That's a pretty great deal if you got extra tires along with the OEM wheels. That's a ~$1200 value right there, right?
Coming into the winter months in this first full year after the car market has cooled, I'd think that deals are to be had out there.
Personally I think the OEM look is absolutely perfect, does nothing to detract the overall look of the car while providing solid functionality for the issues they're designed to address.
There are aftermarket options out there, but unless you like the look of aftermarket mud guards I'd strongly...
I instantly get a wave of positive vibes every time I even just LOOK at a DC2. I had an S13 (and a DSM for a few months...) in the 90s/early 00s and was never really a Honda guy, so apparently I have a lot of fanboy catching up to do...
Enjoy!
I think he's talking about the exterior... which can make sense, depending on the dog. I don't roll my windows all the way down while he's in it and I keep my dude from jumping on the doors before he gets in but he sure AF wants to lol.
I also like the OEM one, but I will acknowledge that it's...
I'm glad somebody gets me lol. I know I can come off as combative on here but it's 95% the forum- I don't care what anyone says, it's easier to "dehumanize" in an online format, I know I'm guilty of that occasionally but I at least try to keep it under control and I assure you I have acceptable...
Yeah... I'm not experienced enough to know or be able to articulate exactly what I experienced today but it felt like I took two steps forward and one step back since I had the springs installed. In some circumstances I felt like the car was doing exactly what I wanted it to, in others it...
I get it, and that's a fair point. I didn't need to pick this thread to launch into a tirade against aftermarket intercoolers, but we're all here to talk cars aren't we?
And getting an intercooler for no reason other than "I felt like I should" makes more sense?
Also the point about the Ohlins...
An intercooler makes whooshing sounds?
And it’s this part right here that gets me-
“I like to tinker with mods”
and “why not.”
If that isn’t the definition of arbitrary I don’t know what is.
Also, asking these types of questions isn’t silly or hating. Especially in this context. There has...
I'm glad you asked this, because I had pretty much assumed Whiteline was the only show in town. Turns out we do have some options.

Interesting... I wanted the springs for the aesthetics regardless but I honestly didn't know there was enough room for getting the ~2 degrees out of the stock suspension.
I will probably give my local dealer a shot at removing the pins, but not sure when. I don't know if I'll get another...
So just to clarify- a longer vid that has a lot of relevant details and impressions without delving into random off-topic nonsense like what turned me off with Q's videos is appreciated.
Specifics- What sealed the deal for my negative impression with Q was him rambling on for what felt like an...
So you just do it because you feel obligated to? Let's just get straight to the point here, that doesn't seem like a very good reason does it?
Have their been any issues with OEM intercoolers cracking, or leaking in any way? Even if so, isn't that what warranty is for?
I think another piece...
Totally get it, everything you state about being lazy is exactly why I never considered trying my hand at doing anything like that. Plus the whole exposure thing. I'm content to hide behind my keyboard on car forums and anonymous commenting thank you very much.
It was still a good video...
Nobody is roasting YouTubers. I am roasting one in particular, because I do not enjoy his content.
You choose a public platform, you deal with "takes". That should be common knowledge for anyone having any sort of online presence. I get takes on my posts on this forum. Case in point.
But at...
Quick question- can anyone point me towards conclusive evidence that an intercooler is actually warranted for this platform?
I understand what an intercooler does. But there's already a front-mount intercooler from the factory. Also, I've seen many, MANY examples of aftermarket intercoolers...
I may have to have my dealer do it... the tuner shop just doesn't have the depth of knowledge on this platform I was hoping for/expecting.
I figured your badge install was the root cause of many of your rattle/noise issues, and it makes sense. I truly do hope your dealer can get it sorted for...
Personally I transported the OEM wheels with tires mounted back home after getting my aftermarket wheels on the car. Not much of a problem...
I think I recall seeing a video from Gridzilla, who if you're not familiar is a YouTube guy that has really good track content for his FL5. I believe he...
Yeah... while I am a little surprised that a dealer is fine doing this- I think you have one of the better dealers based on the data you've provided so far- I've known for some time that my local tuner is not quite the gold standard. The hunt is on for finding an S-tier shop, and I've tracked...
