thanks for posting the video clip! this is so badass....love it. i need to do a few gopro clips of my @GrahamRahalPerformance turbo back as well. i've done a lot of flybys and in car videos so far.

what psi are you set at? i've settled in at 12 psi for the valve to open and is about right for me personally.

To think that people mock the spoiler of CTR . . . That RA one is straight out of a JC Whitney catalog’s $39.99 clearance section.

I am horrible with those. I tried touching up a rock chip on my hood and it looked like a glob of fingernail polish on it so I wiped it off and tried again. Apparently, I'm incapable of using it properly. I've seen some people have good results with Dr. ColorChip so I've got some on order. Hopefully I'm not as challenged in using it.

I personally hate these new style touch up pens with flat paint and then gloss. Easier to make a mess of it. Used to like the small metal tube with the small touch up brush inside with matching gloss paint..

I put my spare tire in, which has been covered to death. I put on a couple of stickers, because I'm a nerd. Also, I took a picture.

Awaiting for my Acuity shifter parts arriving tomorrow. Took apart the console today to install the Alta short shfiter adapter.

Treat the R to a day on a road course.

Spare hood scoop, time to get measurements and put it into solid works to design a hood vent. Help cool this thing

I installed my radar detector bel tronics sti , magnesium shell impossible to detect with law enforcement equipment.

Wire is pretty much invisible. Ran the wire up top tucked in , came down through the ABS airbag "had to remove plastic cover , very easy. Popped the panel where the 2 blank buttons are. Removed side panel , ran wire down to the fuse box /ACC power fuse 1 i think, grounded it and popped in a new button that shows alarm/mute.

If anyone wants help or needs pictures i will be more than happy to show you all. I think its easy to do and sure anyone can do it. Radar detector shuts off when car is off.

Did you use an add-a-fuse or did you splice into the wire that's already there?

i ordered add a fuse on amazon got a 10 pack for 10 bucks.. In the mean time i trimmed the wire , wrapped it around the metal fuse connector and shoved it in the slot, using a bigger mini fuse and its got power. Looks like the new hondas come with these tiny fuses with no ends. Not sure if that makes sense to you.

But to make it pretty I will use the add a fuse , but my method has worked on my previous honda for many years.

I am not cutting factory wires ,

Dropped Knight off at the dealer today. Rear backup light is sure I'm on, no wait, I'm off ... want to try again? Drivers seat doesn't seem like it goes down all the way so checking that out. While the AC works it doesn't show as "On" on the HUD. So ... shouldn't it?

Other than that its the usual oil change, nail in RE71 R patch and having them flush the trans fluid. I really need to buy a set of race ramps so I can start doing this myself. And oh, I have the parts guy hunting for a cup that holds up the trim since a cone took it out. Stupid cones. Stupid me for hitting the stupid cone. However I did spin out when I took the cone out.

Next!
