My old Acura Integra LS sedan manual. It was the first cheap car I bought with my own cash. It was cheap, shitty, and beat up. But I was planning to fix it and modify it (ultimate goal is to build a 4 dr Type R replica). Until the chassis hard brake lines blew and few other mechanical issues popped up after driving it…

I set the engagement point at around 5000 (pretty good in my opinion). I paid mine brand new. Based on my understanding used one should be around 350-550 depends on the market. Only thing is you will need to ensure the previous owner had uninstall the flashpro from their car since Flashpro only allow installation on…

The throttle respond can be fixed with a Hondata Flashpro tune. I had a 8th gen Si before and it completely changed driving experiences of the car. Totally worth the money!

Not 100% sure about this group but I won’t even be surprised if there are expat Chinese in the group lol

It started out as a spring cruise organized by a few local groups including North Face Rally, BMW True North, Mercedes-Benz True North and few others. Problem is those groups consisted of large population of rich kids that showed up in their daddy’s money exotic cars. And that never gonna end well.

I mean don’t knock, sorry

I am always a meaty tires / neat wheel fitment / moderately lowered suspension guy. When hellaflush/stance was starting to kick off few years ago. People around me was saying how cool and awesome was it. I gave it a try (oh god). Bought some cheap low offset XXR wheels, slammed my coilovers to the ground. Its only…

Non-enthusiast friends/family members trying to lecture me why my RWD sport car is unsafe for Canadian winter.

I had one of those as a dd/winter beater few years ago and it was one of the best car i ever owned. It is a base CX with no power option (because racecar yo), and previous owner dropped in the hotter Si D16Y8 so it nice and rev happy. Car was a blast to drive. Filling up thr tank was beyond cheap. Parts were cheap and…

Toyota seems to be obsessed with that silver and black spokes wheels lately. First the FR-S then the Corolla, now the Camry. Personally I was never a fan of those wheels. Those wheels remind me of my wheels retail days where all the “bros” that want awesome wheels on a tight budget would buy. “Because it look f**king…

For those that are clueless. Yuen Long is the best place in Hong Kong to spot rare gems/niche models/old Japanese cars. Even local residents tend to get surprise to see old/niche models in Yuen Long that would never pop up at the busier city centers.

Early 2000s in a Canadian Asian community HS. My lot consist of 3 different categories. Parent’s pass down beige Camry/Corolla/Rav4. Enthusiast kids’ modified Civic/Integra/Impreza (my group heh heh heh). And lasty rich kids’ M3/E-Class/Quattro. One kid even show up in his dad’s F360 occasionally when his dd WRX is…

2013 winter, when I was still rocking my 95 Civic winter beater with proper snow tires. Arrived at this uphill intersection with at least 5 cars stuck in the middle of the intersection (Including an Audi S4, Escalade with 20in blings, etc). All I did was maintaining my traction with good clutch work, and the biggest…

I once got upgraded to an Audi Q5 (not low mileage too!) after having problem with a rental 328i (CEL lol) at LAX. Me and my friend “drove” (typical rental car treatment) the Q5 on a 2 weeks California + Nevada road trip (drove about 2000+ miles all together I believe). The Q5 never got a check engine light or any…

One little fact, all the RHD imports in our market are very attractive but FYI, insurance are pain in the ass to sort out (and won’t be cheap!) if you live in Ontaro or Quebec (Quebec runs 25 years old cut off for grey market imports like USA!). (hence why I drive a FR-S instead of a almighty S15 Silvia).

Hands down the current Rocket Bunny/Liberty Walk/whatever widebody trends. I do understand the need of widebody when you need to fit wider tires for functional purpose. But for the show scene where fanboys are fitting widebody and still running stupid offset/stretched tires. That really grind my gears. (FYI I don’t…

W124 coupe. Always have a soft spot on one of those.

As a former Si owner that traded a RSX Type S for it. 100% approved. The 8th gen Si was truly an overrated car. I bought it expecting to be a better RSX Type S, ended up completely disappointed.

I think my experience with my old Civic Si can be relevant to this. I owned that car for 6 years and I swear that car is cursed. Honda are supposed to be reliable but mine constantly gave me reliability headaches (mind you I bought the car brand new). I went through 2 MAF, 2 seized calipers, 2 bad wheel sensors, 1 bad…

I am surprised how Audi managed to get 4th in reliability. My parent is at their second B8 A4 2.0T (Ya...... I know....) and both of them never survive more than 2 years without majo  warranty repair on the POS 2.0T engine. Also 2 other guys I know that also own B8 A4 suffered the same issues with their POS 2.0T......
