Waiting for the dealer to register it... They told me monday hopefully... sucks buying a car out of state but oh well. cpe-e intake is on the way and a flashpro and 800cc injectors will come when tax season hits. Im waiting for the snow to hit here in new England, i cant wait to take it into some deep stuff.

 

Very nice. If you dino it, definitely let us know what kind of power you see from a flashpro.

How many miles? It looks very clean on the outside.

 

No "turbo" and "SH-AWD" badging in 2007, or was it removed?

 

Not that I'd want to have to keep it clean, but black is by far the best looking RDX color. Congrats! You'll love it!

 

Ya no badges for some weird reason. A few minor scratches but that's it. Its going to the dyno to get a baseline with the intake soon as I get it on. I'm going to get the flash pro instead of just the flash.I want to get the reflash tweeked for the intake and 93 octane and to be able to live tune.I'm thinking of buying a aem meth kit to.

 

Ops forgot the millage.. She has 85k. All dealer serviced and I got a warranty that covers all the major stuff..turbo, drivetrain etc and is good for 5 years or 100k from the original mileage. My goal is 350whp , I'll stop after that.

 

finally home! My Cp-e intake shipped Monday and will be here Wednesday. preying hondata comes up with something for the ignition .

 

Congrats! I've loved my 07 tech. It's been a very reliable and fun car.

Keep us in the loop on your performance progress~

 

Welcome! im from MA, and drove a little over 5 hours to pick up my RDX, well worth the travel if its the car you want!

 

Ya it was.. they do not last long, i scooped mine off of auto trader. A lot of the ones i were looking at had already sold by the time i had called.

 

broke out the black plasti dip in a rattle can. Came out good. 4-6in of snow today so I am going to have to do the top trim piece when it warms up a little. Murdered out hah . It will look good with the 3k yellow hid fog lights i have coming.

 

snow day... 18 inches here so far and still coming down...this thing is awesome in the snow, my words cant describe it. Going to take the gopro out in a few.

 

Looks good, big fan of black.

 

Heres a video from the 10+ inche storm we had yesterday. This is the end of me coming home from a long ride last night to snow blow a friend out. This thing is godly in the snow... doughnuts forget about it... they called me the DK after ripping figure 8's the other night.

 

Definitely hear that intake!!

 

Downpipe came.. Rv6 is great quality for sure!!

 

Oh snap! Brand new!! How do you like that 4-3inch?!?!

 

you betcha brand new... very sick.. love how they did that.. thing should flow like crazy. I am going to wrap mine with black dei thermal wrap to keep the heat down under the hood. I've used the stuff before and works great, you can layu your hand on it after a hard pull.

 

Yeah, I've had it in the passed, it works great! Make sure you soak it in water first.

 

Really ? Ive never soaked the previous stuff I used. I have 4 14" ss straps to hold it on. Installed the boost gauge tonight. Going to use some Velcro to hold it onto the dash. I did not do the wiring for the light yet maybe tomarow or the weekend.rywire harness came today also.. Just waiting on the flashpro! Going to see if I can use my buddy's garage to do the downpipe.

 

Yeah, I think it actually says it in the instructions. Soak it in water to properly wrap it around exhaust/manifold, etc.. Do you have a more clear picture of that of that gauge?

 

It makes it easier to wrap your item. Plus you don't get those itchy nasty fibers all over the place or on you (which is very irritating to the skin).

 

10-4 mang. I think I am going to Wrap just the cast 3.5" part of the dp.

 

Found one of these without Tech, only 40k miles, had to nab it - probably the best decision I made since asking my wife to marry me. How have you been liking your new RDX this winter?

 

Nice!

 

I am going to home depot to get some velcro or something to hold it onto the pillar or dash. I used the autometer 2 1/16 gauge with the autometer metal gauge cup. I think i am going to do it on the pilar.. ill deal with the airbag when it comes out hahah . All the lines are nicely hidden and i used the harness grommet near the fuse box to run the line thru the firewall. Since i used a autometer gauge with their crappy line, but i found the trick if you use a hair dryer to heat up the plastic line it makes it more easy to bend out etc. I still want to mount it in the dash next to the seat heater for the drivers side but i am digging it on the a pillar. much easier than looking at a laptop or my phone with the gauges.

here is the T i built to use the pressure fittings autometer uses on tere gauges.. i just cut a line off the intake manifold and placed the T in the middle.

 

Oh I see. Very interesting, looking forward to seeing the outcome.

 

The mount kinda sucks but the Velcro holds it really well. I'm going to shop around for a different mount. Going to use some wrap to cover the wires and boost line. Alottt better than using my phone or the stock one.

 

That thing is a piece of art. let us know how the install goes.. pics if you can.
Thanks!
Also if you get any CEL's/


You are going to LOVE the Hondata device!

 

........

 

Sweet!!!!

 

starting with the hondata map as a base and going from there.. it is to bad these things do not like the cold .. the flashing process was very easy. I had to do it a couple times because it did not feel like much difference but i can see it holding the boost all the way to the limiter. I hope it warms up a little and she should be ripping. Now i have more motivation to get the downpipe and injectors in.. i bet it hauls after that.

 

Yep, I'm sure after it warms up things should operate better. Do you plan on hitting the track?

 

Ya I'm going to run some passes at the local strip maybe if I get some springs and brake upgrades I will autoX it. I am on my first revision and it pulls hard down low. Only seeing spikes to 15 and holding 10-12 psi throughout the band. I am so glad I went with vit and every other rdx owner with a FP I high recommend you get a tune from him. I am waiting for my second revision now as he is off on a business trip the next 2 days.

 

So you had the Hondata base map..then the one from Vit?

 

Nice!

 

New bov .. The stock one I have a feeling is leaking bad at higher boost levels.

I had this one eBay I thought it a was fake account that bought it.. 2 weeks latter I get a payment.. Sounds good tho.so off she goes in a few days, anything is better than stock once you refash or have a FP. My next one is going to be the NRG type-s .
