What did you do to your Type R today?

New Billetworkz shift knob, purchased in the classifieds. I know the color and logo are a matter of taste, but it goes well with the Eagles sticker on my back windshield. The extra weight (650g) feels great, and it's powder coated so I won't burn my hand even when the car's been sitting out in the middle of summer. I love it.

Fly Eagles Fly! Great to see another Eagles fan in the CTR community

Thanks! Shopped around and with free shipping Bernardi is about best, good history with them, ordered.

Speaking of that, anyone want a never used Ridgeline (2017-2020) bed tent, LOL?

Bernardi was the best price I could find also. Going to order a cover from them next!

My tire pressure light came on for the very first time today. I stopped to put air pressure in my tires and found out that all but 1 were at 40 PSI... that seems high? I was driving a bunch earlier, and I know as a tire heats up the pressure increases, but the normal pressure on the doorjamb is 35 PSI.

The light didn't go off after I filled up the driver front tire, which was at 31 PSI to 37 PSI, so I went into TPMS calibration and recalibrated it. Drove around for about 15 minutes and the light stayed off.

Weird that the light came on honestly. Also weird that most of my tires were way above normal PSI, but again, it might've been that the tires were hot.

At least I know that the TPMS light does indeed work

Thanks spyder57, appreciate the props and always glad to hear my madman musings are helpful

Yes, for surethat sounds good man, last time the only mod I believe was an exhaust....then the OCD kicked in ?

Tom, amazing work as always! Your detailed how-tos are a treasure for the community. One of these days when lockdown is over, gonna need to come over and check out your car again with all your mods.

Nice! I've debated getting white wheels or keeping them black. The brake dust is always my deciding factor ?

Had fuel pump recall done. When I got car, found this piece on passenger side floor of back seat. Tech came out and said he had no idea where it came from. Does anyone know where this goes?

I'm usually not a fan of white wheels but those look badass on your car. Good choice!

I ceramic coated the wheel to protect from brake dust and so far they fall right off while washing them! but they did get dirty, very easily after driving it once for 10 mins

Lookin’ MightY fine ryudo,
Have you considered contacting seller and seeing if you can get matching white brake pads?
Joking obviously but I can only imagine the dust on white Wheels, I’d go nuts. Bad enough with PowerStop pads on gunmetal matte Wheels here.
With 265s and 9.5” you aren’t too far from rubsville and are widest doable tires (usually NTE 1”) at 10.433”. 275s are 10.827”. Mich are pretty stiff but you certainly can tell the ride diff from stock for sure.

Installed my USR tow hook. Great quality and by far the best bang for the price - probably ~$100 cheaper than any other solution.

Joosman,
The H is a nice simple touch change from the usual one of two width stripes. I was impressed with Eric’s ability long ago and how well the stripe CF pattern matches the seat back though and had to have it. Sub-tool, I can hardly say the word... subtle (?) isn’t in my vocabulary. My Type R is certainly REDiculious!

FYI - Same decal gent (JetsVinyl) is tight with Aero Spec Racing now (custom CF). I have F&R badges and custom hood scoop due in any week now, worth waiting for.

How is your heel plate from autoCOVR holding up? Big guy here and I bent the crap out of mine. I’m testing a double plate version for Mat and it’s holding up great. It could be nearly twice the cost though if he decides to sell them that way as an option in the future. Nicely crafted products but not cheap, great guy, very open minded. I think he’s on eBay now, got mine via Etsy..

Hey no problem going full redilicious! The stripes are what gave me the idea and I came pretty close to getting them. These Hs don't have the carbon fiber look as they are pretty generic, but it still looks pretty great.

My heel plate is holding up so far, but I haven't driven a ton since installing because of covid. You know what I'd be interested in if he's modifying...a bigger version! I feel like it's a little cramped and I've had to change my heel placement to be able to have both on the metal. Maybe you could give him the feedback! Btw, I love the red mats, and have been considering getting some. Do you know if I'd have to find new tape for the mat protector if I swapped out mats?

@spyder57 tow hook looks good, did you paint it red yourself? How did you know where to cut on the plastic grille to get the tow hook to line up and fit nicely?
