large wide rearview mirrors... they are useless with the top up.

but they rock with the top down.

also stick on blindspot mirrors. still can't see shit.

The Voltage stabilizer did nothing. But the Grounding kit on the other hand helped with the funky idle on my AP1.

I believe the stock AP1 flywheel is 11.xlbs. You are definitely not going to notice a difference in 1.5lbs. My friend with an RSX put in a 9lbs flywheel, and it made a huge difference, but his stock one was a lot heavier.

^I might be thinking of switching to AP1 flywheel and removing CDV. With AP2 flywheel being so heavy, I expect to notice some difference.... hopefully more ppl who did this will confirm.

that might be because your stock ground wires was all corroded. im sure if you take that ground kit out and reinstall a new stock ground wires. it will fix it as well

I do not concur. I have the fidanza unit in my car and the difference is quite noticeable.

Drive a stock car back to back and you will feel the difference.

I weighed my stock flywheel and it was 14.7lbs?? I noticed an inprovement with the lightweight flywheel also! Alot more midrange.
Also the engine tq dampener was one of my favorite mods! You can honestly feel it in the throttle response.

But my worse mod would have to be: NONE
