The source also matters a lot! Things like sirius xm intentionally VBoost their eq before it even hits your device. Spotify in lossless mode seems to flatten a lot and it drops the bass a bit. YouTube music has felt the most consistent for me so far. When I replaced mine with the RF sub, I...

Most scrap value for cats is around 150$ for cars this size.

It's not an official part! I just used some standard adhesive gasket. The one I had was intended to seal the cooling stack to the bumper, but I used it here. If you could get an adhesive one that swaps the height and width of this one so the adhesive is on the narrow side, you'd be even better off.

I did another thing. Couldn't stand the size of the gap anymore. I added this gasket to complete it around. I'm really not sure why acura left it off. The mounting tabs and slots for a gasket are literally there, they just didn't put it in. Sealing this helps aero, cooling, and no more ugly blue...

Hey @Dvs1270 how long did it take you to get yours? I ordered the elite two weeks ago right before price dropped from 300 to 200. I've had no tracking updates, their support is 100% AI, and I have hardly been able to get a human. The one human response I got was to tell me they're unwilling to...

Definitely a tiny world! My 3d printer can print abs, so I can do some functional prints. The challenge is really finding the time to do the measurements and then print, test, measure a bunch of times to get it right. I'm also not sure if I see the market for it. It would certainly help in...

🤣 I wasn't even alive for it, but I'm an old soul. Plus, you know, historia est magistra vita 🤷‍♂️

I don't think I've ever heard Cali described as nazi before, lol. Texas, Florida, even Kansas I've seen and heard, but not Cali... They're literally the opposite direction, super "left". For anyone that doesn't know, "right wing" and "left wing" political affiliation terminology comes from the...

It would need to be abs or asa and might still melt in that area. That's a good thought though! I had the rs3 and Porsche gt3 deflectors on my gti. Broke the rs3 so then went to the Porsche ones because they were smaller. You might even be quoting one of my results or Joe's results actually 😅...

You have to keep the rear the same rear caliper bias. It's not, not doable, but it's a hell of a lot harder to do than Ai will make it seem, lol.

I bought a giant copper washer kit years ago off Amazon, and it comes in handy all the time. I highly recommend getting a copper or aluminum kit and calling it set for any little thing that pops up. Once you have it, it's indispensable.

I replaced some gold foil on the intake and charge pipe today. I had some cheap stuff before and the heat was making it brittle and lose color so I went to the pricier stuff. I'll add on more in a few places later (bought about 300$ of the stuff and used about 170$ worth so far), but it's at a...

Yeah, this is just not the car to go to that level or prep. Harsh reality people need to hear: this platform is extremely limited as far as making it faster around a track is concerned. Beyond tires and brakes, you will fight to save a few seconds over 2 minutes and you will ruin it as a daily...

Someone else answered a lot of your questions. Just a note, this has the dual axis design front but it's still a mcstrut front and multilink rear. If you lower your car, the rear spring rate needs to go significantly higher than front to keep in proportion for handling balance. You're correct...

Squishy sidewalls will roll a lot! Sway bar will force more load to the sidewall. Makes it flex more, heat up more, lose grip at the axle. Usually that means upping air pressure which again lowers grip on the axle. With a soft sidewall like on an all season, you want less bar and less spring...

Basically no wear on those, lol. I was expecting more worn. How many sessions have you put on them?

What does your wear look like on your stock tires? Note I said spring rate, not springs. Springs will generally be detrimental to performance without other compensating factors. If you're going to up rate for track use or for a slicker tire, you'd ideally want coilovers that leave at or near...

Are you sure that's correct for rear factory sway rate? Seems awfully low. I would have expected closer to 750. In theory it can a bit, but the factory system is designed to keep you rotating in the sweeping and decreasing radius corners where fwd tends to wash with maintenance or reducing...

I've measured my rotor temps on track and my dba 3k rears came with heat paint for flagging it. With vcs fully off they stay within 400F well. With it on, it's bad... They'll be over 800F in paddock after a hot session, which means on track they were pushing 1200+. So really, turning off...

Castor changes can effect tie rod movement range, but not as much as lowering. When you remove the strut in front, it's possible to get a different castor. Especially with pins pulled. Higher camber and more extreme offsets will also put more stress on the wheel bearing and axle bolts. Lowering...
