One benefit is that in the event of an emergency (say the driver has a medical issue), pulling the e-brake button will apply full braking force to all 4 wheels until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, at which point the parking brake motors will engage. Something like that is not possible w/...
I believe that hose is just connecting to the coolant pipe that crosses over that area. Look at the FK8 engine bay and you'll see the same thing. In this case it's just covered up by this unknown piece.
Why start with a poorly engineered part on your car and then wonder why your LTFTs are +/- 15? People saw it all the time on the 10th gen with these cut-rate intakes. edit: not going to argue about this other than to say, if you are starting with poor fuel trims, while yes, your car is...
The MAF table still needs to be rescaled though if the MAF housing size changes. That's just a universal fact for how MAF sensors work. They sense air-flow. Put that same MAF sensor in a larger housing and for the same air-flow reading, more air will actually be entering the intake due to a...
The K&N intake might be fine, might be not. These types of companies typically just slap together some tubing with the same sized MAF housing and call it a day w/o much real engineering or data collection. Just because the MAF housing diameter is the same doesn't mean that air flow through the...
They aren't showing the 11th gen as being available on their site yet, but https://servoppf.com/ has been great to work with for my 10th gen. They'll price you whatever sort of kit you are looking for
I MIGHT be able to forgive Honda for putting in a weak-ass clutch for the 10th gen seeing as how it was an all new drivetrain for them, but considering that they went with a whole new SMF (and I assume a sprung friction disc), to not upgrade the torque handling ability of it in the 11th gen is a...
I feel pretty much as you do. The exterior of the 11th gen sedan is just too generic looking for me. The front end of the Si is decent enough looking, but the rear looks like every other commuter car out there. Personally, the fake vents on the 10th gen never really bothered me, and at least...
