Plans are to get white JDM 16s and I can't think of much more. I wanted to keep it pretty much stock. And yes, I'm the one!

ITR LSD? How in the world is that thing still functional. I've seen OEM diffs break at 360whp. Let alone 100 more whp.

Whats the reason you cant go lower than 14? I think anything over 14lbs, you need to run dual springs. If you need smaller springs just shoot me a PM and I'll give you a smaller spring. I'd much rather change out the wastegate spring than hook up a boost controller. So when people ask, I just tell them its on low boost.

14lbs is a waste of 2nd gear, especially with a 6262. Find a way to lower it IMO.

my target boost is 19lbs. its creeping to 20-21 up top. got the mani off the car and taking to my fab guy tonight for the 44 gate. i assume ill probably get tuned for 22ish lb to do 480 or more

Well either way Honda made them both ways.. lol If it was up to me it would have stayed USDM, But hey the deal I got for it I can't complain and I'm sure no one else would. And yes, Mugen is A-OK, That's what i did with my old EBP Si

im making 25lbs on a 7lb spring. that means the wastegate is completely open by 3800ish rpm when i hit 7lb and its still building 18 additional pounds as rpm increases.
a smaller spring isnt going to solve that haha. at least a heavier spring will stay closed longer so that spool will be better.

im putting a 44mm gate on to help the issue. a 60mm gate is out of the question, theres no room. my setup is pretty efficient and is moving a LOT of air so the wastegate cant keep up. im even on a 63 backhousing, itll only get worse on a larger backhousing and exh wheel.

Good try. But I'm not biting. Honda meant for their cars to be used, functional, etc. That ITR on the last page is a mockery of why the car was invented.

Function over everything. My personal belief.

Not throw a bunch of money at your car just to impress other people.

Normally, I'd say you need a smaller WG to control that, but itf it's still bleeding off...44 should be fine. I run/ran a 38mm and was tuned on 17psi, but it was creeping to 18.5 up top. It's liveable, a psi or two.

Not liking the ITR on the last page is one thing but telling us what 'Honda meant .... ' is laughable at best. Did Honda make u fill out 'what will u be using this vehicle for..' form before u can walked out of the dealership with a honda or something? They certainly did not for me. may be it is different whereever u r.

What does impressing anyone have to do with anything? Did u throw money at the dealer or whoever else when u bought ur car to impress other people?

I'm not a fan of hella flush either however I don't consider that car hella flush. Sure, I would raise the rear and use less camber but those r pretty subjective things and it could be so much worse lol, yarLy.

Like you said, subjective. ITR/S2000/NSX's were never meant to be stanced, lowered to the ground or any of that nonsense. I'm sure the designers meant for them to be used in a manner fitting their nature.

Of course, everyone has their own thing don't they?

Please. What other purpose is it to have some of these overpriced, "rare" parts if not to look at and th have other people look at. Especially if they're non-functional. At the root, it's all for attention.

Noted, we agree on that. Too much camber on the ITR, and yes it could be worse. Consider this me conceeding to some of your points.

nm...ready for the weekend. yeh same with me except I've just been lazy. I'm gonna turn it back to stock because that is what Honda intended owait no that's just ITR, s2k and Nsx. saved.

I don't have to consider anything. Your response or lack thereof to the questions put forth says all there needs to be said.

Once again. u r telling us what Honda intended with what or their designers lol. U r not sure of anything. Honda intended to sell cars. They r in the business of selling cars. I know, blew my mind too.
