Honda parts reviews

I run 255/40-17 tires on all four corners of my Honda S2000 track day car. I wanted to be able to use those on the R, so I had Adaptec make custom adapters: 15mm thick in front, 25mm thick for the rear. On them I have a set of Hankook RS-3s 255/40-17, a set of Nitto NT01s (same size) and a set of BFG Comp 2 A/S 245/45-17 (my all season go anywhere tires used on the R as a daily driver). I am at stock ride height and none of these tires ever rub.

I stand by Carbotechs. Whether it's my S2000 or heavy E90, they've done great is hard lapping all day long. Depending on the car, XP10s in front and XP8s in the back work well for most. You can call them and they'll recommend the right pad. Their super noisy for street use but brilliant on the track.

Loved them on my Accord. The OEM stuff on the Accord sucked.

I have Nankang Toursport 611's and they work brilliant in the dry and acceptable in the wet And w/ a 500 tread wear rating, they have like a 50,000 mile warranty.

I bought 5 qrts Mobile 1 Edge synthetic 0W20 on sale with a filter from Advanced Auto for $40, took the oil and filter to the Honda Dealer, and they changed my oil for $15 labor plus tax and fees, total $18. So this brought total cost to $58 for synthetic oil change.

Some high performance all seasons: Yokohama Avid Envigor I have had these on 3 of my cars 2002 Civic Si, 2008 VW Jetta, and my 280Z. I get good mileage out of them too.

So anywho, I ordered a replacement and bolted everything back together. Cat put me slightly above budget, but hell... half the car is new at this point. Also, I got 34mpg over ~150 miles of test driving to and from work before I decided to investigate the cat; that's pretty good for what amounts to a 16 mile round trip with the AC going.

Car takes forever to warm up and seems to always be running rich, so I'm guessing either the thermostat or ECT, or both, is/are bad.

Headlights are generally useless. Mine are yellowed, fogged and badly pitted from goodness knows what. I need to replace them sometime this fall before The Great Darkness® sets in.

you probably had the same OEM dunlops that i had. those things were absolute garbage. i drove for a year in fear of driving over windy bridges with those things. after i changed tires, it was a whole new car.
