Just to chime in. I've had the following in order:
- 2002 Acura 1.7EL ( D17 engine )
- 2002 Acura 1.7EL with K20A swap
- 2007 Civic (R18 engine)
- 2024 ITS
K20A was the heaviest. R18 had the lightest and worst feel in general. I honestly don't remember the feel of the D17 now. But what made...
Interesting. I like that it allows adjustment of the angle but a little unsure if two bolts would be enough to make sure it doesn't come loose. Interesting design though for sure.
I got my winter setup recently. Haven't had a chance for a better photo. It's just go go go with kids.
T1 motorsports got a local wheel maker OPE made a custom +45 offset of their FF06 wheels in 18x9.5 and put on Michelin Pilot Alpin 4s, 265/35/R18.
I decided this route because I didn't feel...
I've been driving with my zip tie setup on the stock location since July and it's still good. I think though there really isn't a good option to relocate. Anything other than stock is going to be problematic with looks or airflow I think.
I'd also say I've recently seen too many driving with...
Had to deal with this a few days ago. It was so loud I initially thought someone was doing construction. Good thing we have the Interwebs and forums. My hands were black when I went into work but I felt better knowing it was resolved! I'm at about 5000km.
I feel like this must be a thing to do...
I'm a bit confused by this. The sticker on driver side door frame says 35/33.
This says to avoid high pressure due to heat when driving at over 210km/h sustained, set the front tires higher? Wouldn't heat cause the front tires to rech nearly 50psi?
Unless what it's saying is that higher...
I took really wanted to see more from Acura on this. If they won't give us the S2k style gauges, I'd have liked to see stuff like temperatures, and maybe Log R. That being said, Honda probably wants to keep them exclusive to the CTR.
Anyway, one small detail is that the yellow needle is...
Thanks for the background @submitaweasel . That helps to put my mind at ease. This is my first turbo car so I appreciate you sharing your first experience. I just wanted to make sure the car is doing what it's supposed to.
@eculley I definitely don't expect it to be an off the line car. I...
Thanks for this. I figured as much. I think I just need to figure out the throttle with this car. I do feel that 3rd gear pulls really nice and reminds me of 2nd gear in my old car before VTEC. I tried full throttle in first today and gradually letting off as boost built up and it felt better...
Wondering if others have this issue. It's been hard to find traction in first two gears on a hot day with dry pavement even with well reviewed PS4S and 265 width.
I come from a lighter Acura EL with K20A making about 230-240 at the crank. Tires were 205 width, Dunlop Dirreza Z1 Star Spec. It...
I don't really have another shot...I mean, with the license plate on and then smudged out, looks kinda messy. I have 3M electrical tape wrapping all the contact points on the back. I'm hoping it's enough as it's got high friction and if it's tight enough, it won't shift... hopefully. Lol
I've...
I have not tried it. Was thinking it blocks more of the intercooler than I'd like and also blocks brake duct. That being said, I'm thinking if it's something easy to remove and then setup again, I'd consider doing it and removing if I ever go to the track. Shouldn't need that much cooling...
Just saw this today. Don't think I've seen it posted here yet.
Mind you, this is just the first step and I'm assuming trivial for them having already done FL5.
I don't think I'll do any performance mods this year but really interested in seeing what they learn while developing the flashpro for...
So I did manage to make it for the last bit before they announced the winners. Looks like a decent turnout. I'd say if it wasn't so loud I'd have stayed for longer. Speakers inside were definitely hurting my ears...or am I just that old? Lol
I was looking for start and end times but they didn't post it in any of their posts. Thanks for posting it here.
I don't think I'll sign up though. Will play it by ear depending on my kids.
So apparently Throttle House had a big meetup in Oakville last Sunday. I totally didn't know about that one.
Not sure where this would go so I'll post here. Maybe following format.
Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Description: was getting some bubble tea when I saw the white one at booster juice so parked beside it for a pic. Sadly owner was not in booster juice. Lol
