You guys are way too funny(monkey2) I've own both FWD and RWD so I know the handling characteristics of both in cornering. Rolling a P5? You'll probably have to slide into a curb, roll off a mountain or get creamed by an SUV. Tried the 180 with my deceased CRX protejay5; no roll. You try it with...

What a disappointment. After 2K miles on my new TA KDW2 on KAZ KZ-V wheels I started freaky cornering again. Two days ago before I blew my intake manifold a Mercedes Compressor flew passed and cut me off going onto a 180 degree downhill freeway on ramp. Being a little pissed I stomped on the gas...

Thanks garretts77. (bowdown) I checked out the manifold and the engine definitely do not need lifting. Any suggestiion on where exactly in the exhaust I should look for the screws? One of the replies said there is a TSB on this problem but alldata.com did not have one for the P5 so I might...

Just came back from the dealer and they wanted $1245 for the repair. $750 for the intake manifold, $150 for what I presume is the fuel rail and $350 for labor. Writer said it takes over 4 hours to replace because they have to lift the engine. I told him I'll think about it. So here's my...

Thanks guys I'll check it out first thing tomorrow morning. It was the #4 cylinder's plug that got smashed. The engine did not rattle or even gave a hint that something had happened. It just lost power. I did, however, hear a couple of tink, tink while I was driving the last mile home. I'm not...

Just installed new plug and engined fired right up but it idles rough and the check engine light is flashing. Drove back and forth about 100ft with just slight hesitation at initial acceleration but does not seem to have lost any power. Thought about draining the oil to check for metal shavings...

Help. I was coming home and suddently I lost power and the engine felt like it was running on only 3 cyclinders. It happened right after I was up-shifting at 6k rpm going up a steep hill. My engine just turned 50K. Pulled the plugs after engine cooled and found one of the plug's ground...

I only have one day of driving experience in heavy rain with 205/50/16 BF G-Force TA KDW2 but they behaved very nicely. They're much stickier than the OEM Dunlops on dry roads and they ride softer also. The tread pattern looks mean and many people had complimented them. Over 1k miles and yet to...

Hankook Ventus If cost is a concern try the Hankook Ventus II. I had a set of 205-17-50s for about 2K miles before my car got totaled. Drove it in heavy downpour without a hint of hydroplaning even going through huge puddles on the side of the highway. They handled nice but definitely not the...

That's exactly why I gave Thermal a plug. Thermal also does not make claims on X number of hp gain with their CL catbacks rather they just state that they are designed for highly modified vehicles and will help improve mid to high range performance. That's exactly what happened after the catback...

Hope I'm posting this in the right thread. If not, move me. I just want to give Thermal Research a plug because I had a great experience with them. (2thumbs) I bid $250 for a $540 catback on E-bay and won. No one else bid on it. I found out why after it arrived. The catback did not fit...

Teflon or nylon washers with lube will work better. These rubber gromets with wear down in no time flat if you drive hard.

Nice. Very close in back; looks gooood. Gotta be careful buying from E-bay. Some sell their stuff real low, inflate the actual retail price and then **** you with the shipping. Just some of their selling techniques. Warranty is also PITA if there is any!

Pics I drive 80% freeway and most of the time I have over 200lbs of work material in the back seat and cargo area. I'm a corner freak but I also rotate my tires every 5K to 7K miles.

Pics I'm working on the pics. Useless to take pics @ 10:00 pm.

I just replace my OEM wheels and tires with 48K miles of wear with a set of BF G-Force TA KDW2 mounted on 16X7 Kazera KZ-V. I stayed with 16s for the ride and bad pot holes. I chose the Kazera KZ-Vs because they have a +50 offset and only weights 16lbs. I also chose the BF KDW2 because I'm...

I almost bought a set that was really cheap to try but he wouldn't allow local pick up. His shipping was almost twice as much as others. Guess he was trying to make up the profit with shipping and handling.

What? That's the opposite from what I've learned about exhaust and I have never seen a track car without an open exhaust. Also, no exhaust rep I've spoken to in SEMA have ever told me that some back pressure is good for performance. I have a turbo and it spools up much quicker with an open...

Want better performance? Get lightweight steet wheels like Center Lines. You'll get a more comfortable ride, faster acceceleration, decreased stopping distance and better handling on rough roads. CF hoods looks cool but by it self it will offer no performance gain. I want a VIS CF hood

Used Mobile 1 in my demised 91 CRX from 20K to about 100k. I then started using the cheapest oil I can find in Target and the cheapest filter I can find in any auto parts store. I replaced the engine at 245k because it was buring a qt of oil every 2k. Always changed my oil between 5K and 8k...
