Maybe it's knowing that ITR's are irreplaceable, or perhaps a sense that even the simplest mods are disliked by my car.
For whatever reason, I stress over every little new vibration, or engine nuance.
I just installed a new header and CAT, simple right? no, not to me... I have to double, triple, quadruple check everything... and of-course something won't sound right.
Do you all feel the same?
Maybe I just discovered ITROCD.

 

asides your screenname on this board looking like oprah to me ....

yes, there are some enthusiasts here that share the same views.

 

i'm the same way. ever since i put my jdm 4-1/carsound cat i keep hereing this ticking noise like the car needs a valve adjustment. i did one last month and i still hear it. it's driving me up the fuq'n wall. could it be just the header or the cat or the combo or header and still running the stock exhaust???

 

for me, Every noise heard = one click higher on the radio volume dial.. repeat until you can't hear the noise.

 

When the car stops going foward, that is when you know you need to fix something

 

Pretty much my point of view as well. I used to suffer from ITROCD, but now, it's "Burn her to the ground, then by a new CTR or RSX-R." (Hopefully they'll be here by then... )

 

My intake whistles like you wouldn't believe (at least I think it is my intake). I have a K&N drop in with a DIY icebox.

Partial throttle will make it whistles like the AEM CAI. It even whistles as your coasting or engine braking (more subtle whistle that can only be heard with the window down). At first I thought it was my wheel bearing, but as soon as I press the clutch in, the whistling goes away.

 

I have a buzzing sound at 4100RPM.

 

I just like my car to be clean in and out. Road noise is fine. Nothing falling apart.

 

or go deaf

 

well, that would work too Vagisil! the stock radio isn't that loud though so I don't I'd go deaf that way.

edit: had to edit since a mod edited out my pet name for him.

You should see me and my worry over cone marks after an autocross...

Oh well, it's who and am and I like me...

 

Where is the buzzing coming from? I finally tracked down my buzzing/rattling sound in my car.

The stupid coin holder.

 

Sounds like engine or tranny. Possibly distributor.
