I'm not sure if I'm mis-reading this, but the steps are:
1. Remove guide pins. (they are press-fit. If you pry them hard, they will take flight. Go easy and work them out).
2. Lift car.
3. Loosen upper strut mount nuts. Just loosen, don't have to take them all the way off.
4. Place hand on...
Not terribly original on my part, but I've had an HKS Legamax on for about 1000 miles and one trip to the track and back (Hallett). Really like the exhaust; makes the most out of this wonderful but terribly non-musical engine, and has minimal drone on the highway. At some speeds none, and at...
Sorry, not on the forums a ton. But yes. I lifted mine up, took the wheels off, did the service mode parking brake retraction thing, and then did the actual mechanical work. Put it all back together and torqued appropriately, and then took it out of service mode. And yes again, no twist if you...
I bought harlaquin's old AP200, and it worked great on my 2019. I put it into service mode and you could hear it retract the EPB, removed rear calipers, pushed in pistons (about the easiest I've ever done with a simple piston press tool and no twisting, just pressing back in), installed pads and...
In trying to be as cheap as possible to get the greatest effect, what would be the order of things or combinations of things to do? For example, could one just run a C&R radiator and expect real gains? Or would they need to combine it with an external oil cooler and a different (2020 OEM...
Sounds like you've made up your mind, but just reinforcing what jasonjm said. Even having a Mustang with back seats, with my three bigger kids the fun car was sitting in the garage too much (I have an Expedition for a daily due to work). Bought a CTR, and I'd estimate I use it about 3x more...
Cool product, but the price is too close to a MaxJax. And in fact is what I paid for a MaxJax about 6 years ago. MaxJax is essentially a small 2 post lift that's bolted to the floor, but can be unbolted and the posts moved for storage. Rated for 6000lbs, and being a normal 2-post there's no...
Sorry, not on the forums a ton.
If you look at the OEM throttle pedal, it is mounted on three studs. Actually, just go unclip the electronic connector and undo the three nuts and take the pedal off, and it'll all be very clear. Perrin gives you a couple spare nuts to thread onto the stud being...
Was in the same situation with a slightly different car. Had an S550 Mustang GT Performance Pack, with tons of suspension mods bringing it up to about SS 1LE cornering levels. I drove a couple to compare, and overall feel and performance was similar. Amazing track car, amazing sounds, fun to...
As someone noted earlier, this motor has no balance shafts and thus DOES have some vibration. Most modern engines don't vibrate much if at all, so it's a little different. May be why it feels like it wants to fly apart at 3000rpm; I don't get that vibe (see what I did there?), but if you were...
MediaMaster, I've got the Motegi MR924s; Tirerack exclusive wheel, and Type R specific fitment (hubcentric). And Pretty cheap. They are 19x8.5, ET53. So very close to NSX fronts. Hard to compare handling because I changed to Yokohama V601s (their brand new Max Performance tire), which don't have...
Nice part. I tried the competitors first, but indeed it positions the pedal too high relative to the brake pedal. Fine just tooling around town, but once you get deep into the brakes driving more aggressively your throttle is simply too high to reach easily with the outside of your foot. Then I...
I got 3000 miles out of mine, or more accurately out of my fronts. Figured I'd rotate them after my first track day in the car, but destroyed the front shoulders in two sessions and that was that. Even if the shoulders hadn't chunked, they are basically on the wear bars anyway. Rears are in...
In sheer dry grip, the Continentals are hard to beat for a tire that's not considered an R-comp or 'tweener' tire (like the RE-71R, RT615K+, etc.). Other than that, IMO, the tires aren't great. Sidewalls are too soft, they won't take any abuse without chunking, I felt like for a 30-series tire...
As a 44 year old who only occasionally uses mine for DD duties, I'd say it's fine once you swap out wheels and tires. I'm on 19s with 255/35s, and that's working well for me. And I didn't even take issue with the ride of the 20s, it's the (reasonable) fear of damage that's the problem. And tire...
Late to the party I realize, but from the look of your alignment sheet I think you could make a small adjustment toward toe out (negative) on the LF wheel and it may straighten out your wheel while staying in spec (or you could toe in your RF). I've done a lot of home alignments with jack stands...
I'm not sure I read every post on this thread, but maybe they are raising the price because they can? Because the car is in extremely high demand? It's been out for at least two full years now, and last I checked in my area a week or so ago (Kansas City) there wasn't a car on the lot or even...
I used to own an aftermarket parts business, but I'm tapped out on modding cars and plan (plan) to keep the CTR stock. It's why I bought it, as it's pre-modded from Honda for my convenience. I will go down to 18s or 19s eventually, could fathom a cat-back for a little more sound, and will do...
The Mustangs on KW coilovers rode fairly well (less well on OEM stuff), but the CTR rides better in Comfort and Sport. I was shocked, honestly, how good the ride is. Easily work for a cross-country highway trip, and I can imagine it only gets better if you drop down to 19s or 18s for a little...
I guess it's not necessarily high volume, but 4000-ish per year in the USA (the numbers I've seen) is downright impressive for a $35k Civic. And they are still hard to get in some places. In comparison, they sold less than 4000 ITRs over the four year model run. I'd consider that low volume.
