  1. CVT revs high/feels sluggish from cold start?

    I have a '16 ext and it's always been sluggish at first in the cold. As in, at a given rpm, it accelerates slower in winter after a cold start. I always figured the fluids in the transmission were cold resulting in more friction/power loss until warmed up. It's not really noticable if you're...
  2. Which tire would you go with ??

    I've had DWS 06 on my car since it was new in April 2016 and they're great. They are, however, going to transfer more road imperfections to the car than the stock tires or those Goodyears, but they are much more responsive and enjoyable to drive on. It should be noted that the Michelin Pilot...
  3. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+?

    I've got DWS06 on my car and I like them, although they seem a little noisy. I don't have much to compare it to, I changed out my wheels/tires almost immediately, but I imagine the stock tires are quieter. The A/S 3+ are grippier than the DWS06 and literally at the opposite end of the...
  4. Oil Level Increase

    Yeah I'm going to send it in when I get the kit. Luckily I used a totally clean container for the old oil.
  5. Oil Level Increase

    I did my second oil change today, first was done by the dealer. ~8500 miles on this one, just over 16000 on the car. I had a 1000 mile day and an 800 mile day and some other long days, so it was going a long way, but I didn't want to wait too long to change it. MM oil life said 30%. So I...
  6. Any issues with this set up ?

    No that should be fine, for performance purposes a slight stretch is actually preferable (wheel slightly wider than tread width of tire). It preloads the sidewall giving you better turn in and puts more of the tread in contact with the road.
  7. Which car was 2nd on the list?

    Used NC Miata PHRT, Mazda 6 or 3. I would probably have enjoyed the driving experience of the Mazdas more, but the Civic has all the features I want at a good price.
  8. Any issues with this set up ?

    235 is more of a loose estimate of width, the actual width varies from tire to tire. You need to look at the tread width of the tire actual tire you want to buy vs the rim width. But yes, seeing as stock is 215 on a 7" rim, 235 is perfect for 8" rim. I wouldn't go any narrower.
  9. Post your aftermarket wheel/tire set up

    Same wheel, although those are wider, 17x9. Its a popular performance wheel at a reasonable price.
  10. Post your aftermarket wheel/tire set up

    My EX-T that I purchased at the beginning of April. Stock size/offset wheels & tires. 17x7 Enkei RPF1 on 215/50/17 Conti DWS 06. 40lbs+ lighter than stock!
