i miss when scc was 350 pages of "do this to your mazda. and if you have a honda we'll throw in a feature in the middle"
and it had tech articles, and diy, and tuning, and all kinds of incredible things

I know a guy that would laugh at your face for saying that. Like Korey said, it's easier & safer, but when done right, I've seen the results of high compression and boost, and it's scary F-ing fast (and generally yields a pretty flat torque curve)

While you are correct, that's certainly not the norm.

for hondas it is lol

 

[reut1]

what could be the vibrating sound coming from my car since my magnaflow was put on. around 3k rpm and some points lower and higher there is some sort of vibration metal/metal sound that is somewhat annoying. not sure what it could be. any thoughts???

 

[aMaff]

possibly a heat shield

 

[The ManLaw]

ditto, probably the heat shield where the shifter is. that was my issue and a few other peoples. i ripped mine out. fastest way to take care of it

 

[reut1]

its fine to just not run a heatshield? i never did on my civic but didnt know if its fine to do on the p5 also

 

[The ManLaw]

i havent had mine for over a year now and havent had an issue with anything at all. center counsel does heat up on hot days while in traffic after driving for a long time, but its nothing i've ever been concerned about though

 

[azmp5]

REUT , its in the rear end , mine did that when I had that catback.

what do you mean exactly? is there anything i can do about it or is it just the way it is

New brake rotors ordered. Ceramic pads already here. Two new tires being ordered asap.

Plan is to bleed all the brakes and replace rotors and pads. Then replace the worn front tires (back ones are more than fine).

 

[Matt V]

Did you never rotate your tires?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Nah. And I drove around for 6 months without a proper alignment on the front. College sucks money from ya in many different ways.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

you could suck money back in

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Well hopefully it'll all pay off in the end lol. Can't wait to have time to actually work on the car again. That's still a year and a half away though.

i was making a crude prostitution joke
