Zoom Engineering TS mirror installed
Love this thing. Improvement in every respect really. Better looking than the generic OEM Honda mirror, way wider field of view which works especially well with the OEM hardtop, much less magnification than the OEM rearview so you get a much better sense of what is actually going on behind you, and much better dealing with bright headlights coming from behind you. The mirror is also much easier to install than the OEM arm, and the tension is easily adjustable and holds it's position well. I have tried add-on mirrors in the past and always found they would vibrate and were overly convex. This thing gets the job done without being too wide or too distorted. You will obviously see a wider field than the OEM mirror so if it bothers you to see more of the passenger area this might not be the mirror for you, but with the wide OEM hardtop window this should be fantastic for keeping an eye on who is behind you on track. I love that the mirror shape sort of frames the arch of the hardtop window perfectly. Big thumbs up to Zoom Engineering.

Thanks. Highly recommended to you both.

I was wondering if you plan on installing any guages for your track outtings? (i.e oil psi/temp)
On another note, I put on the +47 with 255 re71r. Havent experienced any rubbing with -3.4 and my spunkyfendaroll. I dont think you need to do custom fenders. Save the funds for more awesome mods.

New parts look great man, also interested to hear more on the rack bushings as I looked into them myself but never went through with it. As for fitment with the +47 and 255/40s, I'm at -2 degrees of camber with a roll and slight pull and my 9+40s fit good. I'm gonna add some more camber for handling purposes but just to give you an idea Andrew.

I would like to do some sort of gauge setup but probably not actual gauges. I was looking into a small MoTec display and datalogger but the price is definitely up there. It is 100% customizable though which is very cool, you can really make whatever you want for the UI. Defi also has their OBDII bluetooth smart adapter that can also use additional sensors for oil pressure and temp. That then connects to a phone and displays info in an app. That is a relatively inexpensive solution that is a little simpler to just use when needed which is cool. I will probably try something like that first. I really just want water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure with customizable alert ranges so I can get a warning while driving. But going full on data logger route would definitely be cool.

Yeah it was a hard decision between the two. I prefer the 1x1 carbon that the Monaco is available in, but I realized the ASM steering hub uses 2x2 so it is a nice match with the TS.

You should definitely take a look at the Defi Smart Adapter. If already have an iPhone or an Android phone you can use that as a display for whatever sensors you have setup. It isn't incredibly expensive either. Another cool solution is the Defi ZD display, but that is a bit more expensive.
