ITR: to mod or not to mod? Come vote!
Seems to me like everyone on this board is modding their R. Curious if there are actually any people that are leaving it stock.

dang, I voted for I/H/E+susp, but I really meant to say:
I/H/C/E + VAFC + suspension
with a right setup, you should be around 175-180 whp.
plenty fast enough for me, espcially since my beater makes the R seem super fast anyway.

MODS:
Whoever is responsible for cleaning up the poll: THANK YOU!
Its amazing that EVERY time there is an open poll, it ends up filled with stupid, pointless choices. Perhaps H-T should start cracking down on those who choose to perpetuate this waste of bandwidth.

A header is worth it just to save some weight.
A clutch and flywheel, ooooh yeah. Ditch that girly stock clutch and zing to redline with a lightweight flywheel, which also takes a few pounds off the front wheels.
Drop-in filter, why not? They're cheap.
Lightweight rims (see a theme developing here?) with sticky, sticky tires. Ummm hmm. Pricy, somewhat easy to damage, and oh so worth it.
Of course, your milage may vary, as the old commercials say...

H/E for sure. Intakes are debateable - the comptech CAI seems to be the preferable one.
Change the suspension only if you don't like the stock one.

Those of you who want to or regret not leaving it stock.. can i ask why?
The one and ONLY thing thats drawing me back from doing some basic mods is voiding my honda warranty... i got 5 years on it and i don't want it to go down the drain. I've heard how "tight" honda are regarding this.

Wish I had money to burn so I can at least do the basics to it like I/E/H.
