Thanks for sharing this. I sent a petition to be accepted in this group. My request is apparently still pending. Among the choices for joining, the joining form asked me if I was in Chicago, Illinois, or neither. I submitted with Illinois because I don't know if Naperville is counted as...
I can see the rub marks near the edge of the tire tread (near the outside tire wall), and I can see that the fender lip is already deformed into a V at the top of the fender arch. It looks clean still, just the metal that would have been flat horizontal is tucked up into the inside of the...
Yes, it's a 2018 Civic Si. Just to make sure I understand, with a reduced offset (from 35 to 45) the tire would be further inside the wheel well, correct? Couldn't that lead to rubbing on full turns?
I'm starting to explore suspension mods and fender rolling, if I can get it done by a...
What does “releasing the pins” do, exactly?
Just not crazy about the possible look of tires at an angle. Maybe camber adjustments don’t necessarily mean looking like they are angled? (Perpendicular to the street when at rest, but traveling at an angle when hitting a bump.)
Isn’t there any way to figure out what to change without buying a lot of parts I might not need? I have about two finger widths of space there and I see other cars with fractions of an inch there, so I assume they just made it much stiffer to reduce the vertical range of travel.
Thanks @AlphaDigital.
Just as a clarification on my initial post -- my car is not lowered at all, this is the original suspension. Regardless, I get your point, there isn't enough room there for the additional sidewall.
When you mention changing the suspension, what exactly do you mean...
I have a 2018 Civic Si and recently (finally) replaced the OEM rims/wheels with 255/40R18 Michelin Pilot tires on an 18x8.5 35offset rim. The result looks great! (Attached photo.) However, now I'm noticing fender rubbing when I hit bumps at speed. It's unsettling. I thought there was plenty...
I was wondering about that.
While I had been waiting for the TSP 1+ tune file, I ran for a week on the KTuner 23psi tune and saw a jump of 6-7mpg according to the dashboard with my usual style of driving and even occasionally pushing it. It seemed like I could easily hit or exceed the 28 mpg...
I have to admit that I cannot tell the difference with and without rev hang. Where would I notice it? On upshifts? Does rev hang mean it kind of flywheels at higher RPM briefly before dropping to meet the next gearing engagement? Maybe I’m not an aggressive enough driver to see it.
Reading all of these posts about the One+ tune is pretty exciting and I did purchase it finally. While waiting for the tune file in email, I flashed with one of the default tune files included with KTuner a couple days ago (23psi with no difference between normal and sport). I only did a...
Confused about one thing: I have not bought the KTuner unit yet and I could plan to buy it from TSP, but to get the Stage 1+ tune would I buy the full price one after buying the KTuner module from then or would I qualify for the upgrade price on top of buying the KTuner bundle from TSP, or would...
