I think this is the most important part. 35F with the car sitting outside all night at that temp is not the same as 35F outside, pulling out of a heated garage (60-70F).
In the second case unless you idle outside for 10+ minutes, the rubber is supple and driving causes the tires to at least...
I always wondered about that. Mechanics seldom place the lift exactly, they just kick it under and lift.
On my 7000TL, most cars I lift need the extensions which I don't have so I've taken to using the designated points in the front and use the pinch weld line as close as I can to the back...
I wonder if it must be done ASAP or if it's an eventual thing.
To be honest I worry more that some chump mechanic will screw it up more by "fixing" a problem that I don't seem to have or feel.
@Frenzal Canadian news agencies have picked this up tooz stating that about 221k cars are affected...
It'd be nice to start a running record of oil analysis versus average driving distance and driving style.
For example someone who regularly gets high teens, low 20's fuel economy, are they more likely to experience less dilution thanks to their leaded feet.
Sorry for the crappy quality photo but the Dongar adapter knock on wood works pretty well to power my dashcam. I installed it and decided to run the USB port to the outside so that I can easily swap in the future. You can do this by flexing the ventilation grill that you pop off, then feeding...
Ugh... Today I had a stupid person try to merge into me on an off ramp with no indicators. Instead of slamming the brakes I accelerated ahead of him as he basically did his best to run me off the road.
Anyway, the moron followed me to the gas station where I was filling up and decides to go...
I have the same thing, chalked it up to something hitting resonance.
Basically I have experienced all noises people seem to mix up.
1) Waste gate rattle. I have to have the windows down and the music at less than volume 3 to hear it but it's any gear, any rpm but 100% off throttle, engine...
I can't say it's the same for the servo motor style rear brakes but the one of the only "out of standard maintenance" issues I've ever had on my Civic was that one of the rear brakes locked up thanks to rust on the calper. It didn't release with the parking brake. Basically after driving in...
Thank you! I've been particularly busy and haven't had the time to really get out and get the photos I want. ?
I got super lucky with mine, I just happened to catch wind that a further but still local dealership had an allocation for a LSM and because I already had a deposit at another...
Can confirm rocks getting stuck in the brake shield is a nuisance. I'm not sure if it's any sports car or just a Honda thing but in the past 11 years it happens frequently if you drive anywhere with gravel.
Only tip I can suggest in my experience, steering angle greatly increases the chance of...
I was on the fence about this when considering mine. I knew it was first model year but then again the power train had been out for pretty much the whole 10th gen CTR and then whatever tweaks they did for the 11th gen had a year of testing on the CTR ahead of us.
For the body, same principle...
I guess then the cloning process gets recorded too.
The procedure I thought of was:
Step 1) Get a new one and clone to it
Step 2) Keep the original ECU out of the car untouched except cloning,
Step 3) Jailbreak and install the new cloned unit, swapping back to the OG ECU in the event there's...
Thanks for the quick reply. Crazy how disabling the automatic reactivation of a feature is not possible. I could totally understand tampering with the way it worked (like when it brakes), but keeping it off permanently, this world is becoming too safe.
I guess it'll remain as part of my...
If you don't mind, I've had a few questions about tuning and car settings that I'd seriously appreciate if you could enlighten me on.
1) Is custom tuning by gear a possibility on the ITS?
Frankly I don't care to improve the performance one bit below 60mph and would only be looking for a bump...
