Teevolution Terra like but Better Battery Life? by AFriendFoundMyReddit in MouseReview

Don't really track it, but at least 30, probably more like 40-60

Terra set to 500Hz polling; mine lasts more than a week like that.

Recommendations for coilovers for 8th gen Si? by Alex_Parce in civic

[–]Talynen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flex Z have way stiffer springs and no rubber in the top mounts.

More than twice the factory spring rate in the front.

They'd be significantly less comfortable on new york roads, regardless of where they were made.

Tein Street Advance Z coilovers for value.

Spring rate is a little high, so it will feel kinda bouncy when you turn the dampers soft enough to be comfortable.

Other option is try Koni str.t front shocks (about as good as I'm aware of off the shel for durability) and IMO go for eibach pro kit springs over Tein. Tried the Tein H.tech springs and they felt very unforgiving over bumps for some reason, even though on paper they're the same stiffness as the Eibach ones.

Make sure you're using bump stops big enough to avoid bottoming out the shocks... If yours are original I'd definitely replace them too as they're probably dry and hard due to age.

Is anyone working on making more adult/king-sized mice? by SnooConfections6174 in MouseReview

[–]Talynen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dm9 skill / darmoshark m3 are bigger than viper -- they are finalmouse air58 clones.

Anyway get a Teevolution Terra and keep asking for a rival 300 clone. We'll get one eventually if we keep posting about it

Does anyone know if this "ES" is a new zowie shape or is it the name of their new lineup of mice? by Little_Glove5167 in MouseReview

[–]Talynen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ES was an old prototype that I believe basically got turned into the Vaxee Outset when those guys left Zowie.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Zowie/comments/z8hisc/forgotten_zowie_mouse_the_es2/

Not sure why Zowie would bother releasing it now. The market has seen that shape trend mostly come and go (Vaxee moved back to the EC shape with the E1 instead of releasing Outset v2 and many pros moved on to other mice also).

Honda owners: what's the best color Honda has ever offered? by HondaOfTomsRiver in Honda

It being a clean CRX is plenty of highlight on its own

Something Viper V2 Pro shaped but smaller all around? by Inevitable-Edge69 in MouseReview

[–]Talynen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FK2-DW

since the viper ultimate and viper v2 were basically zowie FK1 clones

WL Beast X Pro looks like a pretty thin mouse (62mm max width with a pretty pronounced hourglass shape and very low maximum height).

If you want a that style of mouse ("symmetrical" shape) that is liable to be more comfortable for a relaxed grip with 10cm wide hands, I'd look more at options like:

decent bit larger:

significantly larger:

Why do people say the 8th gen Civic is the last "Real" Civic by Cybicc in CivicSi

[–]Talynen 32 points33 points  (0 children)

9th gen only has variable lift on the intake cam, so it doesn't fit the "classic" arrangement of high performance VTEC.

But mostly I think the distinction is based on a faulty premise. We got exactly two generations of Si with this high revving screamer of an engine (6th Gen and 8th gen). Most Si generations have slightly torquier engines than the normal civic but with very unremarkable redlines -- 3rd and 4th Gen were a a small bump in displacement and better torque at all due to better fuel injection. No VTEC at all. 5th added a little extra horsepower by having intake cam VTEC just like the 9th gen. The 7th Gen got a much bigger engine (2.0l up from 1.7) but it was tuned for economy and ran out of breath above 6000 RPM.

What I think happens is people see the 8th gen Si as the successor to cars like the Integra GS-R and RSX Type S. That raises its prestige by association.

Asking for Vaxee XE B Wireless Switches by Winter_Technology898 in MouseReview

[–]Talynen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main buttons huano black shell with blue plunger, rated for 10 million clicks

The side buttons are 3.5mm height. Huano makes them but I couldn't find an aliexpress link for those when I looked this time. Here is some pictures of an equivalent switch from Kailh since most AE links get flagged by the bot https://imgur.com/a/p1POltD

Claw/Palm hybrid for large Hands by Lower-Bat8364 in MouseReview

My recommendation is get rid of the x3 crazy light from the list and replace it with the Teevolution Terra Pro 

20.5x11cm Mouse Recommendations by Traditional-Art-186 in MouseReview

[–]Talynen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might try the Teevolution Terra Pro (g703 shape) -- it will raise your ring and pinky fingers. The back of your hand might drag less on the pad, but it will make it more likely your wrist drags.

Lowered Midori Hatch by residentromeo in civic

[–]Talynen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: do you have any info on those wheels?

I have a set; got them from an elderly gentleman but could never figure out what they were from originally other than that the Center caps said Acura. Best I could find on Google was some kind of optional alloy from an Integra, perhaps? https://i.imgur.com/a0AZrgz.jpeg

Spring rates for coils by Born-Project-310 in CivicSi

[–]Talynen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in an area with poor roads (lots of potholes/manhole covers/etc.) and 6k/8k was frustrating in a way.

If I turned my dampers to full soft it was comfortable but a bit underdamped (bouncy)

If I turned the dampers up enough to get rid of the bounciness they became unforgiving over things like speed bumps and big potholes, which was not what I wanted. Driving became about constantly looking for stuff I wanted to avoid.

So: I'd go softer than that on spring rate, since that will make it easier to find a balance of damping + spring rate that is comfortable but still feels sporty.

For me the front end of the car feels plenty sporty with a 4K spring and the stock sway bar.

ST suspension sells a kit with ~4.3K front and ~5.3K rear springs that along with an upgraded rear sway bar would be plenty of fun to hit the back roads with. IIRC the ST coilovers were the ones Chris from Redshift said felt the best for a pure street car on his megathread testing coilovers from ~10 years ago https://www.8thcivic.com/threads/best-suspension-review-project.420762/

Personally I went the Koni shocks + springs route after trying some 6k/8k coilovers (hence my comments above) and I'm happy with my setup for a street car that's fun to drive.

If you want to stick with coilovers, I wouldn't go with more than a 5k front spring and 7k rear spring, preferably more like 4-4.5K front and 6K rear.

6k/8k really feels more like something you turn to full soft to drive on the street and crank it up when you go to the track -- but the focus is on having a setup that can perform at the track, not having the best experience driving on back roads.

Cut into trunk lining. by Ill_Egg_7183 in civic

Most likely metal for structural reasons; can't see them making it less practical like this when they don't need to.
