[jdml3ia]

Hello All,

The first mods:
Llumar air80 (yes, I love the fishbowl!)

Updated Mod List 1/13/2026:
A year old! The goal for this build is to keep the car as stock as possible, with an emphasis on track focus. She's nearly completed. First track day at 500 miles, she sits now with 5k miles a year later.

I call this the old man spec (no intake, no down pipe, no exhaust - close to stock engine bay, less is more)

My thoughts..
The ability to control it with the on-board computer and dial in ride height is valuable for something I DD. I literally measured my driveway and speed bumps at work to avoid any daily scratches. ?

10 clicks from hard works best IMO (on comfort mode). Gives the best of both worlds, daily plus sprinted driving. Corner balance (early/mid August) + Track day (late August) will be the real tell.

The stock suspension works great, but wanted adjustability and convenience.

I am in my 40’s now and my back isn’t mad at me, at least for now. I couldn’t do my old S2k with KW V3 anymore. ?

Its beautiful! I almost went to the Hondata jail break on July 5th but ended up in Las Vegas instead LOL. How do you like it? Also where do you go for wheel and tire work? I wanna get wheels but wanna go to somewhere rep to install them! in Socal as well (obviously)

thanks!

Is it true, Vegas is empty? No crowds, no traffic.

Hondata base map is great once the car is up to temp. Turbo sounds and exhaust “Type S” sounds more pronounced. Butt ? Dyno feels improvement in the mids, up high feels the same.

Many places around SoCal:
Evasive
Pit Garage
JHPUSA
Goodnighttire
Chewerks

Just to name a few…
