When my Civic had 800 miles the AC wasn't cold enough. I went to Buena Park Honda near my house. They said an O ring was faulty and fixed it under warranty. My car had 50 miles more on the odometer than when I dropped it off. I wonder if someone took a joy ride because my car is a manual.

I installed the HR detent springs 10 months ago. I also have the HR shifter and cable bushings. The springs increase the effort/force needed to go in/out of gear. The resistance is comparable to shifting an automatic between PRND. The automatic's tactile feedback allows you to feel which gear...

Installed Si front calipers, pads, and rotors. Si is 12.3". Non-Si is 11.1". Si pads are wider and taller. Only modification is bending back the dust shield. Reused my stock brake lines and banjo bolts. 2022+ Si front brakes are also found on 2023+ Acura Integra (not Type S) and 2018+ Accord...

Some people remove the 3 ball joint bolts. If you do, don't make this guy's mistake (see 9:35 mark). This video shows removing the axle nut. I didn't remove the 3 ball joint nuts, nor the axle nut. I just removed the 17mm strut knuckle bolt and loosened the 3 top strut bolts, then I used...

My only complaint about the PowerFlex inserts was the strong vibration at idle with AC on. Sitting at a stop light with AC running, I saw the top of the infotainment screen vibrating/rocking back-and-forth. 😬

PowerFlex inserts in a FL5 RMM versus the Wunderladen RMM. I don't own a FL5 😭

Ever since I installed H&R Super Sport springs (1.4"), I absolutely hated how the front wheel gap is larger (by 1 finger) than the rear. D2 springs also have this problem. Tein and Eibach do not because they're 1.2F/1.0R, but that's not low enough for me. I'm on 18x9.5 et38 wheels with 245/35...

In October I installed a Spoon shift knob. After a month I didn't like how skinny it was, so I installed an Acuity ESCO knob. After 3 weeks I didn't like how fat the Acuity was, so I went back to the Spoon knob. I feel like Goldilocks trying to find the just-right knob. My current knob...

How different is braking with the Brembos? A guy who did the swap on a 10th gen Accord told me the brake pedal needs significantly less pressure/effort.

I expected to see a bunch of new Preludes at this years show

I love the Exceed front lip. Not my car.

I'm curious to try the Wunderladen RMM if I can get one on sale. Also rear camber arms. The week before BF I'll check IG accounts from Wunderladen, PRL, and Whiteline for BF announcements. They all had sales last year.

My experience makes me wonder if Go Tuning (official USA Spoon distributer) arbitrarily increased prices of US stock by 15% to reflect the Japan tariff. Items that were in the country before tariffs took effect. Screenshot from Spoon USA/Go Tuning's site of the same knob below: Last year I...
