10mm is close to 1/2 inch. 18x8 +30 would give similar fitment as 18x8.5 +40. That would also be the fitment of running 20mm spacers on stock wheels (which gives a flush look).
What does "integrated front pipe" mean? I know there are different naming conventions depending on platform. Does that mean it is a full "downpipe back" exhaust like the Thermal R&D? Like, for those of us already running a "frontpipe" (sometimes also called "midpipe") from a company like PRL or...
Check the respective dyno charts. I will say I was going to run MAP to compare to TSP but I have PRL CAI and DP/FP. MAP said their stage 1 was for bone stock car. They have tunes for their bolt ons but not tested with other brands. To their credit they checked with me before sending the tune...
I drove a 2014 FRS with a slush box trans a couple of months ago and it didn’t feel slow to me. I was surprised based on the torque numbers. A performance pack BRZ with manual trans would be plenty of fun. Of course it costs $30k and I wonder if Subaru/Toyota will spend the money on a redesign...
A bit off topic, I know, but there just isn’t a single Acura that I would buy instead of just buying a Honda and keeping the extra cash. Is Acura luxury (not really)? Performance (save for the NSX, no)? Budget luxury (Genesis is doing that better)? Reliable luxury (they haven’t done so well at...
+22 torque vs. the 9th Gen by Honda’s numbers, bit more than that by most dynos. And coming on much earlier. That’s what you’re feeling.
If the MK8 GTI will be around 250 hp then you’d hope Honda would bring a bit more to the stock Si. Then again, the FoST, MS3, and WRX have all been sitting...
I’m trying to figure out why Acura even exists at this point TBH, but the reason Honda thinks it exists is as a luxury brand to compete with Lexus. I don’t see an ITR fitting into their current brand “strategy” for Acura.
You can actually install Windows 10 on your Mac for free (if you have Intel based Mac with boot camp). You download the Windows 10 direct from Microsoft and then at the very end you say register later. It takes away some kind of functionality, but nothing you will notice if you are just using it...
Hondata's dyno numbers are ... optimistic. You at the very least can't read them was whp/wtq. They are closer to power at the crank. I think they may even have said that themselves. You can't really compare between dynos. At best, if you have an honest broker, then you have to compare...
Very quick first impression based on one drive in to work. No WOT or 3rd gear pulls or anything. I would describe as very smooth. Power comes on easily. I am using Flashpro so I can't compare this to Vit Stage 1, but it just feels like everything is working together. I had been running a pretty...
