yea, i realized it wasn't part of the trunk when i got dried wax stuck in the invisible gap

fuckin a. what a PITA

do you have a link to the tool you use to manually retract it? i need to do my brakes soon and I've never dealt with EPB before...probably going to need a guide.

i don't hear anything abnormal. I can barely hear it but sounds normal for these cars. i think i can hear it in this video too, but more clearly. sounds like the dampers in the suspension. also, don't drive like this guy just dumping the clutch pedal...

guess we need a recording

lol, i think you were quoting me. I'm cryptolime on other honda forums. either civicx, civicxi, civic11forums, or reddit. i don't remember. but, yea, i've read from multiple people that say it's the countershaft that clunks around, especially when shifting at low rpms. I wonder if a...

i had the same noise for the first 15k miles. Even took it to the dealer because I thought something was wrong. it eventually went away. I think maybe it was the PCV valve or something. almost sounded like a faint whirring/whistle. but since you the have the PRL HVI, you may just be...

i think it also might have something to do with the thin MTF these gearboxes use. so not as much cushion like some older gearboxes that use 90 weight MTFs. could also be the LSD too, not sure I tried Torco MTF based on some recommendations but it didn't like it. seemed to slippery for the...

the subtle clunk is totally normal. usually only notice it at low speeds/RPMs. someone on another forum said it was the countershaft and just the way these gearboxes are designed. nothing harmful going on.

i usually run a couple pounds less because that number is for a fully-loaded car. helps with traction and a smoother ride.

you won't notice it if you have experience driving manual. you'd have to be shifting SUPER slow to notice the rev match on up shifts.

it's been my favorite manual car I've ever owned. Seems to get smoother as you put more miles on it. or maybe i just got the hang of it. I think the A/C compressor was really tight when new and took 20k miles to really loosen up and stop messing with my shifts. would get this weird clunk...

yea, they are more for the track than daily driving. not worth the minute difference in flow to let all those particles in your engine.

Armorall is like putting butter on your dash. it's greasy and there are much better options.

Stick with the OEM filter. You could get an aftermarket, high-flow filter, but you are sacrificing filtration for flow.

i would contact PRL to see about warranty coverage. they may even give you some freebies if you send it back to them so they can inspect it. it looks like the crack started where the "P" in "PRL" was embossed into the plastic. could be a manufacturing defect. The "R" and the "L" also looks...

some people have fixed their wastegate rattle on other car forums by adding a spring

the car actually told you it's making a rattling noise?

some other advice i got from a tech somewhere was to always turn recirculate on before shutting off the car. Makes it harder for rodents to get in.

the problem with cats is they like to jump on the car and scratch it with their claws
