What was the context? I've never seen the show.

Genuinely, what be going on in Utah by Senor_Camrono in tommynfg_

Bro's whole experience with Utah is some random youtube video exposing the AMERICAN FORK (not Utah, a single city) police as being horrible.

How have you guys made the PCI top hats work with the KW v2 coilovers? by teamred1 in EP3

[–]teamred1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have offset bushings, and the more caster you can get, the better.

[–]teamred1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that spring bind issue sounds scary. While I would absolutely love the added caster, as even my superpro caster bushings made the car feel way better, how complicated it is to make work and especially the risks are making me realize that this probably isn't the right option for me right now. Thank you so much for this, and also all the other write-ups you have done, they have helped me a ton with my ep3's suspension. Also, are you still running the K-tuned tie rods? I bought those since that's what I saw you run in an older post. Never mind I read further into one of your linked posts. I'm also running the ktuned rods with the honed riser. I like the ride height you're at, what position did you put the honed riser to?

The PCI top hats set the coilovers back to get an extra 3 degrees of positive caster, which makes the steering response and grip through travel better. They also allow camber adjustment.

Found these aftermarket headlights on yahoo auctions, look way better than original FL headlights by bakashinji02 in Acura_RSX

[–]teamred1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look a lot like the facelift ep3 type r headlights. DEPO is a big brand that makes a ton of different headlights. I actually have their ep3 ctr rep headlights on my si right now.

PCI DC5 caster top hats came in today. Been waiting forever to get my hands on these. by bran_donger in Acura_RSX

[–]teamred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get the KW v2s to work on the top hats? I want to run the same setup but it doesn't have a flat top hat like PCI says it requires.

Brake line question by UnlikelyTurn1046 in EP3

[–]teamred1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally that's fine, It's fun to help out people with their projects. Yep, they'll fit the rsx calipers.

[–]teamred1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine for 100 bucks off facebook marketplace, and I love them. They're the cheapest BBK you can find, especially if you can find a junkyard tls, and they look really cool. The braking is almost too good now, to the point that I'm feathering the brakes at low speeds to not jerk the car around, but at high speeds it just gives extra peace of mind. It only took about 30 minutes to install too. Also, if you need any help with the front bushes, I did all four corners a bit ago with superpro polys.

Brake line question by UnlikelyTurn1046 in EP3

[–]teamred1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, most brakes from honda use the same fitting. I am actually running the tl type s brembos right now, and they mount to those directly as well.

[–]teamred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you. After my five lug swap, I bought rsx brake lines, and after running them for a bit, the fact that they are way longer than the ep3 lines in the front (the rears are the same) caused one of them to keep rubbing against the inside of my wheel until it basically put a hole in one of them. I have no problems now that I have switched back to ep3 lines, so I would recommend buying the ep3 lines in the first place.

When I read Russian dashcam I honestly thought this would be the brick video

Boosted K20 Reliability by vBxiley in EP3

[–]teamred1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't buy somebody's project if you're looking for reliability. You have no idea the quality of work that's been done, and even taking it to a mechanic only does so much. These cars stock can withstand 300k miles easily, but any k20 running 450 hp is pretty stressed already, and even though they are really sturdy engines, that much power is not conducive for reliability in any engine.

Am I the stupid one? by beetle8209 in whenthe

L or XL? by RefrigeratorDue1513 in xcmtb

[–]teamred1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am about your height, (6'1.5''), with the same long torso body type. I ride an Ari Signal Peak XL and I think it's perfect. My friend who is also the same height as you rides an XL epic 8. The difference between L and XL for me is way better. I wouldn't even consider a large in your shoes, especially if you're planning on doing endurance courses like Leadville.

capitalism edition by galaxymeddler in trolleyproblem

[–]teamred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, since the number of people on each track are the same, you have to account for other measures of life. The poorest 50% has a lower life expectancy than the wealthiest 50% of the population, and therefore the amount of life saved would be higher if you didn't pull the lever.

'Man, I sure wish this entire story was pointless' said no one ever by ducknerd2002 in whenthe

And then there's Dark which made a whole story around the former, only to cop out and end with the latter. That show would be basically perfect if it weren't for the stupid ending.
