I was washing my car last week and noticed a lot of the fins on the intercooler are flattened quite a bit. Can't possibly be good for airflow. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMW31P2 Has anyone used something like this to refresh the fin spacing on their intercooler? I owned my car for a few years...

My car was side-swiped in a low speed collision last year. Traffic queued behind a turning vehicle, and the dummy that hit me didn't check before pulling out to pass. I had already signaled and was passing. My car (coupe) was struck toward the rear of the driver door and the body panel further...

First and foremost: I have watched Jason Fenske's channel for years. Huge fan. I love his coverage of topics to cater toward the numerically inclined and challenged alike. He is a whiteboard wizzard, for sure. So in this video, the pt he shows about the chemical advantage of ethanol blends...

I have, like many others, lost a few of those quarter-turn fasteners over time. Some months ago, I bought a set of replacements off of Amazon. The set has been circulating on our forums as a full replacement. The other day, I'm under the car to change the oil and filter for a B1 Maintenance, and...

I'm pretty good with electrical and wiring, but having some trouble visualizing what I need for what I want. Here is the plan... I have an ethanol sensor kit, which uses the ECT2 input for readings. I'd like to wire a sensor pigtail and a toggle switch so I can have the Eth sensor and the ECT2...

A little bit ago I was on my typical jaunt to get fuel and some snacks-one of those pleasant drives for thinking and also clearing the mind. I digress... I passed a row of cars stopped behind a turning car, and the one in front of me blindly went to do the same; when I was about halfway ahead...

Will this be the last generation of Civic with combustion engines? ?‍♂️ As we see more models and sales numbers, generally, pushing manual transmissions out of the market... Will tuning go fully after-market manual, or will CVTs get love, before it's mostly electric?

I have Michelin PS4S tires. Not asking to trade or offering for sale... Yet. Next summer, I will have new tires. This is the way. How many 32nds of remaining tread is appropriate to offer for sale or attempt to sell to a business? They were my first summer tires ever, and aren't down to the wear...

I took my summer tires off last weekend. Been COVIDling for close to 9 months now, so it's not like I got a legit season of use out of my summer tires. I forget the exact counts, but I have like 2-4 32nds left across all four of my PS4S. I didn't even go to the drag strip this year, so it's...

I've had my 2017 EX-L for coming up on 4 years. I'm 100% WFH through the year and likely midway through 2021. So, the car has been COVIDling like mad. My battery drained a while ago and that caused me problems with OBDII Emissions Readiness. Time for a new battery. I do some occasional...

There _is_ a product. https://www.twostepperformance.com/products/honda-l15b-turbo-helical-limited-slip-differential-lsd Any reason it wouldn't work on a CVT? Any thoughts on cost to install, or effort to DIY?

I installed the app to the headunit a week ago. I was able to pair and put in the pin. Only one time since does it connect. I have the v2 in the BT device list on the unit, but there are never any available options but "Delete." So I don't think it is connecting to the car. The KTuner unit...

Just took my car for PA Inspection. Was told I failed due to "not ready" status on OBD. I know I am allowed one not ready for OBD Emissions... And I have P0420 disabled for my downpipe, which may be my one. Does anyone know if the required ECU Disables for the flex fuel kit to work would...

Long awaited folks... Here's what will become our more performant CVT. Inexpensive, and easy to repair! CVT Dream, one piece at a time

My data is sparse and largely anecdotal... However, driving very spirited after having installed (and enabled in existing tune) an ethanol sensor, I am getting better fuel economy. I was filling with ~E20 blend for the last 6-10 months, before the ethanol sensor was installed, and got around...

LTDR: I want to know how to go about tuning ignition timing on my own. Then, if needed, fuel. To the latter, I read an interesting post from someone (I may add link. Apologies for not having it at hand to begin) about software to remap fuel trims. Background: I've custom-tuned, myself, using...

Installed my kit yesterday. I was afraid I had connected the single-wire connection wrong. The instructions seemed to indicate it goes into the white plug lodged in the radiator. But both are female, so I connected to what I had unplugged down there. This thread can be deleted. But it isn't...

I had a custom tune I made, pretty much a rescaling of the boost table from the ktuner OTS Tune, that gave BBG and RPM transitions a little more fine-grained adjustment paired with more boost. I never had a problem running it. For over half a year. A bit ago I would get a CEL and codes thrown...

I was maybe half through an oil change interval when I parked my car the day before "lockdown." Exterior-wise: If I take the time, I will strip, bar, and wax. Else, I will combo wax/polish wash with a hand polish. And, this may be extreme, at what storage interval do these need to be...

I have a Mishimoto Can right now. However, will be adding an ethanol sensor kit and won't have compatible mount location. What's a good can folks are using? It'd be super sweet (I'd pay more) if it had a float/dip gauge and a drain tube with valve.
