Scooby Newbie Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Those look like wagon versions. How do they sound, do you like them?They sound pretty sweet, not too loud, just a throaty base. Sounds like the engine is gargling the gas. They stick out from the bumper a fair bit, so a little obnoxious but I think I'm happy with them overall. Next step is to cat back them!

It's just in my car tracking app to help me keep up my maintenance. But I've always tracked my mpg just to see if anything changes in the car.

What if I told you my wagon came with a little book containing the cost, location, and mileage for each tank of gas put on it from the day it was brand new until the day I bought it?

Sufficed to say, entirely too much. @flickers who in the Hell keeps gas spending totals? Nerd alert! I spent $24k for the car + $8k for the engine rebuild. Probably at least another $8k into other parts and some maintenance items (like me paying someone to do the timing belt water pump the first time) I probably have close to $40k into the car. it's worth like $4k according to KBB. Investment....lol I really should have bought an STI. It still would have been worth something.

Infosecdad Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 downward trending these days Your trendline shows <1mpg decline over approx 9 years? That's awesome.

I wish my wife's Odyssey was anywhere close to that consistent as it ages (poorly) I had the civic for 12 years. Outside of stuff on the roof it always got 32mpg. Even with my foot in it. Bike racks took it to 28mpg. And then this one time I drove from Albuquerque to moab. I stopped in moab because there was NO way my 12 gallon tank wasn't empty. Gauge must have gone out. Nope. 48mpg over 365 miles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I had one of them on my sedan awhile ago and kinda really liked it. My impression was less front flex at slow speed and over transitions, like entering an angled driveway. I'd say noticeable for sure. Sent topfeed injectors to WitchHunter. Waiting game.

bergs Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 What I did to my 4th Gen LGT today: The good: Passed NH state inspection! The not-so-good: During the inspection, I was informed of a loose lower right ball joint so I asked my mechanic to replace it. He noticed a hack job on my front right steering knuckle during replacement of the lower ball joint. Some bonehead stripped the original threads on the pinch bolt, likely while replacing that particular ball joint. Then, as a result of a lousy drill job, this person somehow managed to break the knuckle at the pinch point. My mechanic took the time to weld the piece back into place in order to complete the repairs however the need to replace the knuckle assy will be an added cost to my already increasing suspension bill. All that said, can anyone comment on ride quality of KYB GR2's on a 1" drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyF Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 GR2 same as Excel G; I run H&R Springs with those at about a 1" drop and they're perfectly fine, just make sure you have good bump stops in front and don't shave them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It was noticeable? That's good news. I figured it would just be bling and it was a cheap auction. The effect is noticeable, yes. The only potential drawback is that it was blocking 5MT drain plug iirc. Easy to remove though when you service the tranny. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 249K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 272K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
