Some aftermarket lowering springs are designed to have "dead coils"; that is, parts of the spring that are completely collapsed when the vehicle weight is applied. And it can generate a noise. Double-check to make sure nothing is loose (swaybar endlinks can be an issue), and you might want to...

$2.529/gallon for 93 octane E10 in Dixon, IL this morning. Howza 'bout 41.85MPG on a 2014 Si?

Absolutely not.

Looks good. What's your suspension setup? It looks a smidge lower than stock.

The links above do omit Swift Spec-R springs, and they are worth a look. They are very close in weight to OEM springs (most aftermarket springs are heavier than OEM coil springs) and like OEM springs, they have a linear spring rate (again, most aftermarket coil springs are progressive)...

Paid $2.759 for 92 octane E10 yesterday in Rockford, IL. It helped that I averaged 39MPG on that tankful.

I am saying that a chassis dyno can be easily manipulated by the operator to spit out basically any number they want. Even if they didn't, there are many other variables which may contribute to either a higher or lower reading. A dyno is a tuning tool, not a measuring stick. That said, it is...

I think it was my love of Legos that got me into cars. When I was maybe 12 or so, my parents got me this: http://technicopedia.com/8865.html Looking back, it was a sign of things to come. It has long since been disassembled and is in storage in my basement (thus, no actual pictures from me), but...

Crazy for a Civic, Type R notwithstanding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh Jesus Christ. You can manipulate the dyno to read anything you want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the feedback. Flirting with 40 miles per gallon on the stage one tune is nothing to sneeze at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Impressive. Were you ever running just a stage one APR tune? What was that like? Stage two only requires the addition of a downpipe, correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Out of idle curiosity, how's your fuel economy with the tune? Before the tune? Obviously, the weight of your foot on the go pedal has a lot to do with it, but I'm considering adding a GTI to my fleet (probably a DSG car) and wondering how much of a hit I'll take. Bear in mind, driven gingerly, I...

I paid $2.759 in Byron,IL the other day for 93 octane E10.

'Cause everyone wants their fuel economy to max out at 16MPG.

Which bushing durometer did you go with?

Lest we miss the Red H emblem on the grill....

So much for the media embargo. Both Car and Driver and Motor Trend posted full reviews today.

Nah. Staying with a factory hood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chillin' in the garage.
