Regarding the power output difference:
The USDM ECU is calibrated for 91 AKI = 95 RON.
The EDM ECU is calibrated for 98 RON = 93 AKI.
As an EDM-spec owner I'll say that although the suede-effect fabric looks great, it is really hard to care for. Hard to keep clean and looking good. Traps dirt...
Have you tried putting it into third first, then neutral, clutch out, clutch in, and finally into first gear? It could potentially help. It does for reverse.
Congratulations! Seems to be in really great shape!
I personally think this is an amazing pair. They provide very distinct driving experiences, while sharing the same ethos.
VLJ, let me try to help. Swapping to the ITS module takes each mode down a notch, like so:
Stiffness level: 1 2 3 4
FL5 module: Comfort Sport +R
DE5 module: Comfort Sport +R
So all you have to ask yourself is: "do I need a setting softer than...

ps: from your posts I get the sense...
I had the two above-mentioned concerns about the 3D Maxpider mats. However @DRGN just posted a mitigation strategy for the first. And the second seems to be unwarranted. So there you go! 🙂
I went so far as to buy a set of 3D Maxpider mats. But at the end of the day I didn't enjoy the utilitarian look in a car I rarely drive. I was also concerned about two things:
1. It seemed to me that the lip of the mats dug into the carpet and would leave a mark after a while.
2. That repeated...
Looks wonderful!
I was wondering: you seem to have wrapped the carpet near the dead pedal in plastic? Does it work? I'm still trying to figure out the ideal solution to protect that very sensitive area.
I got it for my 40th. I'm a lifelong Honda enthusiast. Stayed up all night to watch the world reveal. As soon as I saw the interior, I knew I had to have one. Put my name on the waitlist the very same day. 14 months later, it arrived. Hope to keep it for life!
