Jonnys_honda Civic Type R FK8 Build

Question about all the CF parts in the engine bay. Are they purely cosmetic? I'm a big fan of CF as much as anyone, but if I won't be showing my car much, I'm trying to justify the purchase lol.

The intake on the other hand should be beneficial. We will have to wait and see just how much with some before and after dynos. Johnny did you do a dyno before installation?

Carbon Fiber in the engine bay is for sure mostly cosmetic. It aids in having a clean/sleek look. The intake of course is dual purpose, looks good and for performance. Performance numbers are TBD since it's still in the testing phase.

Dyno will be done soon. They still have my car all week.

Isn't the cooling plate functional? Better directs air flow over the coolant heat exchanger?

Any chance you can ask them to remake the sideskirts and front lip and get them made up in CF as well?

Wonder what that would cost 0.0

Already had discussions about that
Not sure about the timing of those parts, haven't started any molds yet.

Looks real good all together! I'm waiting for my fender pieces to come back. I got sent a sent that didn't have a slot for the hood prop haha. I really like the resivor cover too! And looks like an ECU cover in carbon?
