Good job on the vlog! Great to hear the perspective from both owners!

Great job guys! It's nice to see the contrast of stock and modified together. The stock car is amazing by itself and you can have a ton of fun with it. I can't help it though, I love the OEM+ esthetics.

If you want fun in long term consider a block-mod (or sleeves). The short-block is the same from FK2R on & it's weak. The cylinders shake, wear the head-gasket off, crack themself & destroy the head in the end. The motor won't show his damage until the cracks grow really large.

Get the ITS suspension module! Also your buddy may want H&R springs. It’ll ride close to stock. He will probably benefit greatly from the ITS module though.

I wanted a Type-R but it was about 5k over my price range so I went with the Si. Here in the next year I'm giving the Si to my son and getting a Type-R for myself. I plan on running fbo but minimal tune and no bigger turbo. I'm sticking with the stock ride height cause the roads here in NC are trash. Wheels, I personally like stock but I don't like how tucked they are. Since I'll be making doubble what I'm currently making I'm going with the classic tride and true TE37. Gonna go .5 wider and rock +35 offset (havent done research on offset but that's what it is for my Si so that's what I'm using until I buy the car). The TE37s are gonna be black and idc what color mine is. The literal 1st thing I'm doing is having it repainted to gunmetal. It's not a color I can pick from factory.

Can you put 265/35 tires on factory wheels?? I want more sidewalls on mine, but I love the wheels, don’t want to go smaller wheels.
@shadtography

Yes you can. Just need to be careful if lowered the car since sidewalls at 35 on 19's will be taller

@@samuelreyes7343 you can also look into a wider tire on the factory wheel which will help increase the sidewall too. 275/30/19 potentially.

These is by far the worst car ever and the older typer nothing like a 2001 integra typer or 2006 rsx types where with bolt on or stock will give these silly car a run or modified on the street the rsx will eat it alive don’t even go if the rsx turbo it’s over I wouldn’t waste my money on one of these or nor the new types there garbage for what there for but just my opinion you buy what you like
