1) How often do you drive your car? If you're letting it sit for days or weeks, squirrels will lose their fear and start exploring your car. I think the car becomes an immobile "part of the environment" if it sits too long, like a tree, and animals will start to investigate. My girl friend would...

Appreciate the details on the rigid collars. I was looking at these and heard good things.

Would you mind going into more details between the differences between the DWS06+ and Michelins. Can't decide between the two, and I think I'm splitting hairs and overthinking.

I've spent too much time on Bobistheoilguy wasting my time and never got a clear answer or any objective evidence / testing for which types of oils I should use. If it has the API seal and is full synthetic, go ahead an run it as a daily oil. Oil change intervals are more important than oil...

All good points here. Civic Si auto hatchback exists, it's called the Integra. Honda will never put a K engine in the Civic if they got rid of it in the Accord. Everything's going hybrid now, EV later. My predictions for 2025 refresh: 1) Entire Civic line up gets full suite of Honda Sensing. 2)...

I own an MR2 Spyder and I installed a catback exhaust in it a few years back. The exhaust was very rusty, and to avoid snapping bolts, I took 2 days and maybe 15-20 PB sessions to undo the bolts. I would hit the bolts with PB Blaster, wait 5 minutes, undo bolts by a 1/4 or 1/2 turn, hit bolts...

Hmm, a little pricey, but this is something I might do in the future. Thanks for the tip, Chilly. Edit: Oh my bad, US gets LED headlights, nevermind.

Bumping this thread. Thanks for experimenting and answering some questions I had about swapping for the digital gauge cluster.

I thought that the 2.0T was built in Japan, with allocations for the Type R staying in Japan and allocations for Type S going to the US.

Even if car buyers sell the car for the price they bought at, the non-refundable transaction costs will bleed money out of their pockets, oh god. Sales tax, dealer fees, discretionary mods, insurance premiums to name a few. One could maximize yearly IRA contributions with those alone. I guess...

Bumping this thread, but could you please answer my three quick questions? GLWS Does the FSB affect the driving dynamics notably for street / canyon driving? Is the brake brace worth the extra money for street / canyon driving? Did you experience any extra lag from the intercooler and charge...

Honda is following its mid-2010's product cycle pretty closely. Civic (MY2016 -> 2022), CR-V (MY2017 -> 2023), Accord (MY2018 -> 2023). Every product received a 3 year refresh, so Civic is scheduled for MY2025 to receive an refresh. FK8 was released for MY2017 and received a refresh for MY2020...

That single exit center exhaust is super funky.

Saw this yesterday. I'm pretty sure this is what the refreshed 11th gen grille will look like next year. The side profile shots show a protruding lower "chin" similar to the Accord, so that's probably the direction Honda will be taking its sedan designs. Plus this comes out for MY2025 right in...

I agree with CTR, you are probably overthinking this. There will be some minor debris that is caught by the oil filter during the first 1-3 oil changes. Less of a concern with the 1.5T since they are not known to have RTV issues, however, if you were driving a BRZ/86 with the 2.4, I would start...

Do you have a source for this? I hear this a lot, but haven't found any separate part numbers for the break-in oil in my research.

What a flex, bro. Keep the 2 Porsches, buy the Type R, and keep it in the driveway.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, that's what I've been hearing and reading.

How are you liking the DWS06+? I'm leaning towards buying them, but could you comment on road noise and snow / cold wet performance? Are DWS06+ directional tires or not? I couldn't really find any info on the Continental site

Good news! Anecdotal, but my local dealership had zero inventory on the lot for 3 years. Now there's a handful of each model on the lot.
