I took the type S on a desolate road and it was pretty awesome. The car got filthy during the drive. I love driving this car and the way it handles and grips the road.

 

Like a Monster Truck, Too Meaty

 

Yeah I actually took it on some trails after I took these photos lol. One of my friends saw the car and he called it a time attack donk haha.

 

Those are 19s huh?

 

Yes these are 19x10.5 et22s with 305s.

 

wow 10.5 on 22 with 305 that is insane!

 

This is awesome finally a Type-S with Volks. Next I wanna see RPF1's.

 

Thank you! I like volk racing wheels. [a lot] lol

haha yeah it's very aggressive and when I first put the wheels on i was like WOAH! I wasn't sure if i liked it but as I kept looking at the car it grew on me and now i love it!

 

What are you dropped on?

 

This is stock ride height.

 

This is gorgeous man. Going to a smaller tire when you drop it? Or will you be dropping it?

 

Love it!! Digging how you remove the trim blocking the intercooler

 

Thank you Sir! Typically I would try to drop it but in my old age its 50/50 I bet I will buy a coilover setup at some point and see if I can get these 305s to fit under the fenders.

Thank you! It was a gamble when I decided to cut it and im glad I did. Besides, it added a little function allowing the air molecules to hit harder on the intercooler lol

 

I have moar foto!

 

da fuuu, how did u get an intake or did u just take the air box out and put a different filter? Does it sound pair nicely with the exhaust?

 

I cut the MAF sensor section out of the airbox and then stuck a cone filter on it. It sounds awesome now.

 

Wow nice! Thinking of doing that on my 2.0T but I think I am able to fit an Accord 2.0t SRI set up.

 

Thanks! I am loving it. It was very inexpensive to do and made a big difference in sound so I am happy with the result. Yes there are probably some aftermarket options for your engine that should work.

 

I just got off the phone with HPS Performance and they are currently working on intake for the Type S
From that, I ask if they are going to do any intake for the 2.0T and they said they are interested and will need to consult with there lead tech and get back to me.

 

yea someone has to make one. They’ll make more parts for it as it’ll be popular like previous 07-08 I rather wait and buy a nice system vs Jerry rigging current intake. I think Injen and AEM will make one for sure. The car is still too new so just gotta be patient.

 

I contacted Injen a few months ago and they willing to work on my car but it was timing so I cannot do it. So I put a thread out on the group and see if anyone interested.
But thats for the the 2.0t engine. For the Type S I did mention to them and they put out a blog for R&D

I just got a reply from HPS performance and they have an interest for the 2.0t engine. Just need the right timing.

AEM and aFe Power I spoken to them but currently no interest for either the 2.0t or Type S.

So will see what HPS say in a few days.....

 

That is nice to hear there is someone working on an intake for the Type S. Thanks for that information. I wasn't aware of HPS until now so I will have to keep a lookout for developments. It will be neat to see what type of power gains can be achieved.

 

Also, I have decided the HKS blowoff valve will probably work if you get the civic 1.5t adapter. It just depends on the hood clearance.

 

Like to see the out come. Wonder if it will work on the 2.0t.

 

If yours has the 3 bolts like the type S and it says K5T08571 on the top then it's the same one.

 

Thanks! I'll check on that tomorrow

 

Did you find it?!

 

I also painted the exhaust tips black.

 

Sorry didn't have time today. I was busy doing this......

 

Hmmm... Interesting thread to stumble across.


Looking awesome! Can't wait to see how this goes.

 

I am wanting to install some canards and a side splitter as well and some type of a winglet off the front splitter.





I should have some icy photos after today.

 

those wheels gotta go or lower it. Too meaty sidewall of a tire.

 

You doing CF or regular material on winglet and side extension? There is a shop in my area does custom work.

For the side splitter I am going to try and make my own with carbon fiber, or buy a universal pair or a set for some other car that is atleast 82 inches long. The front winglet will probably be similar to what i did on the white dragon.

 

 

I want one of these in white or black with red interior. But I'm a broke boi. Lol.

 

I started saving money up when i first saw the concept car. You should definitely try to get one at some point. It's really fun to drive and a very capable machine. And now the aftermarket support is starting to roll in.

 

For sure. I was thinking of making the F80 M3 my next car. But I'm sure this will be a better option for me. Not wanting to spend $2k on brakes on the F80. Lol.

I'm sure with just a reflash/tune, the Type S will be at the 380-400 mark. The car bone stock is great. But knowing me, I'll get some lowering springs, wheels, and tune and would be happy.

 

Dude ...

Absolutely love your choice of wheels, but get ones that fit properly (offset). Also, 295s might have suited the wheels a bit better. At the end of the day, it's your car, but it's not my cup of tea ...

 

Don’t listen to people telling you what to do with your car, you do you bud. I was scared going out 10mm to 19x8.5 et 40 for my winter set and you pushed it out another 43mm lol bold. Got any video’s of the intake at work? Thats one thing i have been really wanting, the 3.5’s were all intake noise, no exhaust, 3.0t is all exhaust no intake, i’d love to hear it huff and puff more.
