Do you sit lower than OEM with the buddy club seatrails and the sparcos?
Yes, I seat lower now - about an inch. The seats feel great, but they do rub on the door panels and my glove box does not fully open, but I was aware it'll happen. On the other hand the shape of the Sparco headrests perfectly matches the roll hoops - that was my goal when choosing seats. Because of the harness bar I have a little less space for my legs also - nothing major luckily.

Awesome setup, even with the new wheels.
However, I would have powdercoated the bottom parts in car color instead of gold.

BTW: Did my Airbox-Mod within the last days.
Cut the devider wall but did not remove it completely so the 2-chamber hydrolock-safe-effect is still active.
Furthermore I covered every invisible spot with aluminum tape.

I reattached the L-shaped tunnel by the way and it showed even a better performance than w/o it, don't know why or how to substantiate it with evidence of physics but it feels slightly better so I gonna leave it that way. Might be because the tunnel guides the air directly to the filter on the one hand, plus, due to the removed devider, it has a second way to breath.

Did you realize that w/o the resonator, the airbox sits a bit slanted due to the missing 3rd mount?
I fixed that by screwing that rubber mount to the bottom of the "new" outside of the box (same height). Now everything sits in place perfectly without slanting.

Thank you alot for your help!

Yeah, I forgot about that 3rd mount - I also used some rubber underneath the box so that it doesn't rub and sits straight Once I'll have my snorkel I will experiment with the devider wall as well. Glad you like it buddy!

Now my car is back in the body shop - this time to have the ASM overfenders mounted. Here's some progress pics:

huge cut-out


new rants are made - just like OEM, but a lot higher


bye bye you useless piece of fender


yeah, that's about it...


a little better now


check out a little gasket between the fender and overfender - still debating wether to keep it or not...


guys at the shop having some fun - I guess the Dumbo Ears idea will work on any Honda...

Love the last pic!

it's kinda hard-core to cut deeply into the sheet metal...but the result will be quite cool!
