    Need Honda TPMS relearn/programming tool recommendation

    Double check and make sure you have the correct tpms sensors with the correct frequency for your car. They could have put on 433mhz sensors on by mistake.

    Need Honda TPMS relearn/programming tool recommendation

    Pretty much all of them. They do a self learning cycle after a few miles driving above 30mph.

    Hondas dont need any special tpms tool in order to relearn. It auto-learns after a few miles. You most likey have a dead battery.

    The smoke looks a bit dirty to me, but it could just be cold weather condensation? What kind of wood are you using?

    Rock Auto horrible customer service

    Did you ever stop and wonder if one or several of their warehouses was looted and their actual inventory isnt up to date? A friend of mine that owns a repair shop was having issues for a few weeks with getting parts because several hub stores were looted which threw the entire system off.

    Exterior Paint Detailing ?

    95% of shine that comes from a detail comes from the polishing/compounding step. That other 5% or less comes from the wax/sealant. If you want it looking its best, polish it. Otherwise it wont really make much of a difference.

    Oil choice for highly modified Japanese turbo 4cyl

    Oil choice for highly modified Japanese turbo 4cyl

    Are you running an accusump? What oil pan are you running? I'm almost willing to bet if it's not an extra capacity/baffled pan then that's your issue with wiped out bearings. Oil starvation. Also if you have an inadequate PCV/catch can system, at high rpms, all that oil is getting backed up in...

    DIY high capacity pan/sump?

    People who are building/using larger capacity oil sumps are not doing it for cooling or longer drain intervals. It's mostly used in conjunction with baffles and trap doors to alleviate oil starvation issues at high sustained g forces or extreme angles from off roading.

    Best wheel cleaner

    The more aggressive you go the more damaging the cleaner is. Might want to keep that in mind. Spray and rinse cleaners can be very harmful to clear coated wheels. So just stick to hand washing or use a pressure washer to blast the dirt off. Meguiars Wheel brightener is a bit more aggressive...

    Interesting formulation strategy? Idemitsu Rotary 10W-30

    Why the need for a special oil? Don't most people with a rotary go with an external tank for the OMP or just delete it and run 2 stroke?
