What did you do to your Type R today?

[9000RPM]

Put it on cribs for the winter. Lots of wiring to do over the wintertime. Just got the garage heater hooked up too.

Car back in the shop yesterday. Worn wheel bearing; I am really happy I purchased that extended warranty

Got the intercooler installed. I also had an exhaust leak that was fixed and apparently had a kink in my boost line to intake. Car runs better and sounds better. I noticed the second I started it and started driving. My question is, do I need to retune my car? I’m pretty sure the intercooler doesn’t need it, but not sure with the fixed exhaust leak. My butt dyno definitely feels the difference lol. Installed it at a reputable show known for Subarus mainly, but performance cars nonetheless. Prime motoring in Wallington, NJ.

My man, you're in the wrong parking lot.

There was another Type R there ! Lol. I think they did his brakes and rotors. The owner wasn’t there though I think. I always feel so outnumbered when I stop by hahahaa

Managed to finally work on some cosmetic mods for bumper.

Mugen Style front lip from Ballade sports
Front splitter from Street Aero
OEM Grill 20+

After doing an emblem delete I realized I couldn’t let go of that front red Honda badge. To me personally it makes the car pop more.

I love seeing the size difference between the older models and the newer models. Makes our FK8s look like Accords, lol.

I want an EK9 so bad, but specifically a 96-98 in Vogue Silver Metallic. Impossible to find one. Did you import yourself? Or go through an importer?

Rewired my underglow to come on as a courtesy/entry light better than I had done it before, while keeping dash switch functionality during driving and eliminating the relay buzz I was getting the old way.

Video showing the effect.

Started on the wiring project. Mainly because I'm adding a bunch of stuff and don't want to keep using add-a-circuit on the existing fuse panel. So gonna install my own 8 slot fuse block inside the cabin and move all existing and new accessories to it. Got all the wires planned out and bundled them into a sleeve. Cut away some of the rubber passthrough next to the brake booster and fed the loom through.

Edit...after seeing my own photo, I realized I forgot to run the wire for the RGB LED controller. It will be ground side controlled so need a wire hooked up to battery positive. It's a bluetooth one so better to keep it inside the cabin.

Edit edit...new chicken scratch wiring schematic below.

I planned on placing a relay here and there is a stud right above the battery. It's the same size as this one so I 3D printed a nut for it. I depinned the relay harness because I don't want to splice, so waiting on new pin connectors.

Added the LED controller wire (orange) and an additional wire (yellow) for future proofing.

Have to give you credit here also for my improved setup (post 18,026 above).

I borrowed the relay setup from one of 9000RPM's earlier schematics on another thread for my underglow, and the man knows what he's doing with electronics!
