Stock Type R. Not too loud or ricey at all. If itās not loud enough for you, there are two resonators at the front. Cut one off. Still not loud enough, cut the other one off.
itās been great. inside of the air box and MAF passed the filter are squeaky clean. i vacuumed out the larger debris after winter and rotated the element. it was getting dirtiest in the half closest to the MAF, so I rotated the element within the frame so the cleaner part that was closer to the...
Iāve had good experiences with Royal Purple. I used to run their XPR oil in my Saleen and my 1LE Camaro for track days. Always got the job done. But I also believe for the most part, oil is oil. Rotella T6 did just as well in the Camaro. Wear metals were low and the engine ran smooth.
thereās a...
Yeah the CVT is one of the least inspiring transmissions Iāve ever driven. I really wish Honda would back the 1.5T with the 8-speed dual clutch in the Acura ILX
if youāre just now getting in to cars and track days, 100% the MOST important thing to get, is just more seat time. Donāt worry about modifying the car for any additional performance, focus on reliability mods and just more time behind the wheel.
Intercooler is subject to visual inspection in CA. Greddy has several intercoolers that are CARB legal.
Will the smog tech actually check the intercooler? Maybe, maybe not. But if he does, and it isnāt a CARB legal piece, it will fail inspection.
Iāve been addicted to squash for years. I actually use 3...
I have the standard Squash CS-X3 air spencer in spot near the USB under the center. I have a Treefrog black squash fresh box under the driver seat... and a Giga Clip squash in the air vent
Amsoil is good oil. No argument there. Iāve used it in the past. But after all these years and all the cars Iāve had, the question I ask myself is: is something like Amsoil really necessary? Under normal working conditions and oil change interval, is something like Amsoil (or Redline or...
no, from everything Iāve seen something about the FK7 needs unique front struts. The diameter of the strut at the knuckle is different than the sedan, coupe, or Type R or something like that. Coilovers not made for the FK7 may or may not fit.
yep got mine for $100 on Amazon. Can do full oil changes on the GTI without lifting the car (oil filter is accessible from the top) and drain the oil from the Civic, only need to lift to get the filter.
also great if youāre worried about oil dilution with the 1.5T. Super easy to just pump out...
MityVac fluid evacuator.
If you get it in to the oil pan just right, itāll drain it almost completely. You can put it up on stands after and pull the drain plug if you like, only about a shot glass worth more comes out over a few minutes of dripping.
someone with a Sport or Sport Touring hatch will buy it. Type R exhaust fits Sport hatchback with minimal modification. Just had to trim the exhaust finisher in the bumper. All the hangers and everything are direct bolt on.
fitting the Type R exhaust to a SI sedan or coupe will require some...
