advanced timing and other misc. questions
is there a cheaper way to advance the timing with out getting the timing light? also, are the gains from this mod significant enough to notice? while i have your attention, those who have the AEM CAI, how often do u clean the filter? If you guys are not sick by now, what tire pressure is good for track? daily driving? Oh, and lastly, i have 6000 miles on my R, is it ready for syn oil? hehe, 5w 30 or 10w 30? Thank you

You can move the distributer toward you about 1-2 cm and you have just adjuster your timing by almost 2-degrees.
But I would still use a timing light

Just borrow a timing light off someone. It only take 5mins.
My timing was adjusted at my 1 year service, advanced 2.5 degrees.
My car is completely stock, I'll be changing my timing back to startard this weekend. This is why.......
It did make a couple of differences....
1) Fuel economy was better.
2) VTEC Engages smoother.
Like I said, My car is 100% stock, and these were the only differences it made. If you have some Mods, well it might be different. I don't really care about fuel economy and I miss the VTEC kick in the pants. So I'll be moving it back.
Later.

I want to advance the hybrid 2 degrees. Just didn't know if 92 was good enough.
Thanks!
