Yep, it is regular oil. I did my "free" oil change at 500 miles. The service manager looked at me like I was nuts...I told him, the wear is highest at the beginning so I want to remove all of that possible stuff statistically as I plan to keep the engine.
He got it and was fully supportive...
Roger that.
On the current civic hybrid:
The USB port can supply up to 3.0A of power. It does not output 3.0A unless requested by the device.
For amperage details, read the operating manual of the device that needs to be charged.
Under certain conditions, a device connected to the port may...
I see and hear reviews that note the "old" USB A's are in the Civic Type R FL5 and make it out to be a sin.
That is puzzling.
Go onto amazon or wherever and just search on usb a male to usb c female adapter.
I have nothing to do with this vendor, just typed the above and one can get 3 for...
It exists and looks to be able to persist. That is only a good thing.
I love my current car. I loved my old 993. Great cars don't get diminished by new models. The FK8 is a great car....totally different look but still great. These cars are wonderful (FL5) but I can think of some slight tweaks...
Variable in DC metro area. Lots of dealers. One dealer last year (I have a 2025) would not move on a 5k adm ...as I walked out they lowered it but the dealer had been so rude to my wife that she (who hates car shopping and told me to be calm going in - said never ever with them). It came down to...
The front geometry is very critical for minimizing torque steer. ET60 matters. A lot.
That is simply a fact - geometry/engineering. Changing that will degrade the design and introduce the potential for torque steer...and think "lever arm longer" on wear type things like bearings. If you just...
I am doing a short OCI and using great oil...notice I leave off brand and numbers.... My choice is to ignore the algorithm and waste some funds perhaps - my choice. You make your own choice. I want to keep this car long term and so I am babying it.
My plan is to stay stock....good balance. If I go faster than that NBR time....then I may invest in more stuff for aero.
My braveness limits would likely come into play well before I needed more aero....
Put Alpin 5 in oem sizing on the oem wheels for winter. Car drives really well for winter tires....fun is maintained.
Got oem forged ones for summer and put the PS4s on those....
My opinion only - the ET60 is key to minimization of torque steer. Very key. So I chose to go OEM. It was not...
I put a lwf into a Porsche 911 GT2.....sounded like loose bb's in a coffee can at idle. Did it to handle the tuned increased (a lot) torque and because "race car." Regretted it to be honest but it cost so much to buy and install that I just left it in...it was so tough that it probably would...
On this note, also put an acuity shifter in....it was 3 hours and not as simple as people might tell you. Not hard, the word to use is "tedious" if you don't want to damage anything and follow all the torque specs, etc. The one clip on the hood in the beginning of the process is a...
When I said the CTR had better audio, that was both to my ears and (more importantly) in a video by savagegeese. He is an audiophile and tests frequency data formally and felt the CTR was better.
I keep the OCI at 3 -4k, 5k max. New filter each time, at present the fram ultra synthetic XG one (about 8-9 dollars delivered to my door), and a top quality oil. Simple.
I tried on both (came from other sports cars):
1. FL5 doesn't have glued on rear hips. I hate glued on things.
2. FL5 has way better seats and, to me, a more classic interior...it says 993....to me.
3. LogR gauges. I like gauges.
4. I like the white...historic.
5. I like the wheels on the FL5...
Had a gt2 with hydraulic steering....that was better, but now in the current cars....I would put steering on the gt3 about 5-8% better max...key is to keep the honda on ET60 wheels - it really matters. Sport or comfort mode for suspension (R is too stiff unless on track imho). Clutch is meh -...
Glad PRL offer this, thank you.
I am keeping my wing for now...but I am also a fan of the GT3 touring and had an STI Limited 2019 - sometimes the wing is too much...especially if you can figure our a classy fixed duckbill sort of thing. My main concern would be true aero use if going...
