  1. Problems after tuning and race sri intall

    Glad to hear you got this sorted out. Quality bolt-on parts work well with the Phearable tunes. You don't really need a customized dyno/e-tune for your vehicle until you upgrade the turbo. Now that you have an intake and flash tune done the two most cost effective items that will give good...
  2. What clutch should I go with?

    That is far from the norm though. Sometimes there are engines that do things that just don't make any sense. My brother's 2003 RSX Type-S with RBC intake manifold, Injen CAI, Skunk2 Alpha header and Invidia Q300 exhaust made 243 wheel horsepower. This is typically FBO + cams territory for a...
  3. Need advice after crash

    Calibration after replacement is 100% required for it to function properly. If a repair simply requires removing an undamaged sensor and reinstalling it, then calibration is still required.
  4. Need advice after crash

    If I'm understanding what you wrote correctly, you are in the opposite scenario of what is being discussed here. Are you saying that your car was damaged on on the lower driver's side of the front bumper and the radar sensor was broken off? If that is the case, then it will absolutely need...

    Obviously body/repair time is separate from paint/refinish. Yes, new covers must be scuffed/sanded pending how it arrives from the manufacturer, but priming and blocking a repaired area is not part of the process for a new bumper cover. Hence why there should be an additional charge for it. The...
  6. What clutch should I go with?

    You do need both items from the two separate links. Ends up being around a grand.
  7. What clutch should I go with?

    And at that point you need upgraded internals. So while the motor is out for pistons/rods you can change the clutch again too lol.
  8. What clutch should I go with?

    I mentioned in my post that TSP was making them but I couldn't find them. https://www.twostepperformance.com/collections/downpipes?sort=price:desc They've only got Invidia, 27Won, RV6 and Skunk. The issue I'm pretty sure is with supply from GESI which is why no one has them available...
  9. What clutch should I go with?

    If I'm not mistaken, you would need to end up with at least upgraded pistons/rods to safely push enough power/torque to go beyond the holding power of the stage 0. It drives wonderfully. Helps with acceleration and engine response quite a bit as well since you're shaving a LOT of rotational...
  10. What clutch should I go with?

    https://rv6-p.com/collections/civic-si-10th-gen-17-21-drivetrain/products/rv6-1-5t-fk8-clutch-retro-flywheel https://rv6-p.com/collections/civic-si-10th-gen-17-21-drivetrain/products/exedy-fk8-stage-0-oe-clutch-kit-for-rv6-1-5t-retro-flywheel This is the RV6 retrofit flywheel. It ditches the...
  11. Need advice after crash

    These are good points, but there's no way I would be quoting that repair at <2 hours. That nice big dent is showing that the plastic has been stretched. It's also damaged right on that sharp body line of the bumper above the fog light area. I can see in the section behind the fog/garnish...
  12. Need advice after crash

    Possibly. The issue that could present itself is getting the trim/garnishes to all fit perfectly after the repair. $412 bumper cover divided by $58/hr in body labor, plus some additional time/materials for the paint department to prime, block and feather the repaired area. You'd end up so...
  13. Need advice after crash

    They are stretching the truth of what Honda's recommendation is for calibration. Some people hear 'safety' and/or 'factory/OEM recommended' and they will just pay. It's not an outright lie, but it is still shady AF. It is a cash grab...
  14. Need advice after crash

    Run in the opposite direction of this shop if they told you a wheel alignment is necessary after taking the bumper off. The radar sensor should not need calibration simply from removing or replacing the bumper cover. There are situations where it is required, but I really don't believe this...
  15. Need advice after crash

    Hidden damage is body shop 101. There can always be more even when it doesn't look like there is. However, your situation is completely different from what is presented here. I can see how running over road debris could do something to the radar sensor pending where said debris struck the...
  16. Need advice after crash

    Calibration of the radar cruise should not have to be completed. Impact is nowhere near the the radar sensor as it is on the other side of the vehicle. The sensor also does not require calibration from just removing/replacing the bumper. Seat weight sensor calibration also seems odd...
  17. What clutch should I go with?

    Exactly as stated above. It is amazing. I went with the RV6 flywheel and Exedy Stage 0 after getting to FBO status. I was running with all intake tract upgrades for ~40K miles; CAI, FMIC kit & TIP. Once I opened up the exhaust, DP/FP/Exhaust all at once, the stock clutch was definitely...
  18. Rear Motor Mount Bolt Stuck

    If it's corroded/rusted and won't come undone, I'd say get some of this: https://www.kroil.com/product/kroil-original-penetrant/10-oz-can-ks102/ Works way better than dubya-dizzle or PB blaster.
  19. lowering springs on stock wheels with no rub? Looking for advice

    Tein H.Tech Luxury Master! The GOLD ones. High quality Japanese steel FTW here. Just enough drop to make it look nice. No loss in ride quality. In fact outside of sport mode I find these to ride better than the stock springs. And once you go into sport, you can actually tell a large difference.
  20. Problems after tuning and race sri intall

    What SRI? Did you purchase that from Phearable as well? Looks like they only offer PRL at Phearable, so that would definitely be compatible with the tune. Did you get the correct intake for a Non-Si? Is the tune also for a Non-Si? I ran the PRL Race SRI on my car with Phearable tune...
