Sometime ago I reached out to Purolator and Mobil 1 to get the spec sheets on their efficiency data. To my surprise they sent them right over. Mobil 1 M1-110A Purolator Boss PBL14610 Purolator One PL14610

Selling the stock rotors from my 2024 FL5, front pair only. Brand new thickness is 32mm, minimum thickness is 30mm. These are at 31.55mm and 31.2mm, so they have plenty of life left. I removed these to replace them with Paragon rotors. There is no warping or cracking. Local pickup in Raleigh...

This makes a ton of sense. This stuff seems pretty good, can handle 3000F and safe for rubber/plastic. Permatex Silicone Brake Grease

In your experience brake grease can perform like anti-seize on things like bolts and other metal on metal contact points?

I changed my front brake pad and rotors today. I don't do a lot of work on my cars, but in my job I work on equally challenging stuff with my hands so I felt it was within my ability. For whatever reason I always felt a block about working on my cars, maybe because I care less about my company...

Yeah, I ask because I feel like I've seen post about peoples' OEM PS4S falling apart and then it got traced back to when they drove in cold temps.

Did you drive the PS4S in cold weather?

I did some reading about this when buying new wheels and I came to the conclusion that a good reputable steel lug nut is the way to go for durability. Titanium may gall and aluminum is soft and won't stand up to monkeys using impact wrenches. A McGard or Gorilla steel lug nut is going to be the...

How long have you had the Girodisc rotors and how are they holding up as far as corrosion goes on the non-swept parts?

Reviving this thread, what material are the OEM front rotor hats made of? If it's aluminum then I see no reason to buy brand new hats from Paragon when the OEM hats can just be reused, unless you want to go with the clear hat design.

For sale are 2 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. These are the stock tires on my 2024 Civic Type R. They have a healthy amount of tread left, roughly 6/32" as shown in the picture. One tire has a nail in it as shown in the picture, but I never had issues with it losing air pressure. Since it is...

Where is this quote from?

I'm mostly wondering if there is any downside to longer lug nuts. I suppose that was not clear in my original post.

I'm getting some Apex wheels and need to get new lug nuts. I'll be using Advanced wheel locks for safety. The deal with that is the Advanced wheel locks are about 1.97" long, so then it seems the rest of the lug nuts should also be roughly the same length or else it might look weird or perhaps...

Selling the stock PS4S tires from my 2024 FL5. There is a healthy amount of tread left, roughly 6/32" as shown in the picture. One tire has a nail through it as shown, but I didn't have any issues with air leak when it was on the car. I can fix it if you prefer, but it's not necessary. During...
