What did you do to your Type R today?

[ExMachina]

Monolith T1/07 lugs came in today...all I can do is stare at how pretty they are while I wait for Tire Rack to get my wheels in stock. 🥲

Sorry, never saw those before where are they from?

“l1mtd_r” on Instagram. The seller offers FL5 style color for FK8 seats. I considered getting them but decided to go with black.

Just installed HondaHack and Viper4Android and wow!

I was about to start looking at sub and amp upgrades, but this will hold me over for awhile. Pretty huge overall upgrade over stock with just that software piece for only $10. Can't believe I never saw much about this before.

So Whippleman,
What did the hack change for you? I only use Carplay (I would be tempted to use a USB Stick if I could get multiband equalization). I actually don't use "Carplay" as intended, I only use the UI for a dedicated old phone in the glovebox to play music. It has no SIM and 90% of Carplay is unused and for me not really necessary.
I take phone calls on my apple watch it works really well.

Hondata arrived yesterday. Will be scheduling a tune with DRob here soon.

Added a gauge!

It's too bad it doesn't work simultaneously with hondata. And it doesn't show ethanol content unless you wire up with the signal.

I only did it for the Viper4Android which in my limited audio expertise is a software equalizer that takes the place of the oem. After switching, it seems like Honda pretty much had the stock sub turned off. Highs also much improved. For $10, the impact was huge. It doesn't sound like a nice aftermarket setup, but a great improvement per $ spent.

I followed the settings from this post then tweaked some. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/viper4android-post-your-settings-here.43132/

I run the hondata app on an old phone to get real time data - plus only need ethanol content at fill up time to make sure the mix is good and after that it's not going to change much.

Nice to see peak numbers for rpm, boost. Coolant temp etc

You can mount a phone pretty much anywhere with Bluetooth.
App is like $5 on app store

Final version of the video was released - came out really good Great day with fellow Type R owners. My smurf came out better than I thought.

Put on new shift knob - really like it - didn't hate the factory one but man on a hot day that thing was measuring heat in Kelvin to keep up.

Changed my TEs … not sure if the bronze or the black edition look better

My monolith arrived. Gonna slap it on my Titan7 later tonight.

Not sure when I'll get around to the HKS intercooler.

3 of my 4 wheels/tires came in...BBS XR 20x8.5 in bronze. These wheels are absolutely gorgeous in person, very happy with my choice. Also, much happier with the +32 offset, never liked how sunken the stock wheels looked.

Can't wait for the fourth one to come in so I can give it a good wash and enjoy the rest of the warmish weather before it goes away for winter.
