Never cease to amaze me how rattles/noises "travel" or seem to come from one area but end up being caused from somewhere else. I had one I swore was on the passenger side and sounded like a seatbelt/seatbelt connection issue. Ended up being the way one of my sunglass cases sat in the overhead...

I have 6MT and average around 35 if just in town, pushing into the 37-38 range with some local hwy type roads (not interstate or limited access). Interstate or more steady 70-79 mph I can start pushing 40. Now if I start getting on it and shift more in the power band I can quickly get into...

Since I have a 2025 ASPEC Manual I am assuming the wheel spec of 8Jx18 ET 50 means my wheels are 8" inches in width versus the 9.5" os a S model (or at least that is what Mr. Google is telling me). Please chime in if I have this incorrect - know this is more limiting to tire width I can use.

Thanks, I don't think I'll go as wide as you have but nice to know I can.

Same question but for the 18 inch rims, if anyone knows?

I consistently get over 400 when I fill up, in fact I'd double take if I saw less than and look at my average MPG. Nothing to worry about especially if you didn't have gas spilling back out which, as mentioned, could cause gas to get in the EVAP system. Even then one or two times is probably...

Very impressed with the diligence or dedication some have to track down a rattle. Rattles drive me nuts and I still try and locate them but have found contorting my body to get at some areas gets a lot harder as I age. One of the worst rattles I had came from our 2000 Acura TL in the sunroof...

Interesting thread since I recently have been re-evaluating my "parking" procedures after a brake incident. I have alway just left any manual transmission vehicle (I've had many being old) in neutral and set the parking brake - not sure why other than habit. This is the first vehicle I've had...

Thankfully all the scrapes on mine were on the thin flat edge at the outside of the rim (the edge is 1/8-3/16 inches wide so repair and touch up should be easy, as I mentioned just my "Sharpie fix" hides it enough that friends have had a hard time seeing it. Even I'm getting used to it:-)).

My "damage" is just superficial - several of my friends said they wouldn't worry about it since they could hardly see it with only my temp fix/hiding using a Sharpie to cover the shiny aluminum:-). Agree on how little it took to ding the wheels, I wouldn't have notice "touching" the curb except...

Thanks - I was leaning towards pick up a new wheel (looks like around $400-450 online), Discount tire said they'd do the change out no charge (bought my tires there). However, given the input on a professional repair (around $150) and how well it turns out I'll look into that first. Pain for...

Just found the one post about "Wheels on Site" that will repair for $150 - hopefully we have one servicing the panhandle of FL (probably not).

I gave one of my wheel some road rash this weekend misjudging how narrow a city street was and turned a little to wide. I wouldn't have even realized how close I was to the curb if it wasn't for the sickening metal scrapping sound. I knew low profile wheels/tires have little rubber sticking...

Having been stationed on the SE US coast from DC south there’s no relief especially in the summer. I have a WeatherTech front windshield sunshade and I definitely know when I forget to put it in the window, and the shift knob really gets warm if it receives direct sunlight. Oh, I’ll put a...

You might be surprised, mine will get warm but not that uncomfortable and cools off quickly - then again I live in northern FL so our temps might be cooler:-).

Looks outstanding - love the boot too.

I got the Titanium spherical shape. On the A-Spec engraving - (BLUF: anything you don't see on their website click on "contact" at the bottom of their webpage and ask). In my case I contacted Billetworkz saying I liked the engraving showing the six speed engraving with Type S underneath on...

Thanks, sounds like a job when our temps get a touch cooler (in the 70s for a high, even though we are now down in the mid 80s or so). I have plenty of tools from wrenches, sockets, breaker bar (and impact wrench if needed). I also have knuckles that are used to getting skinned from breaking...

Sounds like the challenge was the AWE pipe sitting lower - if you had (or my case I do) OEM front pipe, is the installation pretty straightforward just having the vehicle up on jack stands? Or is this one of those projects finding a lift will keep your sanity?

Installation was a piece of cake, although it took so little time I didn't have much to do the rest of the day (kind of knew it wouldn't take much time since it was only a 5-10 minute job on the Honda S2000 I had). Yes Yes, at first for some reason I thought they were out of CA - don't ask me...
