I love the weight of the shift knob I have, but Im thinking about getting a different one now that the reverse lockout ring has been replaced.

Those gifs made me feel like I was going to have a seizure. Nice short shifter though! 
What kind of knob are you thinking about going with?

Conversation I just had with my roommate when I was reading your last post:
Him: "That's a hilarious gif."
Me: "Yeah, this guy always has funny avatars."
Him: "civicdrivr?"
Me: "Yeah. He doesn't actually drive a Civic, though."
Him: "Does he drive an Acura?"
Me: "Uh... not really."
Him: "Well, what does he drive?"
Me: "A Scion."
Him: "Oh. Fail."
Favorite mod so far?

Damn straight, and Ill post another:
BTW, I love the shifting feel even more now. Its smooth and solid and the throws are noticeably quicker. My only gripe is there is a slight rattle from it at high RPMs. Someone else on the forum has the same issue, so Im going to see what BPS has to say.

Let's see. Your name is civicdrivr. Your Civic has been in pieces for 5,7,10 years?
You are on an Acura forum but you have not driven your Acura for 6+ months?
Sounds right.
(for reference My name is e30cabrio, have not driven the cabbie in 4 years, my last Acura was totaled more than a year ago and the one I drove is more than 2 years gone)
lol

They look pretty good, but Ive been eyeing these 
I like how their caliper bracket incorporates the brake ducting attachment. I believe the kit in this picture is the Sprint kit, running 299mm rotors. The Endurance kit uses 325mm rotors. Both save weight, the smaller of the two saves about 20lbs while the other saves about 10. The downside? Cost. The Spring kit is $2100. The Endurance kit is obviously more. Im waiting until something hits the market for the rear axle before getting something. I'd also like an upgraded master cylinder to keep pedal pressure.

Thanks, but the lights in the headlight housing are actually the DRLs/highbeams. Im running four bulbs for the highs; the two Nokyas and the two bixenons. I cant wait to get foglights though. They should be available in January.

Yep those are the OEM fogs. A few people in the states already have them, but Im sure theyre importing them. I'd rather wait until they are available here so the prices hopefully come down a bit.
