Added a Ford part to the Civic.

Changed some sparkplugs and discovered I'm going to need new valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals eventually.

Neglected the copper plugs pretty good....had 50k on them.

I put some new rims and tires on my car today
https://i.ibb.co/B4dG3VR/154617714-1...92588774-o.jpg

After searching off and on for a couple years I finally got the silencer insert for my Blitz exhaust. And it was the wrong one. So I hacked it up a bit with the ol' death wheel and made it fit anyways.

is that a SR+?

Nope, Long Rang RWD.

Do you notice any difference with the wheels? Less range? The model y with the upgraded 20"s feel very harsh and bumpy

put 38psi rather than recommended 42psi
stock suspension has to go. It is so unrefined, people use TSportline springs and it makes the car more comfortable.

range really depends on your right foot. I can get 109wh/km with 245 front and 275 rear. In average, I get 175wh/km from heavy foot.

I was thinking of springs as the wheel gap is horrible, but I'm not sure if Tesla will use that as an excuse to void warranty and I definitely want Tesla to have warranty:pokerface:

what the, 42 PSI in a sedan is considered normal?

my stock bridgestone tire is rated at 44 PSI max, and car manufacturer recommends (from the door jamb) 36 PSI. I thought that was on the higher end already for a sedan.

Nowadays, yes. My focus RS runs 46psi front/rear. There are reasons that I won’t get into here unless ppl want me to. So most owners run 41/39 which is on the threshold of the tpms light. We also use lowering springs to make the ride more tolerable

any mod will void that particular part warranty, not all. I have wheels, coilover, sway, endlink, big brake, camber kit replaced, Tesla won't want to touch my bottom half of my car.lol Too low will scrape the battery, even with coilover there are still 2 fingers gap.

42psi is harsh. I set it to 36 and TMPS gives me warning immediately. 38psi is acceptable, just need better spring to make it ride like a normal car.

Do most sedans weigh 4600lbs?

My sold SLK weight 3100lb, recommended 34psi
My mazda5 weight 3500lb, recommended 32psi
My dad Alphard weight nearly 5000 lb, recommended 35psi

Tesla set its tire pressure to 42psi with the reason to gain better EPA, it is absolutely harsh to drive around with 42, maybe 36 is the best.

So far no noticeable loss of range. I had the stock 18's without covers on before. These are about 10% heavier than stock so there should be a minor range loss but it shouldn't be too dramatic.

I'm fine with the stock suspension and ride height, i'm not taking the car racing and just wanted to improve the look over the stock wheels.

109 wh/km is extremely good range, as is 175 when you are heavy on the accelerator. In the winter I probably average somewhere in the 180/190 with normal driving due to having the heat on. In the summer it's more like 140/150 during normal driving though.

Installed the GM CAI in my Camaro.

Then went to the dealer today to get the tune... Except I forgot that my appointment is on Thursday. Oops. Oh well, the car drives fine without the tune for now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9abef4d52e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1d098777b4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5f698417f3.jpg

I love how you can slap a 150 dollar intake on a big ass V8 and lay down another 30hp to the wheels or something stupid while the FRS forum is losing their mind over a 1-2hp gain on a dyno when the planets align. That's dope looking box btw.

Let alone the fact the dealer supports mods

That’s why I can never leave the turbo game. So amazing on modern cars

Nah it actually cost way more than that, but it comes with a MAF recalibration from the dealer and there is less fuss when it comes to warranty as it's a GM part. It also helps with the growing tinkeritus I have with the car. If I happen to visit Vancouver, VPD also can't bother me for it... Hopefully.

The gain is about 15~20 WHP/WTQ from what I have seen online from people who dynoed it.

Mustang GT supposedly has a Ford Performance kit as well that includes an intake, a bigger throttle body and a tune. Costs over a grand, but could be worth it if you are going for maximum kills next time you hit a crowd while keeping the warranty. :troll:

I recall talking to a BRZ owner before and he told me that header is usually a mod that can unlock a bit of power and get rid of that torque dip in the mid-range. A header does cost more to buy and install, though.Yep, if you are going for easy power gains then turbocharging is the clear winner.

That said, there is a reason I picked a Camaro over a used ATS-V. Same platform but I really want to enjoy a big NA V8 while we still can. :alonehappy:

Courtesy light swap +5 hp (oem light was meh) bought 4 like a nub didn't realize I only needed two until install. Anybody need a couple for cost? Lmk lolhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...05672bc31f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b6066ba4b7.jpg

Looks great. Surprised only +5HP though.
