I didn't use any special software for the ebrake when I replaced the rear pads and rotors. Just turn off the ebrake before you start and use the standard brake caliper piston twisting tool. I think the only real difference with this type of ebrake is that when you bleed things, you're supposed...

Yeah, bottom right. It got hot enough to melt the surrounding plastic a bit.

Just thought I'd toss this info out there. I was getting the charging error on my dash followed by all the brake, steering, etc notices popping up after. Wasn't the alternator and wasn't the battery. I also did the Android Telemetry app data clear and force stop to see if it was just a dumb...

Thanks for the info. I have the SPC, was hoping whiteline would toss me just a liitttttlllee bit more :p

Does that Whiteline lower ball joint offer more camber than the SPC one?

Maybe check all the calipers and make sure the mounting bolts are there and tight.

I tossed a full size spare in my trunk, but not in any nice fitted way. I just literally tossed it into the trunk corner. Doesn't move around, but you do lose a good deal of trunk space. So trying to put something large in there can become a pain.

Oh, awesome. Thanks for the info! Coming from evo EcuFlash, we flash over EVERYTHING. So I was a little concerned.

CA Smog has started to check VIN and CVN when they access the ODBII. I know we have the "Return to Factory" flash option, but I was curious if the Factory Tune that gets flashed back includes the correct VIN and CVN. Failure to have those will now get you state ref'd. My original plan when I...

There's this which is supposed to work on Sport/Si/Type R: https://groundcontrolstore.com/collections/civic-crx-del-sol-coilover-conversion/products/2017-10th-generation-honda-civic-type-r-coilover-conversion

Could check out Speed Element in San Jose.

Do you keep your keyfob close to your house door? There's been breakins and thefts of cars where a thief will keep a signal booster near your door and amplify the signal from the fob. The car then thinks the key is nearby and will respond to someone just opening the door.

Sorry, no video. Startup has a pretty deep rumble and you can feel a minor vibration in the seats. Overall cabin sound definitely increases but nothing loud enough to block out your audio. Taking phone calls may be a bit more problematic. The feedback from turning, applying gas, and shifting...

Bought this to help with the wheel hop and get a little better feel from the car itself. It did the job but the noise and vibration are a little much for my daily driver. It has some scratches and scuffs as you do have to do a little shoving to get that thing in. At least removal/install of the...

I do every 5K. Let's say it's even a little overkill to change that often, it's still better for the engine.

I used Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30. You need two quarts and will also want to pick up a new crush washer. Granted the washer is super thick and probably could be reused, but I prefer to just use new when I can.

It seems to be 32 ft-lbs for the torque spec. according to the amsoil site.

Switched to the Amsoil recently. So far the shifting it definitely much smoother. There's still a tiny bit of crunch, but no where near as bad as it used to be. Just an FYI, even with the fill plug removed first, the fluid still kinda bloops out the drain instead of being a nice steady stream...

Single or dual tip. Though the biggest thing for me will be if the exhaust has good weight savings.

I ended up installing these today. If you plan on doing this, do not think you can install and then drive to an alignment center. After we did these and the strut alignment pin removal, the toe out was huge. So huge that when we put it on the hunter rack it displayed a total toe out of 5 degrees...
