    First attempt at detailing - advice needed

    All depends on how far you want to take it. Problem with super resin it's a filler polish so hides the scratches till you begin to wash it. Have a look at Poorboys black hole which is a glaze, this will do a similar job to super resin but I prefer it. If however you want to do some proper...

    Tbh that behaviour of idle staying at 1k and then dropping to 750 is normal and how it should be. I too have had hondas that would drop straight to the normal idle but then have had that did this

    Idle speed 'surging'

    Sounds like what ever it had had cleaned itself through. Could be a fuel issue or anything else. If anything cleaning the iac was a good maintenance measure.

    Problems after clutch and dmf replacement

    Sounds like it's not been put back together properly. First point of call is take it back imo and get them to fix it? Even when it does run right your not sure they have installed the clutch properly. Can you take it back?

    Accord type r replica

    I did a very similar conversion to a previous Accord and made it look like a type r. If your doing exhaust then a cat back dual exhaust like the type r is needed. Then some lowering springs and if your good with the dremmel then make the front grill with a black mesh
