I had a road trip last Friday, I made it a point to keep track of the miles and gallons. Sadly I was caught in 3 major slow downs (50 minutes added to my drive time) plus I had to drive the last 20 miles in city, even so I got 28.3 mpg. overall since I purchased the car I am averaging just under...
I got winter wheels and tires, I went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all seasonal 18" tires on Drag DR-67 wheels. Definitely not as good of a tire/wheel package as factory, but it gives me m+s tires for the light snow and below freezing weather we get in central Ohio. I went with Gorilla lug nuts...
The .1 means one pack, otherwise you have to buy a pack of 10 it appears. If you look at my photo it has the .1 at the end of the part number, it's hard to see sorry.
I am pretty sure it's the same part except the .1 may mean that you are getting a quantity of 1. I got mine from Rockauto, much cheaper than if you go to AutoZone. You want them to support M14 x 1.5 thread.
Also when searching, dorman part numbers are 6 digits with a dash between digit 3 and 4...
Suggestion if the hondata folks are reading these comments, schedule it on a Thursday when the Honda Museum is open, or coordinate with Honda to have the museum open the same day you have the next event here, that would be a nice bonus for making the trip if you came a bit further than Central /...
Agg I would have been there had I known!!! Literally 1 day off from finding out, grrr!!! I wish Hondata would have replied to my email back in March about adding me to a mailing list then I would have caught this opportunity when it was announced last Wednesday. :(
Are you still in...
The Gorilla K5TS-14150BGR lug nuts arrived, same height as the McGard locks + rounded end is about 1/4" additional, looked good when setting in the wheel. Will post pictures once I get tires in 1-2 weeks.
Update on lug nuts now that my wheels arrived...
The Drag DR-67 nug nut hole recesses are bored to about 25mm (will caliper the holes when I take the wheels to the tire shop). The 21 and 22 mm non-marring sockets will not fit, meaning I have to go with a 19mm or 3/4" hex nut as that is the...
Lug nuts!
I got a set of McGard wheel locks, #24216. 4 locking lug nuts, one for each wheel. Quality stuff!!! I believe the factory lug nuts are made by McGard also.
I ordered a set of White Knight 1709SabK-20AM, they are acorn factory look except they are 3/4" or 19mm hex instead of 7/8" or...
I also like the Michelins PS4's, I got the all seasonals on my wife's Accord and my previous Trans Am I had the PS4 Summer tires, plus I can get them at Costco.
I talked to Costco today they have TPMS sensors, they are about $48 each. They suggested that if I could bring Honda/OEM ones they would install them at no cost. I think I will order a set of Honda tpms sensors and bring them in to be on the safe side there will not be any issues.
Part numbers...
Not a proud photo, this was about a week after installing the mud guards in mid April and I didn't wash the car yet. This is the worst of it, you can see where the mud guard and wheel well catches the road crap.
