I think the answer depends on your priorities. and what "better fitment" means to you, but I have a suggestion. Before you make a decision, do some reading about the dual axis suspension and the function of wheel offset in its operation.
They are not directional, so put them anywhere you want. IMO, unless you are getting some specific side-related wear, I don't believe that it's worth the trouble to X rotate them, just do front to back. All you need do is jack up one side at a time. The only time I rotated side to side was when...
I'm 75 with damaged hearing, so I haven't noticed any of this stuff. My advice, drive it hard, keep the rpms up, forget about the rattles. Cars like this have squeaks and rattles. Get rid of it or get over it.
The Apex EC-7 is made in 18X9.5 with an offset option of 58, which is about a perfect match for the OE offset specification. It's on backorder now, but if you call, they might have an update on anticipated delivery.
I never did any tire rotations at the track, and I don't think it's worth the trouble. Just rotate between events, since you'll probably be doing brake service anyway. Go have a hot dog instead of messing with the tires. Of course, I'm lazy and I like hot dogs.
I haven't tried it, because I really don't mind the factory dipstick. But it seems to me, regardless of the color of the metal, the oil level should be relatively easier to see on a smooth metal surface.
I'm an old fart who has been through many cars with various degrees of mods. My 2025 Integra S is bone stock and will remain so. As others have suggested, your best bet is to find a tech who is competent with your tuning. The factory spends a ton of money on engineering these cars. In my...
There will be a small amount of movement after shutting down, as the crank completes or reverses the stroke it was on. At that point, the mechanical slack is removed and, absent a strong force, the car should not move.
It's just a convenience that allows the car to remain stopped while you take your foot off the brake pedal. I think it encourages a bad habit. If you want the car stopped, I think you should be taking some affirmative action to do it.
When you say the Mobil 1 is "much better than the Honda stuff," you obviously notice some differences. What are they?
Fuel smell in the oil is not the result of the oil quality. It can be caused by several mechanical or fuel issues, but not the oil.
Okay, I did my little experiment. I parked uphill on a grade, one on which I would normally engage the brake, put it in first gear and shut down. I got out and pushed against the rear of the driver door frame, which is why I used an uphill grade. I could not move the car. Now, does that mean...
I'll give it a try this afternoon. Not sure if I can recruit an assistant, but I have a place in mind where I can safely park on an incline and at least try it myself. It's an incline on which I would normally use the brake, so it might be a good test. If you see a news report about some nitwit...
