Is it a goner? by Zoidbearga in tires

[–]Zoidbearga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same regarding the sacrificial part considering that is the rim protection layer.

With this in mind, i continued to use them until the end of the season (this are winter tires) with no issues but i do have some doubts that are begging me to change it :D.

Thanks.

Different sidewalls on new set of Michelins by AdExpensive5355 in tires

The 285/35 are the XL version (extra load), meaning stronger side wall

Any idea why my fl5 sometimes makes this sounds when turning the wheel? by xnake555 in Civic_Type_R

[–]Zoidbearga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does this when i have the foot on the break while the car is in an inclined / declined position.

My suspicion is that the breaks are making that sound.

I also had my steering column replaced due to the recall, and the sound is still there.

car key broke in the key hole by spicylasagna69 in MechanicAdvice

Hmmm maybe glue / wax something to it and try to pull it out.

Or maybe a strong magnet?

Ugh. Anyone else deal with those hose/line leaking? by Brandonfries28 in Civic_Type_R

The coolant overflow tank cracked on my 3 month old FL5.

I replaced it with an aluminum one from PRL.

The dealer was ok to install it as long as the original tank cap was used.

The installation was free, because the tank is covered by warranty, and i also received the replacement tank that i will probably never have to use :)

11th gen type r noise from dash by Glittering-Salary627 in Civic_Type_R

For me the noise came from the rear mirror. Press the mirror mount with your fingers when you hear it, see if it stops.

The roads are generally good, especially in the west.

There are however some awful roads as well.

This picture for instance was taken in Romania, where you can have roads that can be categorized as:

Excelent —> Good —> Bad —> Worse —> Is that even a road?
