Had a State Farm adjuster look at my hail damage. Received a check to repair it.
It will be fixed. The hood sustained the most damage and will be replaced.
I haven't owned many cars that I count as just "mine" - vehicles in our household belong to both my wife and I. With that said -
1985 Honda Prelude coupe (mine; pre-marriage)
1993 Infiniti G20 sedan (mine; pre-marriage)
1995 Mazda Protege sedan (wife's car; pre-marriage)
2000 Oldsmobile Alero...
I guess as far as batteries go, I'm one of the lucky ones. With nearly 87,000 miles on my 2014 Civic SI, I'm still on the original Honda battery. Although I did sustain hail damage the other day, so there's that.
If you don't want to deal with rolling and/or pulling your fenders and are at stock ride height, the safe zone is about +37mm to +42mm.
That should give you a decent selection of wheels from which to choose.
Things get more complicated as you lower your car on springs, bags, or coilovers.
Hey everyone -
I need a bit of advice for an upcoming suspension mod on my 2014 FB6.
I am going to lower it with Swift Spec-R springs, but I'm not entirely sure what dampers to use.
I have a new set of Koni Yellow rear shocks that I could use, but I'm not sure if new OEM dampers might be...
Gave it a good bath to get all the salt and crap off. Also changed the drivers side wiper blade rubber; unfortunately, the passenger side refill was too short! So I have to get another one. Hope to lower it a tad this summer.
I know exactly what you mean. It was darn near 70 here yesterday, and its supposed to be warm the rest of the weekend. I rolled the dice and put my all-seasons back on today. Let's hope I don't regret it.
I am debating as to whether I should remove my winter setup this weekend or not (I am due for an oil/filter change and tire rotation anyway, so I'm really not adding any work). We have had scant snow since late December, but Midwest winters can be weird (we've had snow in April before....)...
What are the specs on the wheels you are wanting to purchase? It's impossible to say if you will have rub with a certain set of tires without knowing the other variables in the system.
It is true that Eaton superchargers are used on many OEM applications, and do have a favorable reputation for reliability. Generally, the problems arise with all the supporting mechanisms which enable the user to install forced induction on a vehicle that did not arrive from the manufacturer...
Do NOT put aftermarket forced induction on your daily driver. In my experience, the more you mess with a car, the less reliable it becomes.
You've been warned.
