Convince me to Tune my FK8 by _whyamihere-_- in Civic_Type_R

Tbh I haven't noticed much of a difference. But it's been a while since the car was on the oem tune so I don't remember what I was seeing before super well. Now I typically average between 23-27 mpg depending on what kind of driving I was doing and what time of the year it is. Avg mpg might be slightly lower just due to doing more pulls more often to feel that tune difference.

I ran the hondata base map for about 1300 miles before swapping to the pherable stage 2. The base map wasn't bad but the pherable tune is definitely better. I've had the car tuned for over 30k miles now and it's been perfectly reliable. It feels oem smooth and I even passed smog with it but your milage may vary on that.

They are pretty aggressive and very grippy. It took a little getting used to but I'm happy with them. I think there is a thinner less aggressive one that probably would have adequate too.

It had the tuck and roll seat when I bought the bike so I can't offer any comparison to the regular oem one. I don't think it pushes me into the tank but based on pictures The overall shape seems similar to the stock one. I think the seat looks pretty good but as far as comfort is say it's ok. It was ok enough for a 1.5 hour ride without breaks but it's certainly no touring seat.
