I just want to 2nd this. I also run thinkware F200 (Just got my wife a Q200). Great cameras. You can modify the sensitivity to try and reduce the amounts of "incident" events that get triggered. While the noise is whatever, it does make me feel better to know it works as a reminder. It's...
Hey good morning, just wanted to provide some info related to a horrid rattle I experienced with this exhaust (AWE Touring)
About a month ago, right below the driver/passenger area a noisy rattle began to occur once the car began to warm up (never went away. Upon investigation (assuming it was...
Interesting, when I get to my car later today I’m gonna try and flick it like that and see if I can get it to rattle. Never heard that before!
One guy on there said the exhaust hangers were too long so that may be the root cause. If it’s actually an AWE problem I hope they addressed it.
I’ll...
A long time ago, I think there was a guy who did the same thing, and he got roasted for it (no one believed him.) He swore he got a better throttle response, and his ride was smoother as you described.
Without doing it or experiencing it myself, I got to say that it's unlikely to me that a...
Certainly agree. Just for the record, I'm not attempting to accuse you specifically of fear inducing, however all I'm saying is anytime I ever see anyone say PPF is a bad idea, this is the point they usually default to, which is fair. I just don't think in a large data set, that many cars that...
I put an AWE Touring on mine last May and here's my thoughts. FYI don't use sound clips for judgement on these things; unfortunately, sound clips do not do this exhaust comparisons justice. I recommend going to a meet if possible and try and see if you can find someone that can exemplify their...
As for this part....I think this is only true when utilizing poor quality materials and poor installs. If you have a proper installer using good products, this should not be a problem. YMMV but in most cases do the smart thing by picking a good installer and good material (do your research)...
I think it's fair to feel this way.
Personally, for me, I hate how to beat up cars get on the front end. Realistically, rock chips and scratches are not a problem and 99% of people would never notice them on your car, if you even care. For me, I like that my car is in good paint condition...
If you're going to do PPF I personally think only a front is necessary.
If money is absolutely not a problem for you, full is nice. But if you are teetering, I'd just do front.
Congrats by the way! Enjoy the car.
The two things that I will comment on that maybe can help you out.
I would stay away from the OEM Illuminated side sills. They are extremely underwhelming and not at all worth the money. There is actually a thread dedicated to this topic: OEM+ Illuminated Door Sills - FL5 and Si | CivicXI -...
You are just ambitious, nothing wrong with that. Just remember to spend time just living and loving the people you can while you can. There will always be time to work on hobbies you just got to find the right time.
You got this my man, good luck!
Awesome project. I want to work on a rebuild project sometime soon, maybe next few years. Money and time.....
2 Kids and trying to maintain a crazy life is hard. I think once the kids are a little older and I can have some play money I'll do something like this, just been wondering what a...
Some door-to-door sales guys (A pair) just Wednesday came to my house while my FL5 was parked in the driveway. They loved the car and when they knocked we talked about the Type R and other cars for literally an hour, awesome conversation. I let them look inside of it and they were blown away...
Decibels are decibles...idc what the road surface was like. I'm sure they probably did whatever they could to create the noisest driving experience possible.
Idk I guess sorry I made you feel that way. I wasn't implying you were being untruthful just shocked like I said. Almost like when you...
You're not wrong, I haven't made the drive nor do i have the experience.
I do have, however, my own personal driving experiences on extremely rough roads (toledo ohio). I'm not going to argue whether or not my roads are worse. I just have never ever had to complain about noise to that...
Earplugs? Man, you guys have some sensitive ears. Is it loud...Comparatively...Sure. But just put music on. Volume 10-15 or higher I don't feel like you can hear the road noise. Even with no music, it's not like I have to cover my ears, it's just driving.
I support anyone for wanting to...
I would say though it was purchased after the recall was issued, doesn't necessarily mean this would have escaped. Best bet is to just take it to the dealer and let them troubleshoot the problem.
It should be covered under warranty, Afterall.
Looks like to me weld or paint sealer that ended up on the body before painting. It's more common than you think, though at the factory this normally gets caught. Considering it's on the roof doesn't surprise me that it was missed. It happens.
Anyway, as long as you report it and are upfront...
