Yeah mine does that. Never knew what it was for sure though, steering wheel lock is an interesting one, every car has steering lock. I thought it was HVAC system something.

Sounds fine kind of hard to hear with the BG music, but there's only so much we can judge through a video. If they jogged the piping a little they could have an offset exit, EK9 homage, an opportunity to sell a new diffuser, and it would look less controversial aside from adding some...

Takes about 2-3 rains and a bunch of Tesla SUVs, HUmmer EVs, and semi trucks on the same stretch of parkway to dig up to 10 potholes. Every single year, very predictable - don't drive on the left lane going east and don't drive on the middle lane going west. Both directions! I always ask why...

Oh WOW. Glad your run flats did what they were supposed to do. My pothole was probably about the same and same speed, but I was on OEM 19s and luckily I was maybe 1000ft from home. I wouldn't have made it any further, especially without wheel damage. If you have limited wheels and you want to...

I made small wheel cribs out of 2x4s I jack each front corner and put under the wheels, then my low profile jack can reach the center. To me it makes it safer for setting the car back down than coordinating jacks, but it does take longer. It also doesn't get in the way of Jack stands.

Glws, FYI using pictures that aren't yours raises some flags. The off-car photos are the same ones posted by chuuey, presumably who you bought it from a month ago, and you're trying to ditch it already.

Just need some suspension travel for rallycross and you'll have midair stability

I can imagine there's discussions of how big of aero you can put on a street car for liability, in case someone changes it (or it "breaks") and spins out. When you have GTD aero and power, you charge a lot and handpick customers who aren't going to embarrass you.

The cfd plots and discussion are cool, and educational. Describing how the elements make the impact is also fairly generic if you don't need the numbers. These are in tens of pounds, vs the hundreds expected from a giant wang and front splitter/canards on a race car. Otherwise it's just adding...

My wild guess. Some sort of systems test engineer or chemicals engineer background. Appreciation for nuances in formulation and ideal and application factors. Better report style than most mechanical engineers, and cites sources. Thrives in BITOG discussions. 😆

At 4k miles on factory MTF, do you expect the feel to be representative of new OEM fluid? Such that OEM wouldn't also feel "smooth". 90% of owners could stick with OEM, but also 90% of owners could stay stock. Neither of those are likely because racecar. OEM shifter is pretty good, Acuity is...

The consensus is, nobody knows. Magnuson Moss is great to have on your side and certainly tempers some dealers and provides some justification for others on why they care about some mods and don't care about others. Use common sense, and the more you deviate from OEM on any given system, your...

Put a huge obvious camera and motion light system in the rear window of the si. You probably won't want to get wheels since it's the easiest thing to take. You can go wingless with a prl delete, though I'm not a fan of how it looks. Most of all I'm glad you prize the NSX and keep that in the...

😂 Yeah I had the same question to myself until one day I just thought, let's push it and see what happens, and it fell off... dramatically with autoretract.

If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure I paid more markup in 2023 than you did, so probably fair trade. It's a dealer oil change, you aren't missing out on much.

I had my dealer do every 6 months for the 2 years, even though MM was at 70%. I hated going and waiting, but work was super busy then and I had some things I could do waiting in the lobby. I did opt out of the tire rotation after they scratched it (matte wheels are the worst though)...

I would imagine this could be argued as warranty item, or a grace... If not, since these aren't typically wear items, any civic in a junkyard probably has theirs intact. If eBay is $50, probably isn't worth your time.

You guys say to trust the MM, but when I finally caved and changed at 6k (8 months), the MM still said I had like, 40% life left... Chance it could have turned 30% in the next 10 miles. I have school dropoffs before I get on the freeway so car gets to warm up under fairly low load, may help...

"Stiff ride" and "darty" are just adjectives for an "engaging ride" 😆

Toe is set by a tie rod on both sides and doesn't involve unbolting something, so it should be easier to hit a target than camber. A tiny bit on the positive toe in is better than toe out for street
