This has been a long time coming, as I’ve spent the better part of 2 years ironing out the best solution for a high performance intake system. I was becoming frustrated with the poor performance of aftermarket short ram intakes; they suffer badly from heat soak, cause tuning issues, and are...

When it comes to increasing the cooling efficiency of a radiator, it is necessary to seal all of its’ edges along the intake path to prevent air from leaking, or moving around, the cooling fins. Doing so effectively increases cooling efficiency, reduces lift, and makes the car more...

So, I’ve been running all of the Ultra Racing chassis braces for some time now, and it really transformed the car’s handling. Which got me thinking, what other ways could I stiffen the chassis without adding too much weight or resorting to extreme/impractical measures like seam welding the...

https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-owners-are-blocking-tesla-superchargers-in-ice-ing-protests-2018-12 I think this is just ridiculous. EV’s/plug-in hybrids have been on the road for a long time, and never in significant numbers to “endanger” their precious fuel guzzlers. It’s not like...

I was dealing with a constant CEL from P0139 after installing the RV6 downpipe despite having P0420 switched off. I turned the defouler in a far as it would go, but no luck. I used shorter nonfoulers, but still no change, so, just to experiment, I installed the sensor straight into the downpipe...

So I got the bar installed in the car today and took it for a few test runs on the back roads, and I can definitively say that there is a huge improvement. Body roll is significantly reduced compared to stock, and the handling is much closer to neutral, without so much as a hint of oversteer. I...

Lately, I ditched my K24 manifold in favor of the stock unit, albeit modified. What I did was remove the cutout that is located directly behind the throttle plate. I also radiused the outlets of the individual runners (not pictured). This is designed to reduce turbulence caused by the...

Personally, I have found myself removing the throttle body frequently when swapping manifolds, test-fitting intakes, porting, etc. and having to repeatedly deal with spilled coolant has been tiresome, so I opted to install a bypass to make it less of a hassle. Also, I have noticed when...

It doesn't do me much good, but I thought some of you 1.5'ers might find this interesting. http://afepower.com/afe-power-tm-1024b-r-takeda-stage-2-pro-5r-cold-air-intake-system#add-ons-packages Promises 13hp/13tq max gains over stock. Completely polymer construction to prevent heat soak, and...

So, lately I have been combing through the performance segment of the aftermarket, calling some of the more hardcore manufacturers to see if/what they plan on developing for the 10th gen. And last week I got lucky, Hybrid Racing is in my neck of the woods and they do have plans for building up...

To start, the 6MT Civic LX comes from the factory with a soggy shift assembly. The engagement is neither positive nor crisp. It almost feels misaligned. When stepping on the accelerator, you can feel the engine wind up in its’ mushy mounts as the rpm’s build, and feel as the car’s drivetrain...
