I grew up in the Boston area and lived in the West Hartford area for a couple years. It was a bit more affordable 10 years ago, but I don't see myself moving back East any time soon... I'm making more money and my cost of living is way lower here in the Kansas City area!
Sure, taxes may be a...
Yup, this is how I do it as well - 2x/year during oil changes
If you have a CAI/SRI, it's best to keep a spare filter, as cleaning the filter and letting it dry takes HOURS
Those are 17x9 +40 wheels.
You can see the "Inset 45" is closer to outside of the wheel and the "40" is closer to where the machined mounting surface is.
I'm guessing these are Enkei TS5 wheel? They also make 17x9 wheels for 5x110 bolt pattern but with +45 offset. I'm guessing the wheels...
Considering you probably owe close to $10k on a used 2016 model, I wouldn't then dump $5k+ to convert the CVT to 6mt lol. And do you have a 2nd car if this becomes your project car? Something else to think about...
You should be fine with that wheel spec, since it matches OE wheel specs. The only thing you'd have to be worried about is the shape of the spoke for brake clearance, but the slipstreams look more convex, so you should be okay.
Yes, you'd need new lug nuts. The OEM ones have a ball seat...
This thread got bumped right when I found out I need adjustable toe arms lol
Firestone said they maxed out the factory eccentric and it was just spinning and not moving. They didn't touch my adjustable rear camber arms, though.. Rear toe on one side was about 0.22 deg vs the 0.04-0.16 deg range.
You already have the TSP 1 stage tune so I'd go by TSP's advertised numbers on that. Adding a CAI doesn't automatically give you a higher number after you already have the tune. You'd need a custom tune to realize any additional gains.
Yup, no camber plates. I have the Wunderladen washers in to lock max negative camber at -0.8°. You'd want adjustable ball joints if you need more negative camber than that!
BFG Comp-2 All Seasons are pretty good for their price, however, longevity leaves something to be desired. On my 3rd gen TL, those tires lasted like 25-30k miles.
On my Si, I'm already over 30k on the DWS06+ and still have 6/32" tread left.
Surely OP can use $700 out of that $60k AWD Civic...
Spent the day getting them on. Oh ya, I agree that HKS def nailed it with the height out of the box! Thanks for the suggestion on making the rear stiffer - I have 15F/18R right now, but might play with the settings in the future. It felt pretty good on a short test drive, but I didn't drive too...
Just a few of the front end!
I did snap this after I got the wheels back on. Ride height looks pretty good out of the box - ~0.7" - 0.9" drop before it settles
No, I didn't do the adjustable ball joints. And the HKS coilovers don't have adjustable top hats, so I reinstalled the Wunderladen lock washers. I got -0.9° on front camber with those lock washers on the old Ktuned lowering spring setup.
