Which mm and bushings did you choose?

just ordered the PRL RMM and the Acuity bushings. was considering the 27won street version but didn't like that it was cast. the PRL is billet and uses a different bushing material. stock RMM is a little too soft for my liking. haven't had a chance to install them yet but i've replaced shifter bushings on other cars with great improvement.

That won't work with Hondata. I believe it’s traceable even when one flashes it back to factory setting.

I want Hondata so bad….

Well the ecu does not really show anything except for key cycles when its flashed to stock. So it’s pretty hard to prove. Sure they can suspect it and whatnot but hey got to be willing to pay to play.

From all my testing, the most important performance mods in no specific order. Rear mount, hondata or software of your choice, downpipe, intercooler, brake pads, and fluid.

Good things to change, rmm and shifter bushings with detent springs were some of my first mods and it made the car feel better for me personally.

is it still worth it to get a 3 inch downpipe if you leave the stock 2.5 inch exhaust? seems like a waste unless you get a full 3 inch exhaust no?

The full exhaust will give you a bit of more breathing room but not needed until higher horsepower levels.

With a downpipe and a drop in filter you will get most of the flow you need to max out the stock turbo.

Springs and wheels

 

[TO_FL5_CW]

Alcantara steering wheel and JDM boot shifter, ppf/ceramic/tint, suspension, rock guards.

I'd add a quality rear motor mount.

OEM Honda Forged wheels for me. 5lbs less rotational mass per corner is huge for me.

AWE Touring Exhaust was mine, then 5# each lighter SSR 19" wheels with less offset to fill out the wheel wells a little.

I'm not very car-savvy, but why upgrade the RMM before installing rigid collars?

I haven't read anything negative about the collars, but I've definitely read about problems with the RMM, mostly that it can be too stiff, and transfer more vibration and noise than desired.

I thought it would be rigid collars, then springs or something similar, before motor mounts.

My favorite first mod was LED rear blinkers and LED reverse lights honestly. hahaha.

Thanks. Mine won't see the track, so maybe it's best to start with the PRL rmm.
