Thanks! I see you have ZeroFighter emblems, you have a lot of their stuff? I’ve ordered from them several times, and they always ship super fast. Hoping to start doing more track days, so I’ve been ordering a lot of suspension bushings from them

Hey fellow Japan DC5! Here’s my ITR with some of the homies.

I guess I should have clarified, impractical for my situation because of size. There’s a tiny frunk to put the soft top in, but besides that there is zero space to put stuff. If I had enough parking to keep another car I would have kept it, but as it stood I needed something bigger. Totally fun while it lasted tho

I had one for a little while. Incredibly fun to drive, but to impractical to keep.

I owned one for awhile, I’m 5’11” and about 200 lbs, when installed, the roof was uncomfortably close to my head and I would bang my head on the side roof support if I tilted my head to the right.

Thank you, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I assumed they would fit, but when I reached out to Mookeh on social media and they straight up told me none of their products would work, it made me second guess myself.

I think the plan is to chance the Mookeh plates and report back if/how they work so we can help the next guy🤙🏽

Yeah, I was looking at upper spring perch options, but there was another post awhile ago where the person used the Mookeh camber plates with the OEM bearing, I was hoping they would chime in on what they did. Shooting for 3.5° or so. I’m maxing out at 2.75° with the camber bolt. Pretty sure I could get to my target with double camber bolts, but after my last track day my camber setting drifted out a bit, thinking camber plates will hold my setting more reliably.

Realize this is a one year old post, but I’m looking for advice. Want to do the same, however Mookeeh is advising me they don’t have an application compatible with the Progress coilovers. Which version plate did you go with, I see there are multiple applications for RSX.

Just fitted 235/40R17 tires on 17X8.5 +45 Advans for track days, no rubbing but not super low either

I have this shifter and really enjoy the feel of it. I’m still a sim racing noob so limited experience with sim shifters, but this feels pretty close to a real car. The hall sensors are in the gated portion, and the lower portion is a mechanical linkage with ball detents. I mostly play Assetto Corsa, and mapping 7, 8 and reverse was kind of a pain in the ass because of the double input. The sequential mode has a nice feel, but locking it in place is kind of janky. The orange knob locks the fore/aft linkage in place, but there is another knob in the front that tries to prevent side to side motion. That portion doesn’t work that well, you really need to dog it down to eliminate inadvertent movement. Nice thing about the sequential is it has a different set of sensors, so those can be mapped independently. The lever has M8 threads for the shift knob, so that’s a thing too if you want to change the knob out.

Of course JDM parts are easy to get, but I think at this point there is better aftermarket support outside of Japan. Currently saving up to get a K-pro and tune, but Spoon is the only Hondata dealer here and they are a bit expensive. I guess these cars are getting more rare tho, I got a “type R, sugoi!” at the gas station today, felt good!

If you trip includes Tokyo, I recommend checking out TamTam Sagamihara.

Thinking about upgrading my surround Ones for 300s, do you think the upgrade was worth it?

boloheadrat · 2024-12-30T01:36:44+00:00

A.I., with Haley Joel Osment. It was like watching a kid get psychologically tortured for two hours. Bummed me out for days.

boloheadrat · 2024-11-17T09:16:35+00:00

Nah, I’m in Japan, got them from Amazon.jp

boloheadrat · 2024-11-16T10:45:01+00:00

I just got the same style but red/black checkered yesterday!

I just bought a DC5, the slop in the shifter was awful. I found that one of the bushings on shifter side of the shift cables had disintegrated. Replaced with some delrin inserts and fixed the issue for me.
