No I dont, but I have blown 2 tires. I ran over this huge metal thing in the road and it tore up my 2 tires. It wouldve done it whether I had 18s or OEM wheels. They are 18" Ro_Ja Formula 7s. One of them was bent when I got in an accident, so I am getting one made (s2k offset) from Ro_Ja right now. I know Jimmy bent two of his 18s, but Hubcap Annie or someone like that fixed em.

Redline fluids rock!

 

I got my 03 with 1900 miles on it (for 24500 btw ) When can I switch to redline?

 

Honda's recommendation is that you don't switch to synthetic oil in the engine before 10,000 miles. You can do the transmission and diff sooner than that though.

I'd do the diff within the first 5,000 miles. The type of fluid depends on your driving habits and what you plan to do with the car (competitive events etc.). The transmission fluid can be changed at your leisure. A lot of the guys use Redline MT-90 since it holds up to heat and seems to work very well. It can take a shift or three to warmup properly but after that it's smooth sailing.

 

I put synthetic oil in the engine at 9k and have been running it ever since, at 18k now. Currently using the RL 10w30 found in the market place that JP (ludedude) usually stocks here in Vegas.

I've had Redline mt90 in the tranny since 6k miles and it's held up great and works awesome.

I've had mobil1 75-90 syn fluid in the diff since about 6k but might move over to the RL or the LE soon.
