Nice post. I went to the dealership when they were working on an older one and the technician insisted on getting them side by side. I'm glad he did.

It was too prominent for me as well. The lumbar system has two air bladders (high and low, I think) and no matter how much fiddling I did, it was too puffy. I could never get both to deflate at the same time. Or stay that way. I came up with the most redneck solution possible and split the bag...

I chose the iron rotors because I didn't want a super expensive brake job down the road. If I do a track day, it won't be super aggressive either. I'm not sure I made the right decision, but that was the thinking. I do drive it a lot, so a brake job isn't out of the question at some point. #97

I used Mobile 1 as well. I go by the oil life minder.

I'm 5-8" and raised my seat and very happy I did. Here is the thread. My approach starts at comment #10. Seat Height Adjustments

Crazy. Even though it's a Type S, what is the "special value" in the rims? These thieving parasites disgust me. On another note, I know we all come from different economic backgrounds, but leaving my Type S in an airport parking lot would never cross my mind. I'd buy a crap-olla Honda Civic to...

If I remember, I went on the long side. I think there was enough "tap-through" length left that you were not bottoming out the bolt. But just check to make sure you are comfortable and when you hit a reasonable tension, the seat rail isn't still floating around. I did double-washer the tops to...

I did a Venn Diagram of this event.

As it turns out I did a lot of height experiments over a few weeks. I ended up with 3/4" front and 3/4" rear. It took a day or two each time to realize the tilt was uncomfortable. I bought a bunch of different lengths to get the thread engagement correct. They were all 8.8 or 10.9. Due to the...

The pieces of wood in my picture are all screwed together, so they are a solid block basically. With the parking brake on, I was pushing like crazy and it was immovable. The reason I went this route was the issue of where to place the jack stand while jacking up using the pinch weld block (I...

I'm 100% comfortable going with the maintenance minder. I decided to change it myself as I really hate letting others work on it unless totally necessary. It was a satisfying project but there is no way to do seven plugs without making a bit of a mess. I can't remember what miles I was at with...

That screw kit looks super easy to get you off the road. I liked it but ended up with the mushroom kit.

Ha. That is exactly the kit I ended up buying. I clicked your link and it said "Last purchased Dec 9th". Kinda funny. Anyway, yes the NC1 has the lighter port compressor in our rear trunk, and it also has the sealant bottle. Unfortunately, I could have used the plug kit to "help" keep the...

Typical nail or screw I'm guessing. Had about a half mile "low tire pressure" warning before complete loss of air on a busy outer-belt freeway. The nail or screw was gone, but the hole was big enough the tire sealant was running out. Even maneuvering the hole to the dead-center bottom of the...
