Long history short. I totaled my 2017 type r (plate 303), now im getting a new one. Sine there are more option now when back in 2017 what do u recommend as the best for each mod? Best DP, FP, FMI, IC pipes, Intake, (dont worry about exhaust that should b a separate thread) oil cooler/oil catch, engine mount. Am I missing any essential BoltOn? Thanks.

I personally like 27Won alot, they have alot in development for the type r right now from what I've seen. I have their rmm and shift knob and waiting on their exhaust (said to be released around December) If not them, then I'd say PRL for almost everything. Radium for the ccv and pcv catch cans

I prefer Mishimoto for IC, it's bigger than PRL and comes with the charge pipes. DP/FP i prefer RV6 or PRL, i do currently have RV6 DP and FP on my car, but from what i have seen both brands have similar quality. The Mishimoto catch can was very good quality as well. Intake there are a lot of options now...at the time i went with Mishimoto...if i had to choose again i would have to compare against the PRL to make my final decision. Have fun buying parts!

Step one is get a tuner, unless you like wasting money for next to no gains.
This.

Get Hondata or KTuner first, then intercooler, downpipe etc. in that order.

I recommend acuity instruments shifter upgrades. They are defiantly worth it. I didnā€™t see it on your list but it is a worth while upgrade and easy to do.

They're all pretty similar...

If you care about having it sooner than later, go with mishimoto because HKS shipment keeps getting pushed back. I was told August. Then end of August. Now I'm told mid October.

I'll 2nd the Acuity shifter kit... so much better than std for effective quicker gear changes..
You have to ask yourself what exactly are you looking for, more power or sound or handling? Everyone is different, so people will do different mods for different seasons...

you will need a purpose for the car. Weekend toy? Track animal? or daily ride?

Then, you can list the mod to achieve the goal instead to let the mod decide what goal your are going.
