    Hey Mike, Happy Monday- What a great way to start out the week with another awesome video!! Thanks for breaking down the types of mods that each type of driver will want to consider. The information you shared compliments the Google slides presentation I made listing the mods I'm considering of adding to my future Type R. I'm going to definitely add this video to my saves list, along with some of the other videos you've made up to this point. I think I consider myself all of the above- daily enthusiast, looks, sound and little power guy (except for being the track guy) although it may be a hobby I will strongly consider in the future!! I'm considering an AWE exhaust. I'll need to find out if the sound is within the CA sound limit (below 95dB). More homework and research to look up. Again thanks Mike! Great video!!

    Love the video. I was just recently tuned. Mods prl dp,fp, intercooler, hvi,titanium turbo inlet from rampage fab,ti resonated exhaust from rampage fabrication,rs450 turbo upgrade from rampage fab ,hondata. Numbers 390whp,365tq. We ran out of ⛽️, upgrading to hondata ⛽️ system by next week. As well as prl flex ⛽️ . I’m expecting 450whp with these last two upgrades for the year. Next comes the cosmetics. I love your content brotha. Can’t wait to see the ek build.

      Wow, going to get a diminished value on a civic, nice I love it. Good luck. Funny I had my 2000 Si stolen and stripped, I fought with insurance, and got $1,640 more than I paid for it when it when it was brand new. This was back in '03 when mint sub 10k mile ones were going used at dealers for 20k.

    Loving the videos! Especially with us being quarantined lol. I have a question that you may be able to help. What are your thoughts on the BMSPEC splitter compared to racebred? I got the bmspec still packaged but wondering if maybe racebred we’ll be a better fit. It’s my daily with weekend mountain runs. Tracking will be later down the road

    • @GridZilla
      @GridZilla  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Melvin Gutierrez well BMSPEC IS BUMPER mounted. Racebred is Chassis mounted. One will drag your bumper down. The other supports the bumper. Plus BMSPEC is out of business now soooo yeah 😂

    I have been following your build for some time and I know that you have gone through multiple wheels/tires. Is there anything in particular that you are mindful of while choosing the wheel? Offset/width? I am wondering if an 18" wheel will upset the stock handling balance. Has torque-steer gotten worse with any of your wheels? Did you have to play with camber?
