The KN filter does nothing. waste of money imo.

I saw a post where somebody had done a test, the stock filter outflows what the engine actually takes in anyways.

 

So Fram or WIX? No preference?

 

the WIX is the better of the oil filters. but I use Fram oil filters anyway, as long as you regularly change the oil.

if we're talking about air filters, OEM would be best. If you can, compare your air filter with the Fram and Wix. I bet you the OEM one is made of better materials and is put together better.

and wtf, do you really really need an air filter? does it get dusty in OrlandO?

 

I put OEM air filter, Fram oil filter.

 

My bad, I was talking about the engine air filter not oil.

What do you mean by if I really need the air filter? Lol.

It's only bad when there is road construction going on. Other than that, it's about average on the dust scale I assume lol.

 

i check my brothers truck and mothers Kia's air filter often. and they're not that dirty, at all.
my TL sits all day, so it's an unfair comparison.

but damn, your city MUST BE SUPER dirty to clog up an air filter.

 

I never said it was clogged. I bought a 2011 used and wasn't sure the last time it was changed so figured I'd do it. I actually looked yesterday and it wasn't looking bad, I could definitely use it much longer if I wanted.

I was leaning toward k&n since its reusable but guess I'm going oem. Which website would have the best price?

 

I checked mine last weekend (it was changed 8k miles ago) and it had some crap in it... i drive a lot though and my car lives outside.

 

Too soon, junior.

 

i need to buy a go pro is there a price difference win the states vs canada ?

used my buddies go pro to take this and I'm in love.

 

Do you even boob, bro?

 

Way to break the c-c-c-combo, noob.

 

When it's a boob war, you bring out the big guns.

Stand down, rookie.

 

It was an Alison Brie war.

That was your first mistake, greenie.

 

It was a mistake opening up this thread on a computer at school.

 

there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to change it.

a dirty air filter will only affect performance and the stock filter outflows the throttle body.
so you would need A FILTHY CLOGGED FILTER to impede flow to the throttle body to notice anything is wrong.

 

So you're saying that second gif of yours was Alison? I didn't even realize, hence why I went with Rachel Williams. Guess I britta'd it.

Hahahaha.
Hmm, I guess. I'll get some shots if anything, but it was nothing near clogged. Maybe a few center pleats but that's about it.

 

just trying to save you some coin!

 

Haha true. I just wanted to do some basic maintenance/baby it lol

 

the cabin air filter on the other hand, gets dirty very quickly and can impede air conditioning

 

Already ordered one. And yeah it was pretty dirty.

TSXy, you'll lose with this one for sure.

Is XXR any good though? I like their designs, but I've heard many bad things about the quality of their wheels.

 

they are very affordable. take that anyway you want to.
for someone that cant afford $2000 rims+tires, XXR's do the job nicely! especially with their reps or look a likes of other brand name wheels.
Most of the Houston acurazine members run XXR's.
only cuz that cant afford anything else

 

I haven't read anything about the quality being bad.

All i want is a lightweight 18" wheel with a simple design. I don't like most of the ugly stuff people put on with giant chrome lips or weird designs.

 

I'm fine if the quality is good.. I just don't want the wheels cracking/falling apart while I'm driving like this http://jalopnik.com/5953859/this-guy...is-blaming-him

This is why I've been looking for a set of the OEM 18's since I cannot afford HRE's or ADV1's.

 

^there's at least 5 houston peeps with XXR's and they've all had them for more than 2 years

 

if you could afford ADV1's...I dont think you'd be in the TSX.
i see your instagram!! all those hawt exotics!

 

personally i would not buy xxrs, my buddy has had tons of issues with his. he's had two warp on him, one cracked, and the finish on the wheels is lacklustre from what i hear.

 

hmm maybe not then.

any suggestions for a lighter than stock 18" wheel?

 

you get what you pay for.
dafuq you expect for all 4 rims for $600?

with that being said, my buddies have no problem with them

 

there's only so many....
volks

 

What about Enkei?

 

lol true. One day I'll blow my entire Petroleum Engineering salary on a R35 and a set of ADV1s.

 

our stock rims are made by Enkei

 

These don't seem bad then:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price

$684 for the set.

Bridgestone Potenza Re760 sport is $560 for the set.

 

Oh nice find. I like the way those look too. 22lb vs 25lb for stock. Actually the xxrs were somehow lighter at 20lb (unless that's a straight up lie)

 

Why are the OEM wheels like 2k then if they're made by Enkei!?

 

There not 2k? i've seen tsx stockies go for like $600.

 

Because Honda can charge what ever the fuck they want.
I believe most Honda wheels are Enkei
I know yours are and mine are

 

I mean the 18" V6 ones.

Acura charges $2,264 and $800 for crappy MXM4 tires in 18" size.
+ Whatever it was for installation.

I lol'd when this is what I was quoted by the dealer.
