Point/benefit for fumoto valve compared to just letting it drain?

 

Hello Ryu,
question,
How many miles you have before you change your AT Transmission for the first time?
Thanks

 

minimize oil spills.

 

35k ish bmw

 

35k? That seems kind of early

I thought it could closer to 100K?

 

iono i read 30k, some people 60k now u say 100k.

 

A beauty! Well worth it for for the price. I will retain my stock box in case, but no CEL so far and it's been a blast!






Only took about 30mins. I had no clue where the "L" shaped bracket was to "slide in and mount to the neck of the filter" but it's solid.

Out





In but loose (Fitment)





In (For good)

Will post a sound clip of the "Tec" to my YT channel.

 

Im doing 2x DF every 30k miles too.

When you checked the level, how did you warm up the fluid? Just drive, or did you idle till the fan came on?

 

Glued Red and Blue button from a screw cover on my scissor to my JDM LED Dome Light/Plasmacluster Air Purifier:

Actually I have to buy 3 scissor since the blue scissor came in a package with a pink and green scissor...
so I know have 4 scissor (with the red one that I bought initially) hahaha
here is the picture of the green scissor on my desk:
(notice the round green button,... that is what the button look like before I took it out and glued it to the dome light)

 

Recording Sound Clip

 

This sounds incredible... I agree it does sound like a BMW (Alpina) V6. I wonder if I can achieve similar sounding results by swapping the OEM resonator with either the civic or dynomax resonator...

A quick update- my Fit Shuttle grilles finally arrived in the US... it should be here soon

 

Hi CounterFIT,
I don't think you can because the Civic Si 2013 resonator use a 2 1/2in inlet and outlet while the 2010 Civic Si Muffler use a 2 1/4in inlet outlet,
so I think you need to change to 2 1/4in piping.
The whole larger piping I think contribute to the lower frequency sound.

I don't feel any loose in torque or anything with the 2 1/4in piping,
I actually feel it reach high rpm much easier.
The key is do NOT use the Civic Si 2013 muffler because the 2013 muffler will make the car sound louder... the 2010 muffler is semi straight through,... you can see the inlet if you peek from the outlet, but it had a little kink / chamber so it maintain a bit of back pressure eventhough
it have 2 1/4in inlet outlet.
Beside I think the 2013 muffler is larger in size and I can barely fit the 2010 muffler which I have to install it SLANTED in order for it to fit.

Last night I just ordered a Vibrant resonator model 1790 which is about 3in shorter in length and 0.5 in smaller in diameter than the Dynomax,
the reason is because the Dynomax located just behind the second cat
had very little ground clearance and it keep touching the speed bump each time I go over it directly, so I have to take it at an angle and that is annoying hahaha
so I am going to take out the dynomax and replaced it with Vibrant.
I hope the Vibrant resonator will not change the sound much...
I will know this weekend...

 

Isn't the stock piping 2.5in? I also wasn't planning on getting the civic muffler as well, solely the resonator. If you have a good experience with the Vibrant resonator I may consider that instead... Again I'm just thinking about cutting out the stock resonator and replacing it with a bullet muffler/resonator for an improved sound. Not even sure if this would yield good results.

 

from what I read here the stock piping is around 1.75in...
I have my stock piping down at my basement,
if I measure it and turn out it is not 1.75, then I will let you know,
but for sure it is much smaller than my current 2 1/4in piping.

If you cut the stock resonator and replace it with a bullet type,
I think what it will do is just make the car sound a bit louder but not change the tone much...

 

Here's a sound clip of the new SRI. All around disc brakes help a lot with stopping!

 

I have always thought how cool it is that an intake makes that much of a difference in sound.

 

Yeah, I think you're right... I probably won't mess with the exhaust for now lol

 

BMW Alpina I have no idea why you glued a button from a pair of scissors to your dome light, but I am not going to argue with a mad scientist such as yourself haha

 

Hi Mr. Hollow, hahaha
the reason is, I sometimes forget which button is for the light and which button is for the PlasmaCluster Air Purifier, especially if I was driving
in the night and want to turn on the Air Purifier but instead mistakenly
press the button for the dome light,...
but now I can see if it is blue then it is for light
while if it is red then it is the Air Purifier
I am kinda old now so I often forget the button location
plus it looks kinda cute with colored button

 

Thanks...its a real joy for DD now!
