alright, well I recently purchased a 17 EX-T sedan (actually was buying my wife a 16 CRV on the year end clearance sale and saw this 6MT sitting there and I know they aren't usually just sitting on the lot and took it as a sign since it was even the right body and right color combo so I jumped on it before anybody else could)
I am also starting a youtube channel on the car, and will attempt to give proof in the form of dyno numbers and 1/4 mile times as to what certain mods/tunes will do for this car. the youtube name is caraddict and I will be uploading videos as I do the mods so you can see for yourselves what each mod will do. If you want to keep track here is the link to the channel.

I have so far only swapped out the interior bulbs for LEDs and ordered clear protection film for the front end.
plans for the car are (in somewhat of a planned chronological order but its definitely open to change)
*CAI, possibly INJEN but also looking at this AF Design job on ebay, intake is one of those things I have a hard time paying so much money for when its essentially a tube with an air filter. and now that there has to be a MAF mount in the pipe I think the days of 25 dollar ebay intake and just getting a better filter are over. the mishimoto looks pretty nice but again seems like too much $$ to me to have what seems kind of like a stock airbox with no lid and a different intake tube...
*undecided between flashpro and ktuner, would be cool if the ktuner v2 works for the 17 1.5T but their site doesn't seem to say so
am going to get a stock dyno pull and stock 1/4 mile run when the track opens up in March. might not go back after just the intake since injen and mishioto already post their own dynos on their products, maybe just a track run to see what I can actually do with that power before I get the tune.
* as(if) they become available or more options become available I plan on downpipe (heard rumor of one), exhaust, charge pipe, FMIC, etc... I also installed methanol injection on my last car (335i) and loved being able to crank the boost/timing and not worry about bad fuel/high temps (used it mainly for cooling, not octane, ran 75% WW fluid w/ meth and 25% distilled alcohol) I am going to attempt to make something quickly removable that mounts under the hood with a small 1/2 gallon tank, small 120psi pump, 2gph devils own nozzle, pressure switch, and generic solenoid. I think I can make the whole thing for under 200 bucks and hope to try and mount it to the firewall since there is a TON of room behind the motor. my mix isnt very flammable so I dont think the exhaust way down by the crossmember will cause me problems. I just need to figure where/how I will mount the nozzle and make sure the whole setup is easily removed since I have 3 years free maintenance as well as any possible recall/warranty work I may need.
*cosmetically nothing crazy just something along the lines of a prokit or h tech spring that slightly drops it, maybe some 18s and put the 17s on the CRV to get rid of the steel 16s on it now. ( I think offset will work), smoked lights, LED/HID bulb swaps, etc...
anyways here's a teaser vid of 0-60 stock... I know... I left TC on
and another showing how to replace the interior bulbs with LEDs (this one is the CRV but lights are similar and I will swap videos when I upload the civics)
