I really didn't have any downtime. Just waited a couple of days for the part to arrive. I drove around with it leaking and just kept an eye on the coolant level.
Had mine fail on me. Made a video about it that I'm sure some on here have already seen. The purpose of this post is to give peace of mind to the community. Honda just requested my old expansion tank back. They usually only do this if they see a trend in part failure. So with that being...
Based on this info and the videos posted, I would assume that a pretty big air leak is present. When an air leak is present on these cars (or ANY FI) car for that matter it robs power because it is basically like robbing boost. The engine gets no boost.
What can cause an air leak?? Lots of...
Glad you liked the videos!! Thanks!! APEX really did do a great job with the forged wheel lineup. I only wish their ARC8 Forged wheels were available in 19.. those would look killer on our cars.
that’s cool! I like the creativity.
I unfortunately can’t have a garage door opener in my car because I’m keeping it outside. If a thief were to force entry to the car, they would then have access to my garage and ultimately my home. Sucks. But luckily when I had my new garage door...
I haven’t experienced scraping or rubbing from the wheels on any portion of the body or fender liners in any steering & suspension articulation and position. There’s surprisingly a lot of room under our fenders. I could see being able to fit a 9.5+35 or even a 10+40 with ease.
Since I installed...
Everyone keep in mind that any wheel with a lower offset from the factory +60mm will alter the factory scrub radius which in turn will affect the vehicles characteristics; most notably the torque steer. What I have essentially done is move the scrub radius more positive by 15mm. In a FWD...
Thankfully not needed with the APEX Civic Type R specific wheels. The wheels hub center bore is 64.1mm.
I will however need to buy some conical lug nuts.
nope the Type-S caps did not fit (too small). I will post the part #’s for the center caps that fit these wheels. They are off of my 2013 MDX ?
thank you!
Integra forums gets the exclusive sneak preview before the YouTube videos drop.
-19x9.5+45 APEX VS-5RS in anthracite
-Factory 265/30/19 tires
-Spoon sports springs
The wheels fill the arches out nicely. They also very closely resemble the factory Type-S wheels which give the car an OEM+ look...
I’ll post a follow up video of the spoon springs review. Normally driving it, it’s not that much stiffer than stock.
The Spoon Springs are a progressive spring of a dual-rate design. This allows the springs to behave somewhat normally in normal city and highway driving with obstacles, bumps...
LOL the integra doors seems to be a popular topic.
They’re one time use bolts and nuts because of the anti corrosive coating. I honestly think I would have been ok reusing them especially since I retorqued everything to spec. But. Figured Might as well follow protocol..
