Biggest difference I noticed was the strength of the centering spring, it’s significantly beefier than the stage 2 one. Knob height adjustment is also nice and not available with the stage 2 kit. Acuity said that setting 3(of 5) for the gate spacing and throw distance is roughly equivalent with...
Yea, just to add to the above – I think a lot of general maintenance stuff would be great to cover too. I'm pretty new to cars and have managed to do a few bolt on upgrades, but should probably have a sounder understanding of more typical maintenance things. I don't think it needs to be...
This is great! Super excited to see you guys doing this and reaching out for ideas!
Personally, would love to see some in depth videos on the turbo kit install, suspension upgrades like changing out springs/dampers (and maybe camber arms as a bonus), brake pad/fluid replacement, BBK install, and...
The clutch model by itself without the flywheel holds less than the version with the upgraded flywheel. I don't know if SPEC even has the model with the flywheel advertised on their site. Also, note that I think those numbers are rated from the crank, not at the wheel so expect holding power to...
@MAPerformance maybe a bit of an outlandish idea but would you consider investigating what would go into stuffing a 2.0T Accord engine into our engine bays...? I love our little 1.5T but might be a fun alternative if it blows up lol
I had the stage 2 kit for about 6 months and it was really great, but I highly recommend the stage 3. It has more adjustability and feels like a complete unit. It's hard to describe but as someone mentioned, stage 2 feels like an enhanced OEM shifter but stage 3 is kind of it's own thing. It's...
Just a quick update on the shifter from me - it felt like it's broken in a little after a week or two or use. The centering spring is still firm, but definitely more compliant than when it was first installed.
The throws were starting to feel a bit too long with the more conservative settings...
Sooo finally got a chance to install the new shifter today and again I'm blown away by the quality of acuity's products. I'm probably just parroting the other reviews so far, but I think @baldheadracing is pretty spot on with his characterization of the stage 2 kit vs the full assembly.
The...
Wonder if someone would be kind enough over the next few days (while the first batch is getting in there) to take some pics of the tab or point out exactly where you're supposed to jam the screwdriver to pry em out. Not looking forward to that part, I remember mine being stuck in there pretty...
Mine was supposed to be delivered today too but USPS was slacking. Will have to pick it up from the post office tomorrow.
Any tips for removing the cables from the OEM shifter housing? Last time I tried this was with the Alta shifter cable lockdown and I couldn't get them out. I know there's...
I think the correct wiring is here, but a bit more complex than the basic install: https://www.civicx.com/threads/finally-switchback-side-marker-amber-at-night-and-blink-with-turn-signal.27794/#post-467478
Huuuuge shout-out to @Two Step Performance for their amazing customer service!! Just pulled the trigger on the stage 2+ w/ steel flywheel and an intercooler :D
Getting excited for 2019 like
:dance:
Yeah, in fact I don't know how you were able to pull the plug that far out lol. I did most of the work inside the wheel well through that 2x2 inch gap. Anyway, it looks correct to me so far, hope this isn't a case of the blind leading the blind lol
@MuffinMcFluffin I feel the pain, I think the "easy to install" version is the one with the bulbs which is a simple swap. Most likely, I'm guessing the metal piece inside the splice is not fully clamped in, causing it not to turn Amber. I had this issue a bit until I really squeezed down the...
Maybe @procivic can chime in, but that's the way that I got everything back in there neatly. As for the wires, yes, the gray wire is positive in this case. You should be able to tap the wire, bundle the rest of it up and keep it pretty neat in there. Almost always, the black wire signifies...
@MuffinMcFluffin This is the approach that I tried originally, only to realize that yes – the plug with the connector needs to be stuffed back into the marker. This means that the splice cannot be connect to the red wire as shown, since there's no way to reattach the housing to the marker and...
Haha well, I'm no pro - this was the first kind of install I've done like this and I had a lot of the same questions/concerns as you. Not totally sure how I feel about doing this for someone else's car lol ;)
It's really not too bad once you open it up though, it's just kind of a tight space to...
@MuffinMcFluffin I'm gonna open mine back up tonight, one of the markers is running a bit dimmer than the other. Think the connection might've gotten loose with rain/shitty roads. I'll try to include some pictures or short videos while I'm at it, if that helps.
