Ahhh, gotcha. I thought you were saying you couldn't do it. It is a little tougher to get into first than other gears, so maybe you're right
Your car doesn't do this? It's not a lockout like the 5th to Reverse lockout, but the faster you're moving the harder it is to get the transmition into first gear. This is the OP's symptom, as designed by Honda.

Putting extra 2g for 10g for spoon (or one other I can't recall) to N/A your car.

the other company that I can't recall, it turns your engine into a F23C with 300whp. o yea.. that the raw power that you could get.

I can easily shift into 1st e.g. when approaching a hairpin.

You need to heel-toe to do that though, or at least do you braking 1st and then do a proper rev match - 2nd to 1st is the tallest rev match in the box.

Oh and you shouldn't shift through all the gears for a traffic light unless you're practicing downshifts.

Put it into 3rd to slow down until you feel the idle fueling start (somewhere below 1500 revs) and then into neutral, as this conserves gas and synchros.

There is a lockout mechanism that prevents you from downshifting into 1st if you are going too fast.

This is what brakes are for. They have one purpose and one purpose only...to stop your car.
Save your transmission and Use them!

I don't think it's worth trying to save money on your brakes by wearing down the transmission.
