Do you know if you're still on the stock clutch @142k miles?
If yes, I would consider replacing that at the same time as the next TB/WP service. You will have to pay more for parts upfront, but it'll save you $$$ on the labor in the long run if the motor is being dropped anyway.
Spoke to Wil. As always, he was very helpful.
Neither I nor my stereo tech realized that the EPS and ABS modules behind the passenger footwell have to be relocated in order for the enclosure to fit. According to Wil, once everything is relocated the enclosure will set all the way back and no...
My stereo guy is essentially done with the install. I haven't listened to it but he says that the enclosure with the JL 10TW3 sub kicks hard...can't wait to hear it myself!
However, there's one hiccup he ran into. The sub grill protrudes about 2" from the enclosure itself which means the...
So the boxed kit would only be for OBD1 cars? Nothing is planned for OBD2?
Could we order a boxed kit sans tuning solution and run an AEM Infinity separately?
For those of you who are substantially lowered, what kind of rear camber settings can you dial in?
Currently, I'm at a zero finger wheel gap at all 4 corners (4-4.5" ground clearance from ground to jack tabs) and the lowest I can go is -3.8 degrees which I think is way too much for a street...
I was recently able to source a pair of Model 5s in 18s so I have my rear 17s for sale.
They are 17x9, +40. No chips, bends, or cracks. Recently powdercoated crushed metallic silver. Center caps were taken off to be cleaned separately but will be included with sale.
What I think is...
Thanks to Steve (Sduff@Composites), I was able to source a set of 18s for the rear. I had previously been running 17s all around but I really wanted to run a staggered setup and I think it came out great - subtle but noticeable difference. I also switched from 10mm to 15mm spacers which pushed...
Wow, how is this even possible? I own my home, garage the car, haven't had any speeding tickets or accidents in the past 7-8 years (knock wood), and yet I was paying over double that for an agreed upon value of $45k and with mileage restrictions through Hagerty!!!
Theoretically, if you lose the auction (to your own car!) do you lose everything installed in the car as well?
I know you've put a substantial amount of money into the car - the turbo kit alone I'm sure cost a decent sum. It'd be a crime for the insurance company to just take all of the parts...
I have owned the exact same StopTech setup in question on my previous car (supercharged TSX) so I do have experience with it. I immediately noticed improvements in pretty much every area - acceleration, handling, ride quality, and of course braking. The differences in each area may not have...
I agree that most of the weight savings will most likely be in the calipers. However, since rotors are unsprung rotating mass, even a small 1-2lbs weight savings per corner should noticeably improve handling and ride quality. The same is true for lighter weight wheels and tires.
Are there any guys out there with StopTech BBKs who have measured the difference in weight between the StopTech and OEM components (calipers and rotors)?
Aside from the obvious advantages in braking over OEM, I'm curious to know how much unsprung weight is saved and how much it could...
Ha, I wish that was true. I had hoped for a better first drive after so long but the roads up here in CT are a disaster after the winter. There aren't just potholes, there are craters around here well over a foot deep that I wouldn't drive through with a monster truck.
Feels like the roads are...
Ha, coincidentally just adjusted my policy back to full coverage. I was able to remove collision completely and saved about $400.
Almost forgot about it after taking the car out but that's definitely a good reminder!
