'25 Integra ASpec CVT Build

[slowcountry]

Finally made it so i could park in the garage today... old house/steep driveway problems.

Platform gives 4.5in of height and is 76in wide x 130in long. Ramp portion is 76in wide by 60 inches long, ripped 2x4s corner to corner for the grade. Made 6 ramp spines inset 2.5in, 10.5in, and 28in from each side.

There was baaaarely a scrape with just the ramp & platform, but added those 2.5in humps I had previously bought and its perfect.

Besides being able to park in the garage, this should also let me add the spoon progressive springs (.8in drop). Can easily add more clearance if needed.

May add astro turf to the top or paint it to make it look nice Lol

Update on trans cooler/trans temps:

So far the ETL trans cooler seems to keep trans temps 10-18 degrees cooler during casual driving, and 9-12 degrees cooler during spirited driving.

Interestingly, this also seems to have positively impacted the engine coolant temps. I'm guessing this is because the EC isn't absorbing as much heat from the trans fluid.

One specific spirited route I took before and after - trans temp peaked at 212 before, and 201 after. I think once I add the cooling plate I'll have "re-established homeostasis" between trans temp and ECT
