  1. What is everyone using for lug nuts?

    Mcgard has lots of options so check their website to make sure the variation and length are what you need, and get the right part number. I recall they sell on summit, Walmart, and sometimes Amazon. At the time Walmart was the cheapest. Kics and Rays do look really nice but relatively...
  2. Brake squeaking at low speed

    Funny you post this... I've seen these posts and I've been telling everybody it's probably a rock in the dust shield, as I had it once every couple months, but lately it's every day.. last oil change I still had a lot of pad life left but it sounds like a scraping sound only 1-35~mph, not on brakes.
  3. Whirrin/ mechanical sound from dash/steering column at startup and shut down.

    Yeah mine does that. Never knew what it was for sure though, steering wheel lock is an interesting one, every car has steering lock. I thought it was HVAC system something.
  4. Mugen Group-B Exhaust Sound

    Sounds fine kind of hard to hear with the BG music, but there's only so much we can judge through a video. If they jogged the piping a little they could have an offset exit, EK9 homage, an opportunity to sell a new diffuser, and it would look less controversial aside from adding some...
  5. The Importance of Carrying a Full Size Matching Spare Wheel & Tire

    Takes about 2-3 rains and a bunch of Tesla SUVs, HUmmer EVs, and semi trucks on the same stretch of parkway to dig up to 10 potholes. Every single year, very predictable - don't drive on the left lane going east and don't drive on the middle lane going west. Both directions! I always ask why...
  6. The Importance of Carrying a Full Size Matching Spare Wheel & Tire

    Oh WOW. Glad your run flats did what they were supposed to do. My pothole was probably about the same and same speed, but I was on OEM 19s and luckily I was maybe 1000ft from home. I wouldn't have made it any further, especially without wheel damage. If you have limited wheels and you want to...
  7. How do you jack up your Type R?

    I made small wheel cribs out of 2x4s I jack each front corner and put under the wheels, then my low profile jack can reach the center. To me it makes it safer for setting the car back down than coordinating jacks, but it does take longer. It also doesn't get in the way of Jack stands.
  8. (SOLD) Eventuri Intake and Carbon Turbo Tube $1650

    Glws, FYI using pictures that aren't yours raises some flags. The off-car photos are the same ones posted by chuuey, presumably who you bought it from a month ago, and you're trying to ditch it already.
  9. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    Just need some suspension travel for rallycross and you'll have midair stability
  10. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    I can imagine there's discussions of how big of aero you can put on a street car for liability, in case someone changes it (or it "breaks") and spins out. When you have GTD aero and power, you charge a lot and handpick customers who aren't going to embarrass you.
  11. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    The cfd plots and discussion are cool, and educational. Describing how the elements make the impact is also fairly generic if you don't need the numbers. These are in tens of pounds, vs the hundreds expected from a giant wang and front splitter/canards on a race car. Otherwise it's just adding...
  12. Correcting the record on manual transmission fluid disinfo

    My wild guess. Some sort of systems test engineer or chemicals engineer background. Appreciation for nuances in formulation and ideal and application factors. Better report style than most mechanical engineers, and cites sources. Thrives in BITOG discussions. 😆
  13. Correcting the record on manual transmission fluid disinfo

    At 4k miles on factory MTF, do you expect the feel to be representative of new OEM fluid? Such that OEM wouldn't also feel "smooth". 90% of owners could stick with OEM, but also 90% of owners could stay stock. Neither of those are likely because racecar. OEM shifter is pretty good, Acuity is...
  14. Bolt Ons: Intake / Intercooler / Header / Exhaust: Has Honda or Your Dealership Shop Heckled YOU or Denied Warranty on Your Civic Over Them?

    The consensus is, nobody knows. Magnuson Moss is great to have on your side and certainly tempers some dealers and provides some justification for others on why they care about some mods and don't care about others. Use common sense, and the more you deviate from OEM on any given system, your...
  15. To steal, or not to steal.

    Put a huge obvious camera and motion light system in the rear window of the si. You probably won't want to get wheels since it's the easiest thing to take. You can go wingless with a prl delete, though I'm not a fan of how it looks. Most of all I'm glad you prize the NSX and keep that in the...
