  1. RTA Filter tool?

    I've used a rubber strap wrench on every filter in the last 20 years.... Maybe takes 10 more seconds to use, but it's likely in the same position from last time, is one piece to find in the box, and always works. Also, the instructions include turn by number, and markers are on the filter body...
  2. Acura Nexera Vision Concept

    I guess I don't see much design language shared between them except the nose to eye-mask "T" and maybe headlight cues on the accord and NSX, but the jewel headlights originated on the RLX. Yeah there's "brake ducts" but Honda has always had some version of those. I'm thankful the NSX evolved...
  3. Acura Nexera Vision Concept

    When manufacturers make a concept that everybody goes oOooooh... And then they get disappointed every time when the design language gets gimped beyond recognition. Subaru might be the worst offender of this, having concepts that look like it could pass for production. They can and will borrow...
  4. Auto body / mechanic shops for Type R (near Orange County, CA)

    Sorry that sucks, had similar case here. Get a dashcam with parking mode, if you can. OEM is always a battle, california insurance law allows use of aftermarket and used parts as long as it performs and fits the same. The shop is a big factor in how willing they are to reject it when it isn't...
  5. Dealer discount tire price

    That's fine, you can expect people will recommend ps4s until you mention cold weather. If you only got 5000mi, maybe you have some track time or autox on those, but if you're just commuting and scooting around town, you should get your alignment checked. Especially if you're going to dws for...
  6. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Where did you get the light? I've wanted to do this since I got the car
  7. Engine Internals Power Ceiling

    It is essentially this. Honda has limits that they need to meet, reliability across conditions. They will have a ceiling of parts rejects and warranty returns, still want to be able to run 87 octane without grenading, and use most of the same Honda parts bin. Their customer base will still...
  8. HONDATA has been purchased by EPT

    Going bankrupt or being shut down by the gov is not a business decision, but cashing out should be an option - as disappointing to others as it is... at least as much as continuing to navigate the market CAFE standards is fuel efficiency for auto manufacturers, it is not related to this. COBB...
  9. HONDATA has been purchased by EPT

    My recollection of the matter is that when dealing with government agencies on settlements, if you don't show good faith, they can and will end you. They probably could have left more there, but they were under some of the highest scrutiny to survive. It's a gamble either way, but surviving is...
  10. HONDATA has been purchased by EPT

    I disagree. There is a philosophical divergence in business that you can either bean count your market position by leverage and numbers, or focus on good product and customer service where it adds value for customers and earn market position. The former doesn't care about the customer, sales...
  11. SUMA Side Mirrors

    Take a video of the white bracket not being securely held in by the mirror back. I didn't take a photo after I put it on the suma mirror, but I recall everything fit very securely like OEM, which was a pain itself to separate.
  12. Off Topic: Wood/Coal Cooking

    I have a NG pipe outside for a gas grill, but I only use a Weber kettle. It's very consistent, just takes 15 minutes to get started, but worth it every time for anything from burgers to steaks and chicken. I have a pizza stone setup too but TBH it's a PITA. On charcoal it gets up to like 450-500...
  13. NorCal CTR Meet 2026

    That group pic is epic. Nice!
  14. Scissor door conversion

    Maybe dihedral synchro-helix doors (Koenigsegg) and then reverse/suicide orientation for the rear doors. Haven't seen these things since early 2000s hot import nights, import showoff, alongside underglow, 20" kicker subs, chrome taillights, and fuzzy dice.
  15. Wrapped the shift surround

    Nice! I haven't decided what to use my wrap square on. Has a nice pop, camo colors match, and is center in the cabin.
  16. California SOLD

    They look exactly like whiteline, but whiteline has their name printed on the edge.
  17. 30lb weight saving with LiFePO4 battery - is it worth it?

    Offering two of the more expensive options available to a guy who barely considered wheels before today.. is wicked! They are very reputable, strong, and lightweight, but tend to run you 5k+. "Lightweight" wheels will save you about 6-9lbs per corner. Looks, rarity, and forged/cast will drive...
  18. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Lol I looked. Carbing is more than origin??
  19. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Got it. The bare metal does look nice on either. Origins looks better than an expansion tank ever should, also is harder to get and costs more than one ever should.
  20. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Aw I thought you were going to go origin fab for the coolant tank
