Looks like a 255/40/18 at 3000rpm in 6th gear is 82.39mph compared to 83.25mph with 265/35/19 and 79.94mph for the stock tire size. So yeah you're about 1mph closer than me to the real speed.
Yeah, with 265/35 I don't notice any difference in the rev-match downshifts, but you raise a good point there about the speed-rpm relationship for that system. 3-2 still feels great and 2-1 can be a bit awkward even with the stock size so I tend not to do that one often.
Also with the stock...
I think it's foolish to drive through snow, or even those temperatures on PS4S since the temperature limit is 45F, and they're clearly not designed for winter weather with traction being significantly worse. You could also risk damaging the compound/sidewall as temperatures decrease beyond that...
My CX-30 also had nearly no rattles which is an aspect I miss. My brother got a 25 GR Corolla Premium Plus and so far it doesn't rattle at all with ~700 miles. Kinda embarrassing the DE5 rattles way more than a GRC (and other ~30k range cars) for way more money but it is awesome to drive other...
I thought that for a brief period but I've seen quite a few owners posting about rattles on the FL5 as well over the past year or so. Tbh it seems to be a mostly inherited feature from Honda, not just American built Acuras being worse. The seat belt rattle fix I did was from an FL5 owner lol...
I did this fix:
for the seat belt rattles which so far seems to have fixed it, but I will look into the lower section you posted if I hear it again as time goes on. When the weather gets better I'm gonna have to pull the passenger side knee/dash trim and near the glove box to stuff some foam...
My 2025 DE5 has buzzed and rattled since like 100 miles on the car. There were some really annoying metallic sounding ones in the interior that went away at like 400 miles somehow but now it's random whether or not certain rattles are loud or not depending on the weather. I kinda doubt any of...
Listen to this guy ^^^
Man I'm so mad... Just realized after reading your reply that I read this thread close to when it was posted IIRC but forgot about the part where he mentioned the oil flying out of there before doing mine a few weeks ago. For anyone reading this before doing their first...
Got my dipstick last Friday and I can confirm you can actually see the level. My phone wouldn't focus no matter what but I can see that it appears a bit overfilled, though it is sitting nose down on a somewhat steep driveway so I need to check it on flat ground. It took a lot of effort to push...
^ Yeah, I bought the Chasing J's one because I thought it was the only seemingly good option, but I didn't see that K-Tuned had one for the K20CX. I think I prefer the simplicity of the J's one, but the top of the K-Tuned unit looks good.
Recently sold off some parts from my last car to a Canadian forum member and couldn't believe the process to sell/ship internationally along with the dues :(. I will make a post or reply here when I get it along with some pics since it's been difficult to find info on it's improved usability.
Just did my first oil change on my car last Friday and put roughly 5.6qts in, but the dipstick is completely useless so all I know is that there is definitely enough oil ?. I have a Chasing Js dipstick on the way that will hopefully show me the proper level, otherwise I'm breaking the orange...
I just got 265/35/R19 Pilot Sport All Season 4's for ~$1250 installed a few weeks ago from Discount Tire. I'm in the PNW and temps dipping below 45 made me not want to risk potentially low grip when it's cold and rainy or even some random light snow. So far they feel about the same as the stock...
I'm surprised they mentioned tires as well. I'm assuming you have the stock PS4S still right? 12k miles for those seems extreme but obviously I don't know your use case.
I can absolutely feel the mat when pushing the clutch all the way in. It hasn't actually affected my driving at all but I don't like the feeling a whole lot. I'm considering cutting the mat but also hoping I either get used to it or something.
I can also feel the mat when pushing the gas pedal...
I get that this seems like people piling on to bash, but your initial response was the primary reason why I replied.
"With that being said, our policies arent made to benefit the customer. Customers are the reasons why companies make policies. Customers want to do whats in the best interest...
I'm not sure how else to say this, but your perspective on customers and customer service tells me that this may not be the right fit for you. In my opinion, one of the best attributes a company can have today is good customer service and it will pay dividends. It shows you stand behind your...
