  2. Catastrophic oil leak - I am freaking out

    This happened to my dad with his 991.2, serviced at Porsche, at least that’s exactly what they told him was the cause. In his case, he was driving only days after the servicing, smelled burning right as low oil warning came on, pulled over and had dealer tow it back to their shop. They had to...
  3. FL5 Civic Type R Coolant Expansion Tanks: Best Options & Buyer’s Guide

    Scott @Mishimoto gave me this response: We have not tested the capacity, but it is roughly the same as the OEM. Please note that changing the capacity may affect the pressure. This product is designed to work with the Type R motor while maintaining stock fitment and performance. I wasn’t...
  4. FL5 Civic Type R Coolant Expansion Tanks: Best Options & Buyer’s Guide

    I got Mishimoto’s red for $265 back in April ‘24, it’s gone up in price since then. It comes with the hose fittings welded to the tank and a 1.3 bar cap, if you want to count those as features. Mishi doesn’t post the capacity, so I’ve asked them if they can measure to verify as I didn’t...

  9. Mugen Door kick panels?

    yea I started from the bottom corner of the speaker near the center of the door, and slowly worked the thin strips around the speaker, tucking the edges in with my thumbnail. There is overlap and I cut excess so that one would cover the other. I have noticed a couple of them peeling off at an...
  10. Inlet pipes with stock airbox?

    Originally the inlet worked with the stock accordion: And PRL used to sell a silicone hose specifically to replace the accordion for connecting the inlet to stock box: But when PRL came out with HVI, they sold a separate hose kit than what initially came with the inlet, for connecting the...
  11. CFM oil cap breather (CCV catch can alternative)

    I’ve been running one of these on my Focus ST, along with a PCV (dirty side) catch can for about 10 years, tuned for about 5 years up to ~24 psi max boost.
