  1. Anyone running an HKS Spec L? Anyone??

    Let's talk about this again. It's been well over a year with my HKS Build. I'm still loving it. My HKS L-Spec sounds the best when I'M NOT IN THE CAR! Every now and then I take my car in for the usual maintenance check at Honda. Or it might be car wash. It's when the staff get in my car to...
  2. HKS SQIV BOV

    I'm past the 1-year mark with my SQIV BOV. I haven't had any issues with it at all. To the BOV Haters out there, sorry but my engine did NOT blow up to validate your point. Time has proven my original posts correct. Tuning is important. There's no doubt about that. However, if any of you...

  4. Show me your aftermarket shift knob

    First off, I'm not going back to stock. The adaptor makes it possible to use any Raceseng Shift knob. Don't worry too much about the weight. The first time you start using it you'll immediately notice the difference. It's all muscle memory. Once you get used to the weight after driving for...
  5. Show me your aftermarket shift knob

    There are some major differences. We get the 320psi version, but we don’t get certain colors. Also, Honda Sensing is not standard yet. There are some threads on this forum that talk about it in more detail.
  6. Show me your aftermarket shift knob

    No swap. That’s OEM Japan. JDM ASF!
  7. Show me your aftermarket shift knob

    I have Translucent Red. Heat is not a big problem. Raceseng Shift Knobs are so thick and heavy. It would take a lot of heat to get it too dangerous temps. I’ve tried other types. I want to get into other colors and styles from Raceseng in the future.
  8. What have you done to your Civic in the past 18 months-- before and after pics

    Just uploaded a new video. Wanted to answer the question, “What have you done to your Civic”? In my own way. Hope you enjoy it.
  9. Stop worrying so much about oil brand

    I prefer Motul and Redlinei synthetic. I won’t touch that cheap generic stuff. I want only the best for my Honda.
  10. 2000 RPM ( Rattle / Vibration )

    Yes, I was able to get it fixed. It took some time to isolate where the sound was coming from. Turned out to be the Bonnet stick. You know that thing you use to hold up the bonnet. The one thing in the engine bay that seems prehistoric. You should check that every now and then. The reason...
  11. HKS SQIV BOV

    Funny, I didn’t mention you at all. Why are you speaking up? All I did I the above post was tell that man my truth. Had my car setup at HKS technical factory. They worked directly with the people at Honda. I spoke with the R & D tech who helped designed the car in Tokyo. Now the question is...
  12. HKS SQIV BOV

    Bruh...bruh. Don’t listen to all the haters of BOV SQIV by HKS. I’ve had the thing on my car for a year now. It really isn’t an issue. It’s not hurting your engine. It doesn’t void your warranty. This is the Internet and people love to “hate” on things. They even attach conditionals to...
  13. 2000 RPM ( Rattle / Vibration )

    A very weird issue developed over the past 3 weeks. My FK8 Type R makes this rattling / heavy vibration at exactly 2000rpm. This happens in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. No matter what speed or what gear I’m in at 2000rpm something starts rattling and it happens near the driver’s side. If I drive...
  14. How long did your drivers floor mat last?

    You guys really need to go JDM style. This wouldn’t even be a 7 page thread if you guys go aluminum. Try to poke a hole through these floor mats.
  15. T.C.M Meeting in Japan

    My first “Drone” video. Guys, it’s not perfect. I’ll do better next time I know. For now, I just hope it’s watchable. Here’s it is:
  16. What Shift Knob are you currently using?

    You are right. I have Apple CarPlay in my system.
  17. What Shift Knob are you currently using?

    That is the JDM standard. No “Infotainment” system. We have to choose a navigation / audio unit when purchasing. I received my Type R in May this year, but I still think of it as the 2018 model.
  18. What Shift Knob are you currently using?

    Autumn is here. Colors are changing. Time to switch out shift knobs. Raceseng “Slammer” in Translucent Red. I’m going New York on em! Big Apple baby!
  19. What do you think the Type R is missing?

    Honestly, it can be loud and tame at the same time. You just need to get the right mods.
