So the APR side skirts definitively look a bit different than in the photos. Here are some video to really show them off. APR make some good stuff.

I disagree.

I'm not a fan of big wings on street cars but it does not look out of place on this car.

I would rock that wing too. Aggressive!

 

[gohan408]

it works when you have aggressive aero to match

Happy black Friday y'all. My Chasing Js engine coil cover and oil cap came in this morning so I just installed them.

Happy Cyber Monday. Played hookie from work and decided to do some stuff with the car.

I wanted to change the oil and install the prl charge pipes.

Removed the hvi, left my battery in. Loosened the bracket and I was able to get the stock upper pipe out. This is not a difficult insall. But... you have to drop the bumper.

Under the car I found a push tab missing again, 3 siezed screws to the aluminum shroud. Yes I rounded them.

So...by the next oil change, I need to order new parts and remove the old with a few beers while listening to the Doors.

Luckily, I have a Stahlbus valve. This system allowed me to get the oil changed with no major mess or issue.

Put Motul 8100POWer. Checked the catch can. Not a lot in the catch....but still some to make me content with it.

Cleaned the air filter since I had it out.

Put it all back together with no extra bolts this time.

And showed off the pin from @RUNN1N

Check out the squeez factor in the stock and prl. The oem is very very soft and plyable. Prl is firm.

Why prl and not hks? I feel the prl will insulate the outside/inside temps slightly better. So I assume it could keep the air cooler compaired to hks aluminum.

I really don't think one is noticebly better than other however. Besides it appears I am the prl fan boy under my hood so why not right? ?

Got a tiny bit of snow and put the winter wheels on!

Some time around Halloween I installed the Viofo A229 dash and rear cam. Ultimately I chose this camera because of its capabilities but I really preferred he Fitcamx because of how integrated it looks. The front camera does take up a little bit of visual real estate but not enough to distract or impede (IMO). Install was easy enough and I bought a power adapter as well so I didn't need to tap into the fuse box or anything for the front cam. I ran the cabling for the front camera behind the rearview mirror and routed the cable for the rear cam around the driver's side headliner.

Initially I was sloppy with routing the cable for the rear because I really didn't want to take the car apart to hide the cable. It ended up looking like crap and coming loose from behind the headliner and actually impeded some of my vision when looking through the rearview. Today I spent an unreasonable amount of time rerouting the cable through the factory grommet for the third brake light and under the plastic hatch trim. The cable is fully hidden and looks so much better.

Also swapped out the PRL filter for an AEM Dryflow filter. Credit to the FL5 member "timestamped" that did the research for the AEM p/n 21-2093DK. See thread below:

https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/aem-dryflow-filter-for-prl-hvi-intake.55457/

I was hoping the filter was small enough to be able to be removed without needing to use the access panel but unfortunately it was way too big. Which is fine, any smaller and I feel we would lose too much surface area for the cone filter anyway.

Still a worthwhile mod, to me, since I prefer dry filters over oiled due to the potential for oil fouling on the MAF sensor. One less step to deal with when it comes time to service the damn thing in (hopefully) another 50k miles.

AEM vs PRL, both Made in USA

AEM filter will not fit through the front inlet

What did you pick up for an adapter? The Dongar mirror tap?

When the tuner tells you to start in 3rd gear at 2k rpm and rip it to 4th gear redline in race mode ( Map 4 - Race2 - More aggressive first and second gear than all, traction control almost nonexistent and more launch control slip allowed.) I got scared at the top of third when it was losing traction!

it's California cold at night 48 degrees F.

E85 flexfuel tune is nice and a respectable bump in performance.

Stock
297 whp and 320 wtq

E30 flex with some bolt-ons
402 whp and 430 wtq.
