Thanks for that! Any reason to not do the BPV?

You are not required to be a SKU expert before installation; they are. Push the issue with them.

The Boomba BOV/BPV has "recirculating" in its product description: https://www.boombaracing.com/honda-acura-1-5t-2-0t-3-0t-bypass-valve/.

Love your videos; they're quite helpful.

I'm in San Francisco, and relearning manual here on the Type S was probably as challenging as it gets, give the combo of steep hills and traffic. You def want to get handy with Brake Hold, and don't be afraid to hit the e-brake too, if you get flustered or stall. Whatever you do, while you are...

Front and rear rigid collar sets just arrived from Black Hawk Japan. What kind of shop should I be looking for to do this kind of installation?

Thanks for such a cogent reply!

What is the negative buzz on the CSF radiator?

Thanks so much for the Black Hawk Japan tip! Just ordered :)

Standard FL5 set of rigid collars works for DE5, with no issues?

This is picayune, but I have some RayBan shooters I use for night driving, and they rattle like crazy in the sunglass tray. The case won't fit in the tray, so wondering if there are any elegant solutions to the rattling, beyond just wrapping them in a bit of felt.

If you have a cargo tray and cargo net, as long as you are not pulling wild Gs, the weight of the tire and the friction of the side wall on the tray plastic and netting should be enough to keep it from wandering around the trunk.

My ITS somehow has a small nick in the dash that exposes white plastic underneath. Hoping that someone here can recommend a way of mitigating it; it's really bumming me out 🥺

But, will I love them?

I installed the Suma mirrors on Type S a few weeks ago. Process was painless (see YT video of Type R installation) and the result is significantly more functional than stock. That said, I am not fully sold on the blue tinting and wish it were an option, rather than a requirement.

Do you have to replace the collar when switching to an aftermarket knob?

Does the Type S have to be modified to accommodate? I asked HEL Performance, and they didn't actually know.

I would love to get some solid advice and links on how to do a decent basic wash & wax of a modern car, including products and any gear I should have. I live in San Francisco, and my garage isn't large enough to wash inside, so will have to do in driveway, or head to a self-service spot a...

Did you ever get an answer that satisfied you? Or, did you go ahead and trim? Have been thinking about picking up the HEL for my DE5.

How often would you think it makes sense to change the filter vs. change the oil itself? I am at 900 miles on my Type S, and I am pretty old, having started with early-'60s cars, so the idea of waiting 5K miles for an oil change is bracing.
