A round of upgrades this week!

Acuity Short Shifter, needs no introduction it's a phenomenal piece that is well worth the money. Super notchy, requires more muscle to take it from gate-to-gate but not so much that you so can't subconsciously flick it.

Acuity Cable Bushings, and Throttle Pedal Bracket were first and only Acuity mods before it since November 2017, as I waited for the full replacement to come out rather than upgrading the factory one with the Acuity pieces. 10/10 recommendation.

27Won Rear Motor Mount went in at the same time (don't have my own picture, using 27won official image), and I am sure it's even helping the Acuity Shifter do a better job by allowing little movement of the engine and transmission. However the drawback is the added NVH, which I'm still getting a feel for as I've put on less than 200 miles. Initial vibrations during set off, and slightly in each gear at low rpm are more noticeable, but do settle down as you're at constant RPM.

Type R Subframe Brace is a mod that I discovered on this forum, and decided to give it a try because it's $16 USD only (stamped steel brace + 2 bolts) plus Shipping.

Ultra Racing Trunk Brace. Haven't seen it tested as heavily on the 10th Gen Civic Sedan yet, but I had one on my Volvo S60 R, along with the front Strut Bar ( UR Civic Strut Bar incoming - shipment error delay). Definitely have noticed the rear tighten up some. Sucks that it does block the liner going back on fully, but not a deal breaker. Can still fold down the seats, and place items through.

Note: You may need to redrill the hole for the bottom right mounting point. Also, have a magnetic tool handy because you will likely drop the bolts in otherwise as it's slightly awkward to mount in all 4 points, with your fingers barely able to hold the bolt.

All in all, the upgrades have worked really well with each other and have made the car much more responsive!

The holes line up in the general area in which they should, so it wasn't too bad at all. I did have to remove both side liners, and the floor liner to get easy access to the area. Once you start lining up the holes, it makes sense where all bolts will line up. Single person can do the install :)

Bayson R Lip wrapped in Gloss Black, and installed. Awesome fit, my favorite of any 10th Si Lips I've seen - what I love is how it covers the existing lip piece in the middle, giving it a more seamless look. Bonus: the box was as large an item as I'd fit through the area, and it went in easily through the Ultra Racing Trunk Brace! :)

How hard was wrapping the front lip? If you don't mind me asking, what did you wrap it with, and what tools are needed? Thanks, she looks great!

The fins at end were the hard part but with patience I and a friend were able to do it. Original plan was to spray paint it, but the surface needs prep because the paint won't bond too easily. We did a smooth wet sand with 180 grit paper, then laid on one full length sheet of Gloss Black wrap by Vivid. No special tools needed, except for a heat gun.

Is the Type R subframe brace impactful at all to notice it? Seems like a simple upgrade if so I may do it.

Summer rubber is here! Continental ExtremeContact Sport, a Max Performance Summer tire - 245/35ZR18. Wheels (soon to be revealed) will be 18x8.5 ET35. I had the Firestone Indy500 last year, which are great value tires but I didn't enjoy how they rode even on a 40 sidewall. The Indy500's are also 3lbs heavier per side, so I wanted to save the 12lbs where it matters a lot.

The independent reviews do say the Contis have excellent Dry and Wet traction, without beating you up hence why I went with them. The price point is appealing in comparison to the Michelin PS4S, so I thought I'd save some and give these a try, and report back on the forum as I put some miles on them. If anyone else has experience with these tires, feel free to chime in.

I did it at the same time as the 27Won RMM, so it's hard for me to say how much exactly is direct contribution to the CTR brace. However, at $16 for the brace and two bolts, I'm very happy. Ultra Racing and Cusco can sell you their versions for 10x more, but it can't be 10x better.

The best upgrade would be a front sway bar, but those are a PITA to install so I won't be going that route just yet. My Ultra Racing Strut Bar comes in tomorrow, and that should be a worthwhile upgrade!

Let us know how the Conti’s handle. I’m looking at the same size you have 245/35/18 when the all-seasons are toast. Looking at the same Conti’s or PS4’s on the stock rims.

Steelies are gone!!

Mounted the wheels and tires yesterday after putting a CeramicPro coating on them Saturday, and leaving them for 24 hours to cure. Adds a very tiny amount of shine, but helps tremendously in keeping the wheels clean, and washing with ease any brake dust.

Konig Freeform 18x8.5 ET35 (no Spacers) - 245/35ZR18 Continental ECS - Mishimoto Aluminum Locking Lugs - H&R Sport Springs (1.25" Front, 1" Rear).

Absolutely in love with the setup,it came out looking better in person than my best renders! This wheel depending on angle or how you look at it has a V-spoke or U-spoke (looks like a flower) profile. I love the U-spoke design, and the overall form and function is fantastic.

My last setup (Konig Ampliform - Stock All Seasons) had more rub due to the 40 sidewall. I've only had one instance of rub on these in 100+ kms driven when there was a 160lb passenger, and I went over a section where I always rubbed before. The setup sits so flush and meaty, surpassing my expectations of them!

Will do as I get more mileage on them. Initial impressions are that they are very smooth and quiet over good road surface. They do soak up the bumps better than I had expected for a 35 profile tire, but that's not saying I can't feel the road through them. Handling characteristics I am getting used to, but initial impressions are they grip very well for a 340 treadwear tire. I'll be hitting some twisties with a car group this Saturday, but will wait till I put 1000kms (620 miles) on them to give my next feedback.
