  1. What’s the safest tire option to run on 19x9.5 35+ if I plan on running RSR lowering Springs that drop the rears and fronts 1.6 inches?

    I know on a 9.5 you can run as small as a 245 safely, up to a 275 safely. Stretching on either end. Not totally sure about how the width will play into offset with a Type R, but I figure some 255/40zr19s all the way around would do that car justice. Seeing you're also from the south, I recommend...
  2. Best general mods for handling/general performance cvt.

    It depends on budget, size, etc. But Fitment Industries has a lot of options. Just understand that most wheels around $1k are going to be cheaply constructed and will not hold up to the likes of Rays, BBS, etc. in terms of durability on potholes. But I liked my Avid1s for the price, Enkei is the...
  3. Best general mods for handling/general performance cvt.

    In my experience, it was pretty noticeable. With my FK7, I went from the stock EX-L wheels you see pictured in my pfp to some Avid1 AV20s, and despite going up a tire size to 18" and going wider, I saved 44lb overall with the lighter wheels and combining that with the stickier tires, the car...
  4. Best general mods for handling/general performance cvt.

    Member from before the current times here. I've gotta piggyback off what gtman said here- he's good at putting things out there well but I feel more needs to be said here. Tires are the make or break for the performance of your car. Think about it, tires are the ONLY contact to the road. I used...
  5. what turbo should I put in my FK7 CVT?

    Very good points here. Back when I had a FK7 I merely had PRL's Race MAF intake, exhaust work, and a Phearable 1.5 and 1.5R tunes. With some guestimation between the mods, the high quality 93 + 1-1.5 gal of e85 (if you have quality 93 you don't need the extra e85, it was a personal preference...
  6. Road Trip Tips?

    True. Wonder if the guy survived... But, it's also good stuff in general to know before long road-trips. I frequently take trips in my Stinger and it's all things I either already take into account, or have learned from here and currently take into account. Last major road trip I went from...
  7. Can't Find my Model in the list

    May want to contact Hondata to confirm, but AFAIK the EX has the 1.5T, so as long as you match a sedan/coupe 1.5T to your car (not the hatchback 1.5t, those are slightly different and have weaker internals), you ought to be fine.
  8. 2.0L 2020 2.0L Sport Sedan is Garbage?

    Yeah I nearly made the same mistake when I owned a Civic. Almost bought a 2020 Sport sedan with some fancy options tacked on, but thankfully realized before buying it wasn't going to be worth while. If I had to recommend anything, it would be the Accord Sport 2.0T. Can come in 6mt or 10at, is...
  9. 1.5T Starting to Mod - Intake Questions

    If it's a "street MAF" then a tune technically isn't required, however some intakes do have weird MAF sizes that do require tunes (last I knew, Injen intakes and K&N systems too) to fix issues. Like gtman said, I would go with a tune. If you want more refined power, go buy your Ktuner from TSP...

  13. Subwoofer Install Guide FK7

    I used a PAC SNI-15, but just about any LOC will work. Just beware that a lot of brands have cheap components and tend to distort easily. Check out this and this videos on LOCs and what's good and isn't. Anything from PAC, AudioControl are great.
  14. FK7 vs Stinger GT2...

    Yes, the interior is nice but I hate the rear visibility quite a bit. I can always lower my seat down to be able to see out the rear window better, but if I do that I lose the HUD display due to how short I am. Can't seem to win on that front, but otherwise it isn't the worst ever. Camaro SS I...
  15. FK7 vs Stinger GT2...

    Of course, I understand. Kia seems to have turned things around in recent years, and I sure hope it has. Yes, the Stinger has been discontinued, however the motor and transmission are the same found in the Genesis g70, g80, and g90 (pre-3.5L V6). Hopefully that means parts will be rather...
  16. FK7 vs Stinger GT2...

    Thanks for the correction! I could've swore they were DCTs, but you're right, just typical 8 speed auto. But dang, for it not being DCT it sure does shift fast and smoothly. Very impressive imo. I like the Borla Type S Exhaust as well, but man is it expensive. At least compared to what we had...
  17. FK7 vs Stinger GT2...

    I sure hope my Stinger lasts. I'm already at 43,000 miles w/o issues and hoping for many more. I haven't seen catastrophic failure on the Stinger forums, but there also isn't a thread like what Gtman's done for us, compiling tuning data and such. Maybe something for me to carry the tradition of...
  18. FK7 vs Stinger GT2...

    Long time forum member here. Sold my 2018 Civic Hatchback EX-L a while back and bought into a 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD, and wanted to offer a comparison. I loved my Civic, but the Stinger definitely scratches a lot more of the itch for performance I have. Two totally different cars for...
  19. 1.5T Should I be careful when I shift to "Sport"

    If you have a CVT, it does nothing except change ECU programming when "shifting" into S. Same with L. ECU raises RPMs, changes throttle response, adjusts boost targets, etc. and it might adjust the belts in the CVT I think, but it shouldn't cause any harm "shifting" into S while driving. It...
