If you're at all concerned about your diff, especially if you abuse it under racing conditions, I'd recommend picking up a quart of Redline Shockproof heavy duty diff fluid. I was very impressed by the increased lockup and smoother running of the rear end after changing out to this stuff. You'll have to change the shockproof more frequently, but it should handle far more stress and loading than stock fluids without any increase in friction/drag.

Oh, and Rev, remember that the sacred dance must first be done counter clockwise and then clockwise since the engine rotation is different on this car compared to past Honda cars ;-)

Sev, you won't void your warranty. Unlike the tranny, which specifies Honda MTL, the manual only calls for GL5/6 gear oil for the tranny - nothing Honda specific. The redline stuff meets this requirement, so it meets warranty.
