes. Front, rear and transmission.

How black was the rear fluid?

@cliffmorrison1130 similar to the front. And pretty sure it had half the miles on it because I had the rear pinion seal replaced under warranty a few years ago, which requires a fluid change.

The credentials of the C7 Z06 are undeniable, it happens to be one of my dream cars.

Thank you! Long time in the making.

⁠@@kawdzillaI can only imagine. Looks well worth all the blood sweat and tears 💯

There’s nothing quite like an 8400rpm redline.

Appreciate the love man. Message me on IG @kawdzilla and we can chat more. As far as the grip, it’s surprisingly seamless, you really don’t feel the awd “kick in” but you can 100% tell it’s awd as there’s no wheel spin and almost no power out understeer like fwd. Def worth the extra weight imo, car is 2311 lbs. Using wago parts so I can’t speak to CRV setup effectiveness on track.

@@NerdRate thank you!

@@NerdRate thanks. Yeah well, better than nothing.

@@OlmanEg plenty of room for improvement, especially on the brakes. Appreciate the love!

@@phantasy2075 that’s old man speed. Excellent driver and a really cool guy. I was having trouble getting rid of him so I deployed my windshield molding countermeasures.

@@aussiebatman4290 indeed it already has.

@@jsb03f coincidentally, I’ve just finished installing one.

@@kawdzilla from what car? or is there an aftermarket one?

@@kawdzilla would like to see a split screen video of the comparison between the two

@@SaWuDOHC Quaife quick rack. 3.2 turns lock to lock vs 3.9 factory. It’s so much better.

@@jsb03f lucky for you, that video is in the works! Just hit the track yesterday.

@@JhawkBeats all the fun I need. Thanks man

You’re welcome

Hopefully someone here has some knowledge. Check the forums too.

Appreciated!

@@kawdzilla 🤜🤛

Sure was.

Nice

It was indeed $5 each, just like birdy said. Might depend on location.

Great point, if you have a tire machine and balancer this video isn't really relevant. I'd love to have that setup.

@@kawdzilla Took me years but I finally broke down and bought one a few year ago, totally worth it..

Thanks man! Appreciate you

Perks of AWD. When you have all the traction you use all the pedal.

You're referring to the little audible dinger switch?

@@kawdzilla No sir...the actual ignition switch at the bottom of the steering lock assy. The lock assy is discontinued in the US, you can get em from Japan, probly, on ebay... but the OEM switch portion from an EK bolts up and worked. It's alot easier, and you keep your matching key to doors.

The springy action you feel in start position is actually in the white and black plastic switch assy.

@@boostismagic oh yes, I'm tracking. That's a good option. My door lock cylinders are getting replaced soon anyway since they're basically unusable, so matching wasn't a concern for me at least.

@@kawdzilla 👍 Gotta get creative on these parts now..also just fitted a heater valve from an Odyssey. same valve as ours, but ave to re-use Civic bracket and the little throw lever that the cable attaches to. The OEM one is cheaper than the aftermarket which most have bad reviews. Race car may not need heater either, 😅

That B series was fast as hell. Excellent driver and definitely out braking me in the corners.

@@kawdzilla is that just an OEM k20 oil pump?

@@boostismagic yep.

Top strip just pulls out. Side pieces, pull from the inside edge and squeeze outwards and pull away from the glass, then up. If you're not trying to save them, just yank em out, the clips will probably break anyway if they're old and brittle.

They're old Enkei wheels 15x6.5, similar to the current J10. Not made anymore I don't think.

Appreciate it! Knocked off some rust making this one lol.

Thank you sir. Very true. Setting the bead with the air compressor will be more difficult with a flimsy sidewall tire however.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

They are indeed. At least it’s got an LSD. Wagon parts all around. VC rebuilt by Trustfab, stock diff, custom rear driveshaft, modified stock front shaft, both completely redone with 1310 u-joints. S1 Alpha arms, FCS diff mount, insane shaft swap axles all around.

@@kawdzilla oh damn that’s overkill for na you should boost it

@@Gameworldplus1 rather start with overkill than have to fix it later when it’s boosted.

@@kawdzilla oh 100% I thought you were staying na

@@Gameworldplus1 Just taking my time, enjoying the simplicity of NA for now.

Truly, nothing else works lol

I’m all ears…

@dsw3rvin pretty sure he’s making a joke directed at Honda drivers always bouncing off the rev limiter. Could be wrong though.

@@Brenden.Riley. that’s where the power’s at baby.

Well now you can live vicariously here.

Thank you! Such a great platform for road racing. Happy to see people are interested in this, I'd love to keep this going.

It's a beautiful sound. Myers competition fender exit header. Because race car.

Don’t have one. Still looking for one that’s compatible with the awd rear bracket.

Well I’m flattered!
