I am 62, constant back pain, took me a while to fine tune my driving position and the seat, but it is perfect now. I agree about the OEM ride, I swapped to the ITS module the first weekend after I bought the car. I now have the DSC suspensions controller, which is much better than the ITS...

In my experience, the indirect TMPS will not alert till one tire is nearly flat, esp. with low profile tires, since their circumference (and therefore tire revs) does not change much when they lose air. I installed a TPMS with external sensors, an added benefit is that I can also monitor tire...

No. Mobil 1 used to be made by First Brands, parent company of Fram, before they went belly up. Mobil 1 oil filters are now made under contract by Highline Warren LLC. Cons are the coarser published micron rating and an unproven maker change. Do not treat today’s M1-110A as the same filter...

I replaced the transmission fluid with ACDelco Syncromesh at 8k I have the Hybrid Racing short throw shifter and PRL RMM. I still manage to grind 1st to 2nd when accelerating hard and shifting fast. Sometimes it wont even go into 2nd and I have to slow down and try again. But as someone...

I recommend that you take a look at the DSC controller before you get the ITR module. The DSC is more expensive, but well worth it. https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/dsc-sport-controller-suspension-module.60684/ https://www.dscsport.com/collections/civic I had the ITR module from the...

Lithium should hold charge better than lead acid batteries, and it has charge cycle life in the thousands of cycles (compared to hundreds for lead acid). Engine bay heat will shorten its life like it does for lead acid chemistry. Any battery trickle charger will need to have a lithium mode...

OEM oil filters are now made in China, not the best (and the previous made in US filter were lowest rung Fram). look at Purolator ONE (not Boss), and PGI oil filters. As for oil, Amsoil Signature is arguably the best, but more expensive and not readily available. and with short oil change...

What I got was the D80 plan from an out of state dealer. I had to mess with the JavaScript and/or HTML to get them to sell to a California address. Price is a bit higher than what I paid a year and a half ago

For no mess oil change I use ValvoMax. not a drop of oil leaked out. I have it on all my cars. yet changing the oil filter is always messy. I attempted the "bread bag over the filter" technique to no avail, still very messy.

I'll chime in with Cobb intake and Cobb AccessPort with an unlimited custom tune by @JST Performance Cobb intake is fairly unique in that it has larger MAF housing, which allows more air, but requires a tune to go with it. With more power also consider an RMM to eliminate or minimize wheel...

I did a lot of research about oil and filter. For the oil ended up getting Mobil 1 ESP Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0W-30 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-ESP-Full-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-0W-30-5-Quart/1756386056 For the filter I ended up with Purolator One (not BOSS), but PGI is now ramping up...

No need to apologize, I love learning and gaining knowledge, so I can be aware and proactive if needed.

Quick research shows that disposable paper air filters (similar to OEM) will catch smaller particles, so that those that go through will not be caught by an oil filter, but also will not cause much damage since they are so small. However, reusable oiled cotton filters allow larger particle, in...

All I know is what I read... I am also aware that I worry a lot, and that in theory theory and practice are the same, yet in practice they are not. i.e. in theory the scrub radius should affect handling, in practice it might not. similarly for the clearance, I read, and saw pictures that...

Thanks, I did not consider air intake as affecting oil cleanliness, darn, one more thing for me to worry about... How would dust/sand particles in the combustion chamber make it into the oil? I guess blowing past the rings? but wouldn't the oil filter then trap these particles? I used the...
