I just want to buy OEM wiper blades without worrying about having to return them if they don't fit. I'm finding this non-trivial. Has anyone gone through this already? Surely someone in the last two years has replaced the wiper blades on their Type S? Are they indeed the same parts as the A...

What could be happening here? I understand my camber is borderline extreme for the street at -3.5 in the front, but why only one side, and why does it look like something is cutting into the tire?See pics for reference (photos may be out of order, uploaded from my phone); chewed up tires are...

I'm no stranger to doing my own work, although I admit I kind of swore it off years ago but I also think that replacing rear brakes at 15k miles at some of the exorbitant prices a dealer would charge is offensive enough to get me to pick up a wrench again. My rear brakes are approaching terminal...

Recently got around to doing some springtime mods in preparation for the fun season. Previously I had installed Eibach Pro-kit springs, and was pleased with the aesthetics from the drop but was quite disappointed in the increased understeer introduced from the additional rear camber vs the front...

https://apexwheels.com/blackfriday @Integra23 I am not affiliated with Apex in any way, other than the fact I love my Satin Bronze VS-5RS. If you’re thinking about it, now is the time. They don’t get cheaper than this, and they’re brand new (might take a few months to get them but it’s ok...

Sounds roughly like what you'd expect from a worn CV axle. But my car has 8k miles on it... I really don't think that's what's going on here. I just noticed the noise recently but I can only hear it with the windows down and it may be possible it's made this noise all along and I just never...

Generally after trying a search and coming up with little useful results, I figure a thread is worthy. There are a few threads for individual springs out there, but it would be nice if all of it was in a single location. I actually have purchased Eibach PRO-KIT springs and have an appointment...

But as I found out, fire extinguishers will!

Anybody else notice the hilarious lack of inventory for virtually any wheel in the size that fits our cars? When I say "fit" I am implying the typical aftermarket offset of ~+45. I considered doing a more aggressive fitment because there are a few available in +22 to +34, but decided that's not...

I've been spending far more time than I should be browsing wheels lately, and have surprisingly come across a wheel I've never seen on a car before and can't seem to find much information on at all. They're listed for sale on several sites, but as I'm also finding out, just because a wheel is...

I like both of these almost equally, and am strongly considering buying one or the other as a "first mod". What distinct advantages am I missing between the two? First off, I haven't seen definitive evidence that a Gruppe M intake is a direct fit for the DE5. Is there anything I'm missing, or...

https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/column-what-ever-happened-speed-shops/ Was just putzing around GRM and came across this article, actually originally written in 2016 but apparently reposted yesterday. Interesting timing because I've kind of been thinking about the "old days" a lot...

@Zygrene needs more presence here, I feel like his #1 cheerleader. But he puts out what I think is the best content for our cars today, so maybe I am? Very interesting video, especially how the CTR bounces around in the canyons! I didn't think it was THAT bad under those conditions... I was...

Very, very interesting video. Also for anyone even remotely interested in taking their ITS to the track, you should already be following Zygrene as I think he's going to end up with the absolute most relevant ITS content on YouTube moving forward. Case in point, he's had his ITS out to the...

I signed up with actually very little advance lead time (~3 weeks) for an SCCA Track Night in America, this one at Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, VA. The turnout felt small compared to what I'm used to but apparently was large relative to this particular event/track according to the staff. It...

Anyone who was a fan of import/sport compact performance cars in the 90s or 2000s will fondly remember Super Street magazine. Anyone who is a car enthusiast will enjoy this show. Worth signing up for Motor Trend by itself, although there are other cool shows to watch (including Top Gear but I'm...

Finally got the ITS out for its first autocross experience today. My goal was just to get familiar with the car so I didn't bring my gopro or even take any pictures other than this one- A bit of background, I'm no where near an "elite autocrosser" or anything like that. I have a bit of...

I don't really know how else to describe this- but basically when I'm at around 3500 or so rpm and very light throttle, I can hear and feel a slight vibration. It reminds of a heat shield rattle, and clutch chatter, but not really exactly like either. It's not dependent on any one gear. I've...

He may not be one of the top tier YouTubers from a subscriber count perspective, but I really enjoy his videos and have watched just about everything he puts out lately. He gets access to some really top tier cars and gives great takes on them on tracks and his local amazing California canyon...

I know we're just now getting our cars and most of us have yet to even hit break-in, but that hasn't stopped me from registering for an upcoming autocross. I'm hoping to get at least a couple autocross, maybe a trackcross in this season before it goes into "hibernation mode" with all-seasons in...
