Yep the email that the pherable tune comes with has the instructions for which spark plugs to use at what gap. Also, when you order the tune, you're supposed to indicate what octane fuel you use. Stock boost is around 15 or 16 psi, map 3 is 25 psi. I had factory plugs for a few days before I...

Ah sorry, was thinking of the adapter for the 1.5t 3in exhaust/fp. Looks like 2.0t fp comes with both/you can use either shape. You should hear it hissing if not sealed.

On the Aspec CVT I get 29 around town, 36+ hwy. I mostly only drive 14 miles/day for work, though. Maybe 250 miles/month. I'm on 93, phearable 1.5r, auto start/stop disabled

PRL has a high volume exhaust adapter that goes between fp and exhaust - did you look at using that? Just a thought

Since you have the MT I fear you may enjoy doing the same thing to the type s more. If I finish my next round of mods (turbo and suspension) i'll be at about the same cost as a type s for (still) less car. That said, the fully modded Aspec is indeed super fun. If you're hungry for power and...

Update on trans cooler/trans temps: So far the ETL trans cooler seems to keep trans temps 10-18 degrees cooler during casual driving, and 9-12 degrees cooler during spirited driving. Interestingly, this also seems to have positively impacted the engine coolant temps. I'm guessing this is...

It's pretty cool - might even look at red vinyl on the rear tail lights. I think I've seen a "jdm style" red vinyl for those

Actually like that a lot - haven't seen it done yet. The skirts are my favorite, but would opt for no bumper lip line Maybe the acura emblems with no backing (so body color), but add the red vinyl over the chrome?

Finally made it so i could park in the garage today... old house/steep driveway problems. Platform gives 4.5in of height and is 76in wide x 130in long. Ramp portion is 76in wide by 60 inches long, ripped 2x4s corner to corner for the grade. Made 6 ramp spines inset 2.5in, 10.5in, and 28in...

Thinking you shouldn't have to remove the battery to install the air intake I'd heavily consider the turbo inlet and front pipe. The RMM is easier to install when you have the FP out. The turbo inlet will need to mate to the new air intake so it'd be a pretty simple "while you're in there," but...

The aspec has this as well

Yep - have the prl throwback strut bars front & rear. Think it should come from the factory with those or similar installed. I'd note that the 27won front strut bar is the only one with an integrated brake master cylinder brace, though. With the rear sway - definitely some user error, but...

Comfort mode too soft for me even on daily driving. There's a 20mph curved offramp that I can take at 50 in sport, but maybe 30 in comfort mode. Another 35mph one that I can do at 65 in sport, but maybe 45 in comfort. The front and rear tower struts did the most for cornering for me. I think...

What gauges did y'all go with? I was looking at the Defi Advance RS II for oil temp and oil pressure yesterday, but hard to find a retailer that has them

Got the extended warranty.. still modded 😅 Honestly I'd take a look at the tuning threads between here and the civicxi forums - there are some known issues with modding/tuning but they're pretty limited and pretty easy to trace the cause and effect. Anecdotal, but most warranty issues I've...

Artwork bodyshop rear cutout delete installed Before After

Here's the before and after

Is this a hypothetical or did ya throw a code?

Went to the shop for oil change and went ahead and had the ETL trans cooler sandwich plate installed. So glad its on there - will report back on how my trans temps have adjusted with it on. Just hit 10k miles so did the trans fluid drain and fill as well while they were in there. Pic of the...
