Started cleaning up some RL calipers for rebuild

Today I installed

White line rear sway bar (wanted to use accord endlinks but I busted one of them so I just kept stock ones)

DC sports front tower strut

Type R subframe chassis stiffening brace

Pernin inserts for type r rear motor mount

Mesh front grille

WOW HUGE HANDLING DIFFERENCE on my car. It's so much fun. I can throw it everywhere and I love the control. What a fun platform. The affordability and ease of install on aftermarket parts for our cars is beyond enjoyable.

Front tower strut bar also makes under the hood look awesome

How are you liking those Perrin inserts? I've got the same setup on my hatch and I felt quite a bit of NVH in 1st gear and when the A/C is on. Seems to be settling down now after 150 miles.

Yesterday did a transmission fluid change, filter change, and added a ETL CVT Cooler. Attempted to change O-Rings but the new ones didn't quite fit like the originals so i just left them in. It was my first time removing my intake box and filter surprisingly wasnt that dirty. Overall it was a-lot of work and i also did some other things but of course when i went to put the bumper back on i was hitting the cooler and bent some fins So i had to remount the cooler. Had no leaks from start to finish and Only snapped one 10mm bolt on the undercarriage when i was putting a brace on so i consider the past two days a big win. Trans temps are way lower, driving doesn't feel much different, maybe shifting gears is alittle more reactive.

where did you get the tranny filter and what mileage did you decide to change it at?

I got a two pack on amazon that came with the o-rings. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B5Q3FFQB?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Changed fluid at 86k, sent the fluid out for testing still waiting on report. I know you’re “supposed” to change every 30k but that seems a little over the top. The analysis report will be important to review for further fluid changes. I never got anything on maintenance minder, and i drive very light on the trans, basically baby it.

Installed @Badannlv Skid plate + front guard

Also installed TypeRLED’s reverse lights, wasn’t able to take a picture, but did get to see how bright they were tonight. They were nice, finally bright enough to see through my tint without rolling the windows down at night lol.
Fixed my driver side foglight. then gave her a wash

NVH is virtually unoticeable unless I'm idling forward (I have a CVT). When idiling forward my rpm is ~950 and the car goes from no NVH to a f****** earthquake. Other than that I seriously notice nothing. I ordered a hasport 62A and will be testing that to see if that RMM resolves the problem.

Waited all weekend for the rain to f*ck off so I could install my Eibachs. Finally got a chance this morning. The rear end links were a pain in the ass as usual, but an easy install overal. She feels like she handles just as good, if not better than my previous Si.

Next up, ceramic tints, some sort of exhaust without drone, and I think she's done.

Got some honda goodies and installed. New center console usb port, since i broke the clip on it like as soon as i got the car. A screw cap clip in the hatch that i lost somehow. A new econ switch panel since i butchered mine when installing a button. And a type-r serial badge holder on the gear shift, which i am super excited it worked, its something i have been looking forward to doing a long ass time, it needed alot of trimming on the plastic but i was able to get it fitted perfectly. I also have two rivets for it, now i just need to order a custom badge that someone on here makes.

I'm liking the Type R badge holder idea. What custom badge are you thinking of putting in it?

So am i i have been wanting to install this for a while but most sites have this part discontinued. Im looking to get a FK7 badge in blue with CMarks in bottom left and either vin number or civic in bottom right. Right now im looking for someone who can make me a custom badge!

Lucky sob!
How much they run you? Did you get them from slickfab or source the parts yourself?

I purchased the brembos from Autozone. They're Remanufactured. Cost me 150 for the driver and 240 for the passenger. No idea why the price is different. Rotors I got From heeltoeauto.com. Pads from amazon. Spacers from Amazon.

Autozone sells brembo calipers? Da fuq!

How and where on the site would I look? I checked it and couldn't find anything. Just basic stuff.
