No worries!

It means I'm dumb and should have been typing ITS the whole time. I have no idea where the 'L' crept into my ridiculous brain. Lmao!

Still available?

Successfully installed black front A-mark without completely removing bumper Just wanted to let future DIYers who are thinking of tackling this job that it's possible to do without fully removing the front bumper. All I needed to do was remove the push rivets in the engine bay, and then the...

Sold on Civicxi! Thanks for the advice!

Just wanted to let future DIYers who are thinking of tackling this job that it's possible to do without fully removing the front bumper. All I needed to do was remove the push rivets in the engine bay, and then the push rivets and two screws in each front wheel wells. The bumper can then pop out...

I have swapped my knob out for the Honda red leather OE knob and prefer it, so this is up for sale. $175 plus shipping takes it! Can also meet up in Falls Church, VA if you are local.

I agree with this completely. I mean, it absolutely must be true or humans wouldn't be able to play a single sport effectively. That said, 30ms is pretty small from a power delivery interruption standpoint - small enough that it would need to be a cheap mod to be worth the squeeze. When you...

That's pretty small. What's the data say on the CDV delay time?

I don't disagree at all. it probably isn't necessary but given I'd rather have a more damped than less damped response so long as is doesn't appreciably slow re engagement, it doesn't feel worth the cost to remove it (to me at least).

That's a cool breadth of cars you've had experience with. I have similar experiences and it's so interesting driving cars with totally different drivetrain configurations, isn't it? So much fun! I agree with your comments on ffs scenarios. There's nothing you can do about downshifts and lift...

Nah Nah I don't believe in changing my driving style as a patch for that. I'll accept the rev hang (really more like overboost) in the meantime. The turbo lag is acceptable to me, and that can be mitigated with a flat foot shifting tune option anyway. Induced rev hang just annoys me.

I plan on tuning the car sooner than later, just to get rid of the rev hang. It's the worst part about the car.

Thanks for detail! I will try just the slave and see how that feels before evaluating whether I want to do the damper as well. I see what you mean about the unidirectionality and it makes sense. That said, I am less concerned about disengagement than re-engagement for performance driving (ie...

Good idea thanks! And yes, use Gyeon leather cleaner first, then wipe down with with a cloth dampened with water to get the cleaner completely off. Then apply the coating after the surface is dry. Very easy.

That's an interesting bit of data that I'll have to evaluate for my needs. Thank you for sharing. My theory, not backed up by data, is that the CDV, which technically does have a variable volume by the very movement of the check ball, should be inducing delay in both directions. Whereas the...

Agreed, dude. I just went for an extended drive and I'm loving the new feeling! Looking forward to getting the following parts installed next (they are in transit): Clutch-related CDV deleted slave cylinder (CDV delete only; I'm retaining the OE clutch damper unit) Gate-only HD detent spring...

The syncro engagement is more damped, and generally all vibration is damped much more. The actual size of the sphere is large, which reduces hotspots if you are shifting frequently and in anger (or on a track). I've had similar weight and shape shifters on other cars so I knew what to expect...

Agreed. I used one of his products on my C7 GS back in the day. I didn't know he was doing hybrids now. I'm gonna check them out. That said, the one I got is a beast at 500g, and I love it! It might end up being the one that gets the most uptime.
