Unfortunately we have not had the chance to run Sonoma/Laguna Seca yet. When we do, we'll report the data/laptimes here!

Okay, I was confused because you added the intercooler to "address overheating." However, there are no overheating issues with cars that are street driven. I suppose "motorsports" is defined loosely ;)

What did you have to trim for the HKS intercooler to fit right?

There are air-guides (made of rubber) on each side of the intercooler. In the HKS manual, they mark where you must trim. This is included with the purchase of every HKS Intercooler kit! Let us know if you are looking for a deal.

As far as trimming, it's very easy with a box cutter, takes about 30 seconds!

Appreciate the response. I'm leaning towards the HKS intercooler to upgrade from the factory one.

You'll love it! The finish and quality of the intercooler, mounts, and piping kit is phenomenal. They will come with a few extra clamps as well. Additional hardware is supplied so you won't have to reuse the OEM hardware.

Much has happened to the car in the last couple of months, just missed the opportunity to document in real time!

ZE40 RW Limited 18x10 +36 5x120 Racing White
HKS Intercooler
HKS Charge Piping
PRL Catted Downpipe
PRL High Volume Intake
Hondata Custom Tune

The best numbers we made on pump 91 were 330/350 whp/wtq respectively on a Mustang Dyno. Car baselined at about 260/285 whp/wtq on the same dyno, for a net delta of +70/+65 with a custom tune.

How annoying was it take out the OEM seats? Lots of clips? Been debating on putting my SPG in my car. Just been on the fence of a planted base or just BRIDE as a whole.

Easy! Just like taking out any other OEM seat in any Honda.

The tricky parts are the sensors. On the driver's side, you have the seat position sensor, the seatbelt sensor, and the airbag sensor.

On the passenger side, we have not figured out a way yet to transfer the OEM weight sensor from the seat rail to the bucket seats. This is typically what detects weight on the passenger seat.
