Rated R build

[Websitesdown]

I have never done a build thread and figured why not. This is her so far. I have only done a full " Half Detail " so far and the side windows with Xpel 15% tint and the back at the same. I'm doing the front windshield at 50% next week. I washed her off really good today but, will come back do it again and ceramic her next time around. I cleaned the rims and tires really good today as well.

When I picked her up.

Now.

congrats man

Thank you very much! Was going to get one last year but, they wanted 20k markup at the time. I only paid 5k markup for this one which wasn't great but, a lot better than 20k. I'll be adding stuff to it slowly but surely. I plan on exhaust, intake system, turbo, Rims, tune and as soon as hondata releases it, ethanol. Need to delete the delay valve on the cmc too because it's super annoying IMO.

I know I haven't posted in a while. Bought a new house, four kids and running around constantly. New mortgage payment higher than the last one which is okay, I expected it and it's well worth it. We are in the country now on an acre of land which is way better than the city life that we lived for the last 15 years.

Did a few upgrades initially and just bought some more because I paid off the last ones finally. Hopefully I'll post some pretty good content here soon. So far, I have the PRL carbon fiber high volume air intake system / turbo inlet pipe and now I purchased the two-step performance high volume air intake silicone adapter. Put it on yesterday, went well. I also ordered the Paragon two-piece rotors for the back and P2 brake pads. I also ordered the Honda can flex finally! Getting a custom tune from d-rob shortly! Let's go!

I previously purchased the stage 3 tune from drob, off the shelf version and it's been solid. I was checking my short-term and long-term fuel trims today. Looks great!

Life is going in a good direction.

Next will be turbo, downpipe, fuel pumps and injectors. I should have my newest upgrades paid off within 3 months. Ultimate goal is about 480 horsepower. I don't really get into spending money on the lowering etc. of my cars, I just go for power. I feel like the car is setup perfect the way it is honestly, handling / look wise.

I purchased the after market Honda rims as well for her and very well might get the carbon fiber wing for her as well because it's hot. I'll post some pictures of everything next week once I get done putting the new rear rotors / breaks and canflex on and slap my summer rims back on her now that the weather is warming up.

Today's the day finally! Going to be putting these bad boys on today. I'll get under the hood cleaned up some more too and post some pics of the engine bay cleaned up. Neighbor has a scanner tool and a lift so the rotors will be easier thank God.

She has 36,000 miles on her after two years! I drive a lot because of our children / work. I noticed that Paragon took the fk8 engraving off which is nice!

I put my summer rims on yesterday flushed the brake/ clutch fluid and put the new Paragon rotors and P2 brake pads on the rear. Neighbor has a lift so it made everything easier.

I'll be putting on the hondata CANflex today in our garage. I haven't started organizing our garage / tweaking it yet because I was working on the rest of our house all year last year. That'll hopefully get started this year but for now it works for doing smaller stuff on our cars when needed.

I'm going to be cleaning up the engine bay more today but wiped it all out pretty good last week. It was filthy after 36,000 miles.

Letting the engine cool down after dropping my oldest daughter off at work, for about three hours. I popped my gas lid open a little to let pressure off as well. Anyone know how to do anything else to drop fuel pressure before putting the CANflex on or is that about all I can do?

I put one on my SI I had and just did the same thing and don't remember to many issues with the fuel going everywhere to bad, guessing this will be the same..

I got the Hondata CANFlex put on the other day in my garage. Flashed my initial tune from Derek and wow the difference is night and day and it's only his first go at it. I'm tuning without ethanol right now and once he dials in the regular fuel, it'll be on to ethanol tuning. I finally feel like this car is starting to pull harder than my SI that I had before this car. Derek tuned my SI that I had as well remotely and did a great job to say the least, results from that are below.

Everything went good with the CANFlex install. I did not get fuel everywhere. I just let her sit for three hours with my gas tank lid loose and that relieved any pressure, it just dripped out when I opened the line up.

I did a third gear pull and checked over the logs and everything looked good, no retard on any cylinders and everythings getting met target wise. Super excited for the final results when Derek gets done working his magic.
