    You can go from underneath the fenders without taking the wheels off 👍 it’s a pain but can be done

    as an 8th gen fanatec, heres my 2 cents. mind you, i take a very functional and purposeful approach to building 8th gens. i track my own si coupe.
    change stock clutch master cylinder to em1 or em2 cmc
    change tranny fluid to redline mtl or amsoil synchromesh (i use redline)
    adjust the ride hieght so your rear is a tad bit higher than the front, this will help with oversteer.
    around -1.5 camber rear, around -2.2-3 for the front depending on how the car will be used and tire width
    you dont need to touch sway bars, but if you do, just rear should be enough to have this car rotate.
    for brakes you can run 04-08 acura tsx front caliper. still a single piston, but you have a thicker rotor, much bigger pad and caliper. hawk pads, 5.1 fluid
    for engine you can revert to stock intake or a hybrid racing cold air. i bought a k&n and regret it. too much heatsoak
    flashpro to tune and get rid of rev hang
    this setup would be budget friendly, and an absolute track monster
    if youre really a function freak, stick with the stock shifter box. i hate the added effort needed to shift with my hybrid racing short shifter especially when on a track

      The acuity unit (in my DC5r) reminds me the same kind of effort you get from a gt3 porsche … i’m pretty sure it’ll be good…

      @@subaruej2079 you could get away with only adjusting the stock cmc, but if you decide to run a even a stage 1 clutch, the plastic internals can’t handle the heavier pressure plate

    get a 76mm skunk2 exhaust some bc coilovers & all the suspension goodies & you will really see it come to life also get a thicker performance rear swaybar it will help alot.

    How about a AEM wideband install. Finding a quality filmed or written DIY for it is impossible. Of course you'll need flashpro as well.

    For the headlights, why is it that I don't have to go underneath my 8th gen si coupe, to get to the bulbs? For the driver side which is a bit more process, just pull out your reservoir tank, and you'll be able to access your bulbs. Maybe hand size has something to do with it, although I don't have baby hands, 🤷‍♂️ I don't know.

It’s not like I plan to show it off because I am going to run my shift boot unlike a lot of others that don’t now days.
