How many qts of replacement oil was needed - believe the newer filters only hold 1 - 2 cups?

FWIW - Honda cautions against using DOT 5 "Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle's braking system and can cause extensive damage." May or may not have to deal with sharing a common reservoir with the clutch system

...after installing a set of proper winter/all-season tires!

OCD - it's fine.

Slipping clutch is when gear too high, rpms rise and speed doesn't. What you're describing sounds like a loose charge pipe or engine issues.

CTR is not shown on your "profile" - (hanging on wheels that are offset too much can put stress on suspension and cause tire wear and handling issues) - is your offset excessive?

What vehicle year, make, model? New or used? miles on tires/wheels. Wheel offset vs stock. etc...

Terrible roads(I hope)! Sounds like paper fluttering, perhaps in the ventilation ducts? Simple test would be to put HVAC on recirculate, fan off, windows rolled up to dee if noise changes.

If you've removed the fender liners air can be getting into places it wasn't meant to go. Did something happen/change before the noise was noticed (service/pot-hole)?

1) Tire wear - how many miles on tires? likely normal 2) Noise - check to be sure the fender liner is in place and not picking up air.

First post indicates the vehicle was a used '23 purchased about April '25. The vehicle may not have had a clean title, for many reasons - repo before or worse yet previously boosted and a false or "washed" title generated. Hopefully to be resolved in D's favor.

As the clutch and brake share the same reservoir there is likely a special procedure to bleed them when changing components. This could be a simple as air in the lines. Why was clutch replaced?

Did I miss something - Just Cold Weather jabber and no info.

BBS wheels from a Fire Sale perhaps - they just declared bankruptcy, along with Recaro!

RS is quick on a small track - on Lightning Lap CTR was 5 seconds faster.
