    Stock 2G AWD brakes. That's exactly what I was suggesting. For me it was a night and day improvement over what was on my car originally and I suspect the same would be true for any of the FWD cars RS to GST.

    I mostly quit buying over the counter awhile ago and buy online. On the older cars its orders of magnitude cheaper. For instance I stock up on windshield wipers at 3$ instead of 15 to 20. Brake pads online are very inexpensive.

    This week is 2018 Honda V6 with 107K mi stuff in the evenings. (MDX) Aisin timing belt set, valve adjust, intake valve cleaning, coolant flush, $park plugs, driveline fluids, bleed brakes, etc.Thus far I can say the PCV was super dirty and...

    Before V3 you only had the global to work with and it was applied to whatever the internal map was interpolated to. Those of us who worked directly with the factory binary would go and modify what ECMLink calls InjBatteryAdj.It's my...

    Much appreciation you coming on here and giving an update.It is frustrating when critical parts go on back order status, especially when the OEM units have been disco'd for some time.My biggest frustration with the years-long back order, was...

    I really like your idea, I kind of tried it once we re did the job and lubricated the necessary parts even shaved the shims to fit better. My mechanic did look for wheel hub bearing but he said it wasn’t needed on my left side. My right side...

    Fair point. I knew you were talking about a brand.I run stock size brembo rotor blanks. Theyre coated and wear well. I picked a brand name non organic pad. Works fine for what I do. If I tracked the car i would pick something different. I also...

    When you make the DA change to 0 out the global deadtime, are you offsetting for the voltage differences as well? Just curious how you set it up, I'm still super new to ECMLink and trying to learn it and the theory behind it. I was only trying to...

    Global Deadtime and InjBatteryAdj are the same thing the two are summed together to arrive at the injector deadtime the ECU uses. I prefer once things are dialed in to update the DA table and leave the global at 0 but that's to eliminate...

    Perhaps we are being confusing, I think the Brembo parts being considered are pads or rotors not some BBK.

    I'll chime in. As with any part/mod what do you need it to do? Are you repeating 120mph stops on track? No? Then you don't need large brakes. Can you do them anyway? Sure. Is your car primarily a driver and you dont exceed 75mph? Likely any stock...

    I would pull the front differential drain plug as well as you stated. Start out with 1 gallon, start the car, put it through every gear on jack-stands to get the fluid pumping through the entire thing. Then put it in neutral running and add fluid...

    From what I can see, the reason your global deadtimes are so high is it looks like you didn't put the injector data in to the Direct Access InjBatteryAdj table. You'll have to interpolate some values but for example, your log shows @ 12v your...

    Not sure of your location, but Pick-n-Pull nationally shows 4 2GB's: You must be registered to see element.You'll probably want to find something local enough to pick up because bumpers are a pain/expensive to ship.

    If you can spin the compressor clutch by hand and it's not binding, compressor is not seized. As long as the compressor had no open ports in which the dirt and water was constantly falling, it should be alright. I do believe you can just buy a...
