Extended the sinked muffler tips
Being adjustable for your like is great!

Thanks to “Killer B Motorsport”

Installed the Perrin wing riser kit on the OEM spoiler. Have to say I think it looks so much better in person than it does online in pics. Very pleased!

Finally got new wheels after 6 long years of ownership. Really makes the car feel like my own now.

What do you guys think? Tire size is same as OEM @ 215/45r17, but the PS4S looks a lot meatier. Stock wheels really sink in at the back.

Did refresh my KN engine and cabin filters. Have these guys for 50K now and no problems.





I am doing this every 10K for the cabin and every 15K for the engine.

Isn't it great? I stuck a thin rubber pad to the top bracket in between it and the hood. Just instinct.

Well, airflow will be significantly reduced with those rain guards.

I plan to remove the guards when tracking.

They raise temps underneath.


Honestly, I don't know. I never considered tunnel temps before reading @rice_classic's tales of melted CV boots and hot transmissions.

That’s an interesting thought, I’ve never really thought about how incoming air is designed to continue through the engine bay into the tunnel, cooling the transmission and other various drivetrain pieces in the process. Or whatever fwd has aft of the engine.

It would be cool if a company made a vent like the Civic Type R has. I BELIEVE it’s purpose is to ram air straight into the transmission tunnel. This then creates a low pressure area or some other magic and can then begin to suck the engine bay heat into the transmission tunnel.
