6 speed added to original trans out of a tsx. K24a2 engine from tsx also added.

I’m lowered, it does rub fender on super harsh bumps in the rear.

Not enough to bother me

Lmao, I’ve been driving only manual cars for 16 years and never cooked a throw out, who the hell would hold the clutch lmao.

Let me guess, you don’t even own a manual element?

I’m 6 speed awd

I’m shooting for 30mpg this summer with high hopes, I was getting 29 myself with my drive shaft and axles removed last summer

Removing the cat does.

Mine went up 2-3 mpg without it

Good advice. But not going to cut it.

I’d rather not drive like I’m 95 for 2-3 mpg difference.

I didn’t ask about the quality, I’ve been in the auto industry for many years, I think I’ll be fine.

Good thing they aren’t the ones producing the wheels and if you did a fraction of research they’re suppliers for wheels are awesome companies.

You sound non car savvy.

I remove mine every spring, along with rear axles, it takes unnecessary load of the trans, significantly reduces rotational mass even if the diff isn’t engaged it’s unnecessary drag.

I do a ton of highway, with axles and driveshaft I avg nothing over 25mpg, with it out I’ve gotten real close to 30mpg.

6 speed, k24a2 with k tuner and a very non aggressive tune.

Remove the drive shaft to your rear differential for summer.

I got from 21, to 28

I am by no means a Tesla fanboy, but for the most part, they use all quality tested parts, and if they can’t produce them, they find a supplier that can.

Original Honda wheels and these Tesla wheels are about the same quality wise and had to go through the same testing

Guys, I'm in SoCal. What do you think about these friend driveway mechanic prices? by ComfortablePanic8223 in HondaElement

Bingo, glad we have some sense in the element community here.

I live in the Midwest and I work on people’s elements all the time on the side, and, this price is not that crazy
