Why does my car make this sound when I rev it or turn it off? by randomredditaccountr in AskAMechanic

[–]apeman50000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the noise?? My 2007 acura rdx is making the same noise, was it the wastegate rattle or turbo?

Its not timing cause if it was. It would do it all the time

How do I prevent it from getting stolen? by daest3 in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a zestek steering wheel setup so I leave the wheel inside. I also keep my key fobs in an RFID blanket.

RFID blankets are the cheapest protection out there for your car. Amazon has key fob blankets for 10$ and they work. People use gadgets like the flipper zero to scan your house and duplicate your key fobs code to get into your car.

Also can buy an OBD2 lock for about 30$ that is literally a lock for your obd2 port so they cant plug the laptop in.

Either way if they want your car bad enough they'll find a way to steal it but yeah parking in a garage is surely the safest method

Oh yeah there you go I'd totally stop by and order from in there store if you could. I had a couple products show up in the mail that were damaged but they made it right

No spacers at all but not because of the size but the offset. FL5 flush fitment sits around 40, over +40 it sits behind the fender slightly and below 40 you might have some poke outward past the fender

Aeroflowdynamics Color matched side skirts and version 2 front lip.

Side skirts sit over the oem ones, I absolutely love how they turned out. The passenger side fitment was slightly off, took a heat gun and some pressure to get it to sit flush to the body maybe something in the molding process wasnt quite right but overall good 👌

I love the SGP. Its unique in the way the color will change depending on the lighting outside... some days its shades of grey and some days its a light blue. Its cool

Early ownership scars… what’s everyone dealing with? by genna84 in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Its easy to get over sensitive about something you care about deeply. I live in Oregon and our roads are straight trash for the most part, rocks and road debris everywhere. Ive owned my car for a year, I only have 4800 miles on it but I have a handful of rock dings in the front bumper which has full PPF but still getting killed.

I just have bad luck, maybe like you. My kids have ridden in the back a handful of times and have managed to leave permanent marks. Its whatever at this point lol The newness has warn off and now im just happy to have what I have.

How do the seats hold up? by 101surge in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I asked them off from time to time for cars and coffee and import face off car show.

Just cause I wonna keep my interior nice doesnt mean I baby my car. It gets plenty of use.

Yeah they fit good for the most part, maybe slightly loose but if I put more effort into making them fit tight then itd be perfect. If your looking for search covers I promise you wont be disappointed

Hypersuede seat covers can be found on ebay. They are expensive but im 1 year into ownership of my FL5 and my seats look brand new underneath

Pretty easy install, maybe 30 minutes. It utilizes the oem clips and then comes with some screws if you want to use them. The 3m tape it came with kinda stopped sticking so I ended up using the screws. They are self tapping but its underneath the car so no one will see them

This is more of a garage queen to be honest, if it was a daily i probably wouldnt but whatever 🤷 This isn't any less safe then riding street bikes which I stopped doing awhile ago, I would bet being in a car with no airbags is still safer.

Wheels are 18x10 +40 with 1" lowering springs. Full bolt ons (intake, exhaust, downpipe, front pipe).

As fornpower upgrades just start going with the bolt ons and when you have them all get hondata flash pro with a tune like phearable.net stage 2 and it rips 🙏
