17.8 avg mpg during the break-in? You've been having fun 😉. I believe my break-in avg mpg was like 25-28 mpg. Now it's 20-22 avg mpg.
It’s been 19 to 20 with no downshifting to lights but was in stop in go traffic a little and about 10 minutes or so idling in the gas line also no freeway. I roll on it periodically to just keep her honest lol I believe in easier driving during break-in but not granny driving.
Hell I thought I was doing good my other type r I only averaged around 14 before and after brake-in 🤣
Been mostly 3000 to 4000 rpm’s and try to stay out of boost as much as possible Scouts Honor😆

1012 miles. Changed the oil, installed Fumoto valve and ordered a ANNLV skid plate after seeing the tinfoil one honda put on there. The screws were on there at like 400 lb/ft. Thankfully the drainplug and filter were normal.

Went to the exhaust shop near me this morning, had them remove the front resonator. I did the “valve open” mod just before going. Wow, this is how the car should’ve sounded outta the gate. It’s not loud my any means but has a deeper growl. Glad I did it!! Just as preventative measures, I did buy someone’s stock exhaust, which was a new takeoff, just in case I didn’t like it. So now I have a practically new exhaust system that was used for 100 miles, bought it for $140 hanging on the ceiling of my garage. Lol.

Longterm, I’ll likely do a high flow cat or completely catless so I still wanted that mid resonator in there.

Yeah man, i replaced those Phillips screw head ones, for 10mm bolts. PiTA to remove. I used the rotor screw removal tool to get those off.

stupid question - did you just buy new u-clips and bolts to do this or just stuff some bolts in there? I started to try to take mine down but didnt want to destroy stuff (using an impact driver lol) and have nothing to replace it.

I still use the plastic flat-head grey screws, i replaced the ones towards the motor mount screw, there’s two Phillips screw that are nearly impossible to remove.

i bought a set of the replacement ones and maybe ive just got dumb luck (picking the two phillips head screws). I remember trying to pull off two of the screws off but they were both phillips head and impossible to get out. ill get my impact driver out and take a look when this weather calms down. Are people not replacing the 1/4 turn ones as well, or do those seem to hold up alright?
