I use a MK8 GTI as my winter car with a set of GLI 35th anniversary wheels. I tried out a set of the Vredestein Wintrac Pros and they’re very good at a reasonable price from TireRack.
Winter tires stay soft and pliable at freezing temps while also having optimal tread for wet or frozen terrain...
All-Seasons are a master of nothing. If you’re going to purchase a separate set of wheels, do one set with a dedicated set of winter tires and one set with a dedicated set of summer tires.
Installed the Hybrid Racing shifter assembly today. Definitely a worthwhile modification! Installation is right around 30 mins, but add an additional 20 mins just to make sure everything is snapped together and placement of the adjustable shifter is perfect.
It has a fluid mechanical...
Next mod install will be this super sweet Hybrid Racing short throw shifter assembly. It’s going to pair real well with the no lift shifting feature of the TSP / Derek Robinson tune.
Had the ECM jailbroken through TSP/Derek Robinson at InnovativeMotorworks and then flashed with their Stage 1+ tune. Car feels great and definitely scoots.
Currently running the PRL drop-in air filter, PRL intercooler and TSP/IM Tune
Both @Two Step Performance and InnovativeMotorWorks are...
Flashed the ECM with the TSP / Derek Robinson - InnovativeMotorworks stage 1+ tune. The car scoots for sure…I’m digging it so far.
Also created some new clock screensavers in Illustrator and Photoshop ????
Dude, that's a nice looking spec with those bronze Apex wheels...Just my opinion, but i'd keep em!
Those Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02 are nice tires too.
Created a screensaver in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop this afternoon. I need to adjust the sizing so it spans the entire screen but it turned out alright. I recreated the camo wrap that Acura used for the Type-S mule.
Also purchased a tune from Two-Step Performance…just need to wait til the...
No biggie on trading in the Blackwing. I've had a shit ton of cars and they come and they go. I enjoyed the Blackwing very much but I just ended up commuting with it back-n-forth to work and then storing it from November to May here in WI. I'm just going to drive the Christ out of the Type-S and...
You also have Two-Step Performance that sends the ECMs to Innovative MotorWorks in Pennsylvania for the unlock. Depending on where you are in Cannda...That might be the closest transit time.
Early morning project. Swapped out the OEM steering wheel in favor of the optional OEM alcantara steering wheel. My last two cars had a suede steering wheel and I’ve really grown attached to the feel.
I’ve swapped many steering wheels, so this was maybe a 20-25 minute installation from...
Swapped out the OEM intercooler with the PRL and installed the gloss black emblems. Super easy installation process…Hondas always have the easiest front ends to take off. Tomorrow morning I’ll swap out the OEM steering wheel for the alcantara version.
