New look for a 2017 ex hatchback

[Cmckay64]

So I’m looking to build my civic and need some ideas. I’ve upgraded the brakes and rotors to drilled and slotted added a stage 3 chip with just a K&N filter.

Get some better looking aftermarket wheels to show off those brakes.

"Stage 3 chip"?

Nice cr-z

I want to get new rims cause I hate the stock ones. But don’t have the money for new rims yet. Has a stage 3 plug and play in it.

I think it's one of these OBDII chips that I would be highly skeptical of. It says it adds low end torque which is the exact opposite of what you want on an EX HB with a CVT.

The cr-z belongs to my buddy that I work with.

What's a "Stage 3 chip" ?

Get your fishbowls done, chrome delete, upgrade your wheels since you got brakes done, drop an intake and exhaust

For fun: get a fk8 replica bumper and wing cus that's 99% of all hatch owners lol

It surprisingly isn’t that bad. I pick up spread pretty quick and haven’t had any issues from it so far.

Just curious how it is compared to stock? Is it a huge difference? That wasn't meant to say it doesn't work or anything but I would be skeptical myself of a chip tuner like this that can be used on such a wide variety of models with different engines. Because most of the professional tuners that are geared towards the 10th Gen make sure to limit the low-end torque on a CVT.

No offense man but those chips are about .019% as good as an actual ECU tune.

If I were you i'd probably throw that chip in the farthest garbage can from my car and just buy a ktuner...

EDIT: This isn't meant to be rude BUT they're proven to be literally garbage on any platform and usually just F* up every cars A/f ratio, happened in my buddies lancer.

There is a difference in it compared to stock and I haven’t had any issues. Mine isn’t the one that was posted earlier. It programs with the computer and adjust the rough idle as well as the fuel management system. Increased horsepower and yeah it’s been good so far.

Thanks. I was just curious about it as not too many people go with the chip option when tuning their 10th gen; the majority are KTuner or Hondata users.

Yeah if I had an si or type R it would be different. But I got this car cause it was way cheaper then cbb cause of covid and have put the miles on it.
