I know the 06+ have a different clock spring. That may have something to do with it? I'll end up figuring it out at some point I'm sure

Thanks buddy! So small update;

--Bought a brand new Cable reel/clockspring from Honda :cry cry: put it in as well as a new resistor. I was able to reset the SRS light by doing the paper clip procedure but I still have the VSA! light on.

--Had another track day but Akkmed was too pleb to come (because he was putting on his steering wheel) so the only pictures I got were from other guys that had came out, did normal, clocked a 1:32 this time around, still trying to hit 1:30 (Best is 1:31.3).

--Got to drive a friends Ap1 around the track too, the 9k vs 8500k rev limit is very noticeable, as well as the understeer from his smaller 215 front tires. You can follow the link to watch.

--I just went and got a more aggressive alignment today also, ill post up the before and after. Keith (The race spec alignment specialist here) said I should be able to shave off .5-1 second off time considering my previous alignment setup so I'm excited to get back out.

--Also, Akkmed did take my car out for some pictures…

And the before and after specs on the alignment. I definetly feel a difference, especially in the straight line speed, I didn't realize I had -1.31 toe which was basically helping me to drag my wheels instead of rolling. Im anxious to see what lap times I pull with this set-up.

You just need to remove the 's' from "https://" to embed.

Great build so far, loving the track videos as well. I'm contemplating a new steering wheel as well but there's a lot holding me back on that. All the pics look amazing so far, really digging the CR lip on this car.

Thanks man!

Id do it again, honestly the steering wheels is amazing haha. Obviously theres the no airbag risk, but my hub is a crush one, so there is some safety there.
