Not a big deal, I do it every day.

Yes, but gears 1-5 are closely spaced. It makes it ideal for track work, and really lousy for drag racing. People who drag race GT350's get what they get, though. Gen 5 Viper and Hellcat 6MT do 60mph in first gear.

Completely depends on the gearing of the car and the particular transmission. Some transmissions will just hate being downshifted into first. Some transmissions have very tall gears and first more or less fills the role of second gear in a lot of slow-speed situations because of it, where...

The vast majority of people who say this are trying to learn heel-toe from an Initial D cartoon when they should be learning from Ayrton Senna.

Some of y'all in here would be advocating leaving the AutoClutch™ and ShiftTronic™ turned on just because it's better at you than doing something. You guys went to the wrong car dealership, the Tesla dealership is down the road.

It is not break-in oil. The combination of assembly lube and standard Honda oil does not create a break in oil. Break-in oil will have high ZDDP and actually have less detergents so as not to wash the zinc layers away. It will have different friction modifiers as compared to standard oil...

This is a great point and it's exactly why I retained the unmodified slave cylinder. This whole thing can be reversed in an afternoon if necessary. I don't drive in what I would consider an abusive way (I don't like drag racing and I never dump the clutch or do burnouts or whatever else) and...

About six months ago, I did the clutch delay valve (CDV) delete and the clutch master cylinder damper (CMC damper) delete at the same time on my DE5 ITS. If you have a non DE5/FL5 such as an Si, I'm not sure if your car has the same CMC damper, but it definitely has the CDV and the steps to...

Man, I would not roll the dice on an alphabet-soup brand from scAmazon either. WTF is "Dsnaduo" if not randomly-generated gibberish? You think they're going to back you up if the magnet comes out of that one? That company is in China and they're purposely setup to have zero liability exposure...

While a magnetic plug is a good idea (my truck has one factory installed, for instance) that Greddy plug is anodized aluminum if the descriptions online are correct. I really don't like putting aluminum bolts in aluminum holes. Galling and stripping is a common issue, and this is a fastener...

OP asked about having lug nuts that were long enough. The correct answer here is "long enough that they bottom out on the seat of the wheel pad rather than the stud itself." You cannot correct a lack of thread engagement with longer lug nuts. It's a non-sensical thing to bring up, and...

I'm not sure why people are focusing on the number of turns for thread engagement, since that will be a function of stud length. The lug just needs to be deep enough to not bottom out on the stud before clamping the wheel down, that's all. I've been a fan of McGard lug nuts for years. They...

The 0W does not imply that the oil should be thinner than 5W at those temperatures. (210°F and 100°C.) Those viscosities on your Blackstone report are measured at operating temp, which for a multigrade oil (anything yyW-xx) is the viscosity that the second part of an SAE oil grade is intended...

@ashmostro over on the Integra forums had this to say: Link: https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/which-acuity-parts-needed-to-just-remove-lateral-slop-on-shifter.57332/post-935516

I run M1 0W-40 ECF (Euro Car Formula) knowing full well that it will shear into a thick 0W-30, and there's nothing wrong with a thick 0W-30. It's cheap, available, and it works. I run it in my Tacoma and in the LS3 in our tailgating van as well. Shear is only a problem if it puts you into a...

I installed mine today (finally, it's been sitting since the Black Friday sale) and I'm pretty pleased with it. I would note that I tried to go for only a minimal reduction in throw, and instead focused on getting the shift knob to sit higher and a bit closer to me. With just a small reduction...

Again, shears to what? What grade does a xW-30 land in when it shears out of grade? What grade does a xW-40 land in when it shears out of grade? Is the fact that an oil shears important, or the fact that it maintains adequate performance for your application? If you want to pick an oil based...

Maybe if we're using this mat: In reality - what range does a 5W-30 shear to when it shears out of range? And which end of that new range will it end up in? How does this in any way support the hypothesis that 5W20 "sustains the best protection" all else being equal? You're also ignoring a...

I've owned a GT350, and you have to be absolutely high on military-grade copium to argue the CTR is a better car. The GT350 is in a different league and that's okay. In an ideal world, I'd have a bigger garage and have BOTH my DE5 and the GT350. I wouldn't even compare them because they do...

Again - his car already has the plug by the TSR camera, so he does not necessarily need the harness. His install could be a lot simpler as it is with Integras.
