Significantly quiet! I like it though, Im passed the phase of wanting to get attention every time i rev match/engine brake. hehe

You can't undo 4 nuts and bleed brakes?

I am the point of my life where I'd just have someone else do the work for me. Always on the go with work and family, there's barely anytime for me to put in the work myself, sucks, i miss those "lonely driver" tuner days where i'd always have all the time in the world to do car stuff... it's just not the same anymore
as easy as may be, as I have done it myself, i want the experts to do the job thoroughly..

you are correct, much of the work was done by me and with the help of friends. I should have clarified much more not to confuse those following my build that im having Everything installed by a 3rd party. As simple a bleed job might be, i wanted extra care with going the Dot 4 fluid route as i heard it takes time to flush out the dot 3 fluid thouroughly. If i sticked to dot 3, i could do it myself, but then again, i just dont want to deal with potential mess with brake fluid (had bad experience -_-)

SpeedBleeders make the job simpler since they feature a one-way check valve in the bleeder. This allows fluid to come out under pressure (brake pedal pressed) but as soon as the pedal is released a spring in the valve seals off the bleed port so no air can get in.

More parts on the way:
RV6 Catless DownPipe
Custom AirScoop (replaces factory duct thats goes thru grill)
2018 OEM M/T Sports Pedal Set
Not sure if KTuner is worth the buy. Suprisingly I do not hear enough members with their experience with the product. Can anyone chime in? I plan on purchasing the NST pulley next and see what numbers I can pull without ECU tune. Im thinking ECU tune is essential considering all the power mods so far..
I plan on dynoing btw!

Im not finished with the chassis tuning yet.. will have to wait until the car can output more significant hp/tq numbers. For a daily, I think this should be as good as it gets.

cool stuff. that gas pedal looks tiny.. can you still heel toe with it?
i cant remember if i swapped the gas pedal or not on my GE with another brand. i usually run sparco pedals when the gas pedal is too narrow. (i just run the Sparco gas pedal and rest is factory)
super basic, but very functional and you can shape the pedal to fit your gas pedal base without worrying about it snapping.

If you want to wait a little longer (next month) Acuity will be coming out with a pedal spacer to bring the gas pedal closer by 30mm and adding 3 different mounting spots. I've confirmed with a prototype that it will fit our GKs as well as 9th/10th gen Civics. Makes heel-toe a lot easier by decreasing the amount of height between gas and brake pedals.
