Why people install Red emblem on Non Type-R? It still non Type-R even with Red Emblem :p
Not a very good comparison. So you're gonna hit your "sport" mode and then go slower? Or are you gonna get it tuned so that the button actually activates a +psi mode or something? In that case that's a cool mod

ahah yaaa pretty much. in the states you can get anything and its easy. here we have to jump through hoops to get a somewhat reasonable price. :confused:



how do you find the LEDs so far? compared to halogens.. especially in the rain? and i didnt even really consider the warm up time but ive been reading it takes a few seconds to a minute to fully warm up, but im assuming this is all in the states were it doesnt get -30C.. i just wish the stock lights would be brighter so i wouldnt have to change anything but they are such a let down, my old car was a 2000 acura and it had better throw on the lights it seems
So far the LEDs have been working out great for me. I haven't noticed any issues seeing in the rain, but I haven't driven in the rain when it's pitch black outside yet. I do notice that they don't throw light as far as HIDs like people have mentioned, but they're noticeably brighter than the stock halogens. They match the DRL LED nicely. Sorry, I don't have any before and after pics from the driver's perspective - didn't think of it.

Also curious about the reasoning. It's still econ mode no matter what the button says :p

Ktuner allows a remapping of the ECON button. You remap to, lets say the 21 PSI map, then you can set the ECON button to be the stock Honda map. So you don't really have an "ECO" mode anymore, but you can go back to stock (16.5 PSI) at the press of a button. And I totally agree it's a very cool feature :thumbsup:

OEM Lamp has H11b bulbs.

The difference is which side the filament the wire is on.

FINALLY managed to grab some epic pictures of my retrofit! The camera on the new Samsung Note 8 is no joke... I couldn't get my Nikon D5000 to take photos this good lol (mostly user error I'm sure)

I’d love to see a tutorial for the white marker led lights. I’ve wanted to do rgb leds since I got the car. Installed some rgbs on my old Tacoma and I miss them

My understanding is that the Ktuner version of "stock" is not actually your original factory stock tune, just similar.

I've noticed that too. Doesn't it actually load the true stock ecu that came with the car though? Otherwise, what's the point of going stock if you take it back to dealer if its not truly stock

Reorganized my trunk that was a mess after purchasing the storage tray. Love that it is velcro and doesn't move at all. Makes it real easy to put groceries in the back and cleaning the car is a lot easier when I can find what I need. Storage organizer also included one for the glove box so I will be taking care of that today or tomorrow.

I can't confirm or deny what you're saying. Unfortunately I don't have a ktuner, I only read the brochure because I'm interested, but not interested enough to void my power train warranty yet. ;)

I'm talking about the dual calibration mode where you press econ for a "stock" tune on the fly.

The "return to stock option" in the software is the actual Honda stock tune. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
