I got my wheels fitted on today! I was/am super stoked on how they look. 18x8.5 +35 looks really good, even on stock suspension. Pushed the face of the wheels right inline with the fender, which I'm beyond happy about. I'll include some pictures below. I guess my next project is tackling the monstrous wheel gap, but may not be able to accomplish it until another year or two. Optimal choice would be a height drop similar to HFP suspension, but apart from already being rarer than a MF to find, it won't fit on a '15 sedan.

Anyway, white on white looks pretty cool. I stored my OEM wheels for use maybe later. It makes me wonder what the OEM blades would look like in white.

I’m not a white wheels fan but this car is so clean it kind of flows together, I dunno but I LIKE IT!
Panda 🐼 vibes…
Look at the Eibach Pro Kit dude, very minimal drop (1.25”), slightly stiffer springs and use with stock struts!

I cleaned my intake filter this weekend! Car came with a K&N typhoon shorty and I decided I’m tackling other needs/wants before I upgrade it. So when I bought the car 1 1/2 yrs ago I was not keen on that intake and no stock one even BUT the filter appeared to be brand new so I left it… I bought the ’recharger kit’ cleaned it thoroughly yesterday let sit overnight then LIGHTLY OIL’D and reinstalled this morning - wOw! What an amazing difference - I think the filter was maybe not as clean as I thought it was upon purchasing the car 😵

Ohhh babyyyy, that’s a sweet addition! You had it tuned/dyno‘d already?
*Also, I saw in previous comments about upgrading differential, is that common to change out with this supercharger kit? IMO it’s plenty of power and very usable BUT people with much bigger turbo builds making substantially more power than this don’t even have upgraded diff’s - is it because it’s a belt driven supercharger?
Very jealous tho bro, post some short acceleration videos if you can! 🤙🏻

Tuned and dyno'd already. 380/300.

Anytime any front engine front wheel drive car gets some sort of forced induction upgrade anywhere close to 300hp, you will be spinning front wheels. A diff help alleviates those issues. Turning down the boost alleviates that issue. A diff would definitely help mechanical grip but not required. It makes it easier in a drag race and on track to control the power

That's a way better answer than what I thought of while sitting on the toilet.

Me and the shop agreed on that, too. He said it should have come from Honda like that already, lol.

Lmao, I was wondering why I was getting some high ECT temps. If I just keep my foot out of boost, it won't reach those temps. Still, ordered a Koyo radiator and whatever temp Mishimoto thermostat is rated for to keep it in check. Also get slightly better mpgs if I do stay out of boost.

You may need bigger bumper openings for better airflow to the radiator

I'd rather get a vented hood over hacking the bumper, which wouldn't be such a bad idea. I'll see what happens after the rad and thermostat swap does.

I’d get an aftermarket bumper that already has larger openings. A combination of all of those things will help dissipate heat and add a larger surface area to help with cooling

I'm lying on that though, I would definitely get a CF vented hood if Seibon actually had one in stock.

Decided on Sunday to finally clean up my exterior and get some protection on it (it's been years). Used dish soap and power washer to get the exterior as clean as possible, and stripping any oils. Clay barred the whole thing. 2 coats of the chemical guys ceramic, 1 coat of M21 sealant, and finally a coat of M26 wax. Dressed the tires, and cleaned the exhaust tip. That was a lot of work over the course of 4 days. All by hand, probably should look into some electrical assistance for next time.

Oh wow man you gave that thing the TREATMENT! proper I like it… I was going to ask you how you got all that done in a day but I just had to keep reading haha.
I think I’m going to do something similar this summer - I really need a full on paint correction but at least to clay it and then reseal
Got any pics of final product?
