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.
Part Numbers:
1x Brace: 50290-TGN-E00
2X Bolts: 90182-S2H-000
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!
