  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. 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.
  6. 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...
  7. NorCal CTR Meet 2026

    That group pic is epic. Nice!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. California FK8/FL5/DE5 Front Lower Strut Camber Adjusters

    They look exactly like whiteline, but whiteline has their name printed on the edge.
  11. 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...
  12. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Lol I looked. Carbing is more than origin??
  13. 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.
  14. Chilly's 2025 FL5 Civic Type R Build

    Aw I thought you were going to go origin fab for the coolant tank
  15. Got my USA FL5 Type R with build paper from Japan, what does this mean ?

    The first guy thought the vin would end in 9, but the guy with the big pen corrected him :p
  16. God Spec info 18x10 +40 (pictures, alignment specs, tire info)

    The x10 is a little tricky to think of, but compared to x9.5 there really isn't much difference except how the tire stretches on the wheel. The big factors are tire section width (e.g. 265, 275, etc) and offset (+40, +38, +60). 275 +38 fits with ~2* of camber. If you have a drop you might be...
  17. What is everyone using for lug nuts?

    Mcgard has lots of options so check their website to make sure the variation and length are what you need, and get the right part number. I recall they sell on summit, Walmart, and sometimes Amazon. At the time Walmart was the cheapest. Kics and Rays do look really nice but relatively...
  18. Brake squeaking at low speed

    Funny you post this... I've seen these posts and I've been telling everybody it's probably a rock in the dust shield, as I had it once every couple months, but lately it's every day.. last oil change I still had a lot of pad life left but it sounds like a scraping sound only 1-35~mph, not on brakes.
  19. Whirrin/ mechanical sound from dash/steering column at startup and shut down.

    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.
  20. Mugen Group-B Exhaust Sound

    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...
