Nice find. That fitment against the spokes is exactly what my BBS SR 18x8 +44 wheels looked like, so I bought these 2mm spacers from AU in order to get proper clearance to the caliper and also allow the hub centric ring to still be able to get a good grip on the hub...

I'm a trust but verify kind of guy when it comes to these websites, particularly with big brakes and weird wheel combos. Fitment lists theirs as being 64.1mm center bore, so they should be hub centric.

Ahhh okay. You're saying you got them from someone else who put them on a Pilot. So assuming Fitment's picture is correct, that wheel has 20 holes and yours seems to have 18?

I am all for it if it works. The ones on Fitment Industries may work, but there's no telling if they're the same design as the Honda Pilot OEM ones you have.

The steelies he went with are interesting as well and apparently came off a Honda Pilot too? @SeanMcc23 do you have a part number for those? As for the alloys you linked, the +50 would be in a decent offset range (and better than the +44 on my BBS SR wheels) but I would be a little bit...

Here's something that should really drive the point home. This is the oil viscosity chart for a 2GR-FKS in the US: And now the chart for the same engine in Australia:

I run 0W-40 and it will sheer down (verified by UOA testing) to just above the 0W-30 range, but without giving me any grief on cold starts. There's not a huge argument to be made against 0W-40 or 0W-30 vs. the US spec 0W-20 - the additives just need to be right for the particular engine. Our...

I would say that a good quality 5W-40 or 0W-40 would be a suitable upgrade for track duty. Remember that the first number is cold weather viscosity, and the second number is high temperature viscosity. If cold weather isn't a concern, pick a 5W-something. If it is, probably stick with...

I looked at steelies, but I did not see any that would clear the CTR/ITS brakes and be in the right offset range. These were the closest I found, but would not have the needed brake clearance: https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/RTX-X48564/rtx-winter-steel-18x8-40

Snow tires don't help when it gets deeper than the ground clearance of the car. You'll just get stuck further into the snow.

Yup! I just want to take it apart and play around with it without having the car down. We'll see if I can find a McMaster Carr SKU that gives it like a 50% boost or whatever.

Thanks, got one ordered.

Have you got a part number for the pedal? I'd actually like to buy one to experiment on. I want it to be heavier, as it is when I'm not using cruise control for long durations, my shin starts to ache from holding my foot up off the pedal.

I would be out the door so damn fast!

As is common, I am going narrower with the winter set to help reduce hydroplaning on slush. All good winter tires will have mediocre to bad lateral handling characteristics in the dry, so a tire the same width as stock isn't strictly necessary or even useful. I don't drive my cars hard when...

Yes, don't consider a GL-5 in any weight for this or nearly any other manual transmission. They usually contain sulfur-phosphorus extreme pressure (EP) additive, which is great for a hypoid gear in a ring/pinion differential. Our cars on the other hand, being FWD only, do not have hypoid gears...

If you're specifically concerned about this, the Integra Type S completely lacks the "Telematics Control Unit" or "TCU" module that phones home via cellular/LTE. Food for thought. I also believe that the module can be unplugged and even fully removed in the CTR. It's under the center dash...

It's hard to kill a gearbox with too thick of an oil. It's easy to kill a gearbox with the wrong additive package and wreck your synchros. That said, our FK8/FL5/DE5 gearboxes have an internal oil pump so there's an additional failure mode: cavitation destroying the oil pump. Viscosity being...

Those two statements are completely at odds, and this is why your first response to this thread should be edited/corrected:
