Effective mods without a tune

[RicEeyEs]

whats cookin good lookins
As I am only 7k miles into my 60k warranty I don’t necessarily want to get a ktuner just yet. Well, obviously I do but I’m trying to play safe as long as I can. Just wondering what mods you’d recommend to give me some better performance or what you’d recommend anyway. So far I have a Perrin strut bar, whiteline rear sway bar/ end links, and a torque solution rmm. I know I should obviously get some grippy tires and probably lowering springs (I don’t necessarily want to shuck out a ton on Coilovers just yet)

Lighter wheels and upgrade the intercooler

Acuity shifter or upgrade parts, rmm, type r rear brace

Go ahead and upgrade your clutch before you tune to get ahead of the game. CTR retrofit should be on every si wishlist.

I agree with lightweight wheels. I noticed a significant difference when I upgraded. My wheels are 18lbs/wheel opposed to the 29lb stockers.

Is the modification to the ctr clutch fairly simple? I was thinking about a lighter clutch a little down the road

ALready have whiteline sway bar, it feels awesome hitting highway exit ramps. The whiteline endlinks were a pain in the ass for me to find the right fitting for, and even still after buckling everything up I know something went wrong so I’m gonna I’ve someone else look at em. Should’ve went with accords endlinks

I’m definitely thinking about at least the shifter bushings but I may as well just get the whole setup which comes with everything correct?

Do you happen to know the accord end links p/n? I want to make sure I get the right one.

Lighter wheels and upgrade the intercooler

Is an intercooler upgrade really necessary if you're mostly (80% of the time) using the Si for normal commuting (i.e. shifting @ ~3-3.5k rpm using only light throttle to accelerate) and 20% / rest of the time is spirited driving / WOT above 3k rpm?

I went to Torque Solutions to look for the rear motor mount that you mentioned, but couldn't find it. Could you post a link?

I did Type R shifter with base bushings, centering spring, and rocker. It feels very smooth and precise

I got this package minus the cable bushings. I'll be getting them later
