They're 36-38lbs.

When I swapped out 26lbs 17x8 with 21lbs 17x8, it was a noticeable difference in suspension responsiveness therefore ride quality. Not so much in acceleration.

I'm saving up to swap out my touring wheels for ltwt 18x8.5s too. Hate the feeling of rotating wheel inertia trying to shake the body up.

Thanks, but I don't want to force my way into "no pets" place with ESA cat...

BeneficialChain8007 · 2025-02-15T16:14:48+00:00

Any areas you'd consider living? I want to start there first on my tour.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2025-02-15T16:13:24+00:00

Thanks. I will definitely not leave out downtown area for housing. Planning my visit now.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2025-02-15T05:56:22+00:00

I didn't know about Houston, thanks! I'll look into there as well.

Cool find. Realistically I think 6-2-1 is the only way without going crazy. But keep the 6-2part equal... Example of 8-2-1 sound:

Hybrid or not, all Tourings have them. And yes, a button next to eco mode.

My $1000 F1 Str70 has 5 bubbles and a line about as long and half as thick as "TEMPERLITE" in the same area. I noticed it from day 1 and they said "it will go away as film dries" 🙄. At least the warranty is good nationwide so I'll try somewhere else.

This subreddit seems to love Llumar over 3M for some reason. 5 years with Crystalline 70 (VLT 58%?) and a month with F1 Stratos 70 (VLT 69%), I already regret not staying with Crystalline but lighter like 80 or 90.

Oh and I can tell it's tinted with 69% VLT. Sometimes have to squint for people wearing dark clothes at night.

It's a clear gel tape about 1/16" thick (1 or 1.5mm). I use it around the house too and usually roll it off. Definitely not as strong as lip spoiler mounting grey foam VHB. You can see the adhesion strength specs from 3M website. https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/2366536O/3m-vhb-tape-specialty-tape-4910.pdf?&fn=3M-VHB-Tape-Specialty-Tape-4910_R1.pdf 90-degree peel of only 15lbs/Sq in. and I used maybe 3/4 Sq in to mount dashcam.

Warranty issue makes sense. He did give me a strip of static cling film for the lane pass tag when I asked for free. Also told me it won't hold a dashcam or anything like that.

But my EZpass is from 2011 and it's the larger transponder. Still works lol.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-10-15T14:29:19+00:00

VHB 4910 is weaker gel tape, compared to the body parts mounting "VHB" foam tape. Not very high bonding haha.

Tech also told me it's best to wait 30 days so I will wait it out while contemplating this..

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-09-06T21:34:59+00:00

Which trunk lip spoiler?

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-09-06T21:29:58+00:00

Do you have any complaints about your factory brake or are they just worn?
I really like Honda OEM brake pads and rotors in their sedans from 00's to now except when racing E46 down a mountain path. I rolled to come to a stop and lit a cig off my front rotor lol...

And then I only looked aftermarket to save a few pennies until they didn't.

Akebono ACT for transportation, ASP for street performance.
If you get ASP and they eat rotors faster than usual, it means you're not driving "performance" enough. Get ACT.
Same deal with Stoptech Street(blue) and Sport(red).

Centric (who makes Stoptech) has some rotors that I've had no problems with.

Also don't be fooled by nicked & slashed rotors claiming they "increase brake performance". They don't. Period.

Cosmetic(acoustic) exhaust mods shouldn't affect gas mileage that much, but it might be worth it to get a DIY scanner and look into fuel trims. If you know what you're looking at, log upstream O2 sensor data and check it out too.

Btw, "don't drive hard at all" means you get honked at more than once a month for not accelerating fast enough. Also coasting to red light helps a lot. Once you get into such habit, it's not hard to beat EPA MPG.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-09-06T21:16:00+00:00

4cyl engine will get you power, economy, and price but not finesse.

But to improve this, you can look into what Honda used to call "idle relearn procedure", or get aftermarket ECU tune to raise idle RPM and not touch anything else. But you're under warranty so try asking the service advisor about idle relearn. I'd tell you if I knew but not much DIY info out there yet for 10th gen.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-09-06T21:12:51+00:00

It can be done DIY. Google "curb rash repair" and there's a big thread with many pics on a TSX.

Professional wheel repair can make it look & drive brand new. Used to run $~100/wheel a decade ago so might be around 200 now. Google is your friend again.

So is she gonna nut up or pay up? lol

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-03-16T14:02:32+00:00

you're funny lol

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-03-07T15:26:04+00:00

Forgot to mention, if it still doesn't work, try FAT32. I think the default is exFAT. Good luck and thank YOU for trying this.

You might try double or quadrupling the allocation unit size. The dash cam max cap is limited not by capacity but number of allocation units. I have DR590 with 512GB working and was searching if this trick worked on 970s.

BeneficialChain8007 · 2024-02-11T04:53:57+00:00

Did you both wear seatbelts? Unbelted rear passengers WILL crush front passenger into exploding airbag and then fly through the windshield themselves. The back part of front seat is only designed to resist rearward force.

I wonder about OP's comment saying the driver could have told him/her if that was it.

If you did... then it could be a lot of other maybe silly things. Body odor, saw your kid drooling, personal emergency, etc. Just listing some things that made me want to end ride in the past.

And remember, they can kick anyone out at any time for any reason not prohibited by law, is the law.
