For the past 2 weeks I tested 2 prototype Invidia exhausts for the 2.0 hatchback. Invidia makes exhausts for 11th sedans (1.5T dual Q300 and N1; 2.0 single Q300 and N1), but not hatchbacks (except Type R). Below is my old exhaust: Invidia Q300 for 2.0 sedans. Sedans are 5" longer than...

What's the joke? Is it a FL5 thing? I see replicas on ebay for $20 shipped https://www.ebay.com/itm/197948776150 https://www.ebay.com/itm/194221386012

I could add "C2" as an exponential (example below). I found a sticker with a "6", so I cut it out and placed it as an exponent to signify 6 speeds.

Saw this at a car meet. I wonder what is the story. Why go from 265/35/19 Michelin Pilots to 245/40/18 Delinte DS2? This is in Los Angeles county, where nobody needs winter tires. The blue Si in the background had 255/40/18 Bridgestones (200 treadwear) on CE28N Also at the meet: 265/35/18...

I have the "K" from the Kellogg's logo. The Special "K" logo has a gap in the center, whereas the Kellogg's "K" doesn't.

Replaced the "SPORT" badge to represent the lowly K20C2 in base Civics. 🤭 Some might think I have a K20A2 (200HP RSX Type S) or K20Z3 (197HP 8th gen Si), but my engine is more like the K20A3 (160HP base RSX and EP3 Si). 😆 I was inspired by the badge on some 10th gen Accords and "K...

$242 less than from Hasport. 🤷 https://hasportperformance.com/products/fl5stk-civic-type-r-mount-kit/

Based on my experience installing/removing (sometimes blindly) nuts, bolts, and clips in very tight spaces, I think it's possible to reinstall the helper spring without removing the clutch pedal assembly. With the right tools and zip typing the coils (pic below), it looks possible. It may take a...

I removed the clutch helper spring. Took 30 seconds using a pry bar. Once I dislodged one side of the spring, the entire spring fell out. Afterwards I took a 12 mile test drive on streets during rush hour traffic (lots of stop-and-go). Here are my observations: Clutch pedal resistance is linear...

Is this how you adjust your clutch pedal? A and B shown in step 1?

I'm really interested in removing the clutch helper spring, but I'm concerned whether doing so will accelerate long-term wear. The OP stated this mod is common among Mustang owners, so I Googled it. I discovered companies sell spring upgrades. The product description concerned me about removing...

If you're going to expose the shifter, the Hybrid Racing and KTuned are more eye catching. The stock shifter base on the Acuity shifter is an eyesore.

If that happened to me, I would replace the strut mount assembly. I never seen that stud sold separately. How the stud looks from underneath I had a PRL and DC Sports bars. I didn't like how the nuts didn't thread all the way. Below is a photo of the PRL bar on my car. Now I don't have any...

Not my car. Shifters also available from Hybrid Racing and KTuned.
