  1. Civic Type R - 5 seat conversion

    I have test fitted the bottom seat cushion from a Civic Sedan a couple years ago in contemplation of getting rid of the middle cup holders and being able to fit a middle rear passenger for that rare situation when I might need to fit a fifth passenger, albeit unrestrained. It was a perfect fit...
  2. AEM Water Methanol Injection

    My PRL Charge Pipe has a place where I plan to have the V3 nozzle installed. From what I see others have done the same.

  4. AEM Water Methanol Injection

    My V3 kit is in at USR. Getting it installed next Friday. Then tuned at EBTEC after. Still in development using Snow Performance parts. Email [email protected] for details.
  5. **The FK8 Track Junkie Thread!!**

    Gonna take my R out for the first time on track in August for JZilla track day at Road Atlanta. Stock grille and hood, along with FBO, meth and Hondata. I at least have blankets. I hope I can get enough track time in without things getting too bad temp wise. I plan on having the Hondata app up...
  6. Hondata wont connect to headunit need help!

    The Hondata app for the head unit is very old and outdated. I prefer to use android auto on the head unit for navigation and I just use the full feature Hondata app on my phone.
  7. Head Gasket Blown - Head Studs and Gasket Recommendations

    Thank you for your reply. I did find coolant in cylinders 2 and 3 with a camera. And coolant did come out of overflow a couple times on warmer days. When I switched the engine off I did notice that the coolant overflow tank level would immediately lower considerably. I watched my temps and drove...
  8. Head Gasket Blown - Head Studs and Gasket Recommendations

    Mobil 1 0W-20 Have you had to replace your head gasket also?
  9. Head Gasket Blown - Head Studs and Gasket Recommendations

    Well, main reason is I didn't want the head gasket to fail again, and I still don't know if the oem head gasket is a weak point. I've gotten different advice ranging from oem head gasket is fine even beyond 600hp with ARP head studs to oem gasket is not good enough even with ARP head studs, I've...
  10. Head Gasket Blown - Head Studs and Gasket Recommendations

    My mistake. I did mean intake valves. I have used CRC a few times also, maybe that helped. But do look at these other pictures inside the head. I suppose what matters most is that the tops of the valves are relatively clean.
  11. Head Gasket Blown - Head Studs and Gasket Recommendations

    At this moment I am one of three FK8 owners I know of that have blown head gaskets at the same time. Two of us are tuned with close to the same mods, basically FBO. I have 74k miles. I started noticing issues about 6 months ago. My car is at USR in Cumming GA taken apart and we are about to...
  12. Hard to see oil level on dipstick...

    Its so funny to see people defend the stupid plastic dipstick tip. Plenty of us agree its hard to see the level. We dont care about the dumb holes on it, we just need to see the exact level. My Ridgeline is so easy to read the level without needing to even wipe the dipstick. I wish there was an...
  13. Type R Interior Question

    They aint pretty but they are made for the R and they are waterproof. They come in different color options. They were out of the red with black sides so I got the reverse color.
  14. Drift King Tsuchiya drives the Type R + impressions

    Wow I watched this the other day literally understanding only 0.5% of the words they spoke because I thought caption were not available! Glad I rewatched it with captions on this time!
  15. Why is there NO rev hang in the Type R?

    The FK8 with rev match enabled will also hold the correct matched RPM during upshifts, which could be mistaken for rev hang as well. But there is actually a minor amount of rev hang and at times when you upshift too quickly and let out the clutch you'll get that forward jerk.
  16. Hatchback owners: any 3rd brake light blackout overlays available?

    Looks good but also looks like its too dark. I used Lamin X on the clear part of my taillights and I chose the lightest smoke tint. But since you did not tint your outer brake lights you should be fine for rearward visibility. Your car would look great with the clear inserts as well.
  17. Type R Interior Question

    Those seat covers look like they would crush the bolsters. Be careful. I got a set of seat covers so I could lysol my seats when the pandemic hit and they were too tight on the seats and they put too much undue pressure on the bottom cushion bolsters. I have since switched to the dream...
  18. Adding heated mirrors to LX trim?

    I really want to chenge my side mirrors to heated folding signal mirrors. But it seems that all the powerfolding mirrors are for RHD models. I will settle for signal and heated mirrors. They would have to be hard wired to the turn signals and then relayed to the rear defroster or a custom switch...
  19. Is Hondata worth buying for a daily driver?

    Quick clip of my 2017 vs a brand new 2020 from a roll. I am on the Hondata 93 tune with PRL HVI, Charge Pipe Upgrade and IC My friend's boost blue is stock. I also have a sub box with two 10s in the hatch. Ill put a better video together as I have go pro footage too, but this clip clearly...
  20. Realistically, what is the next car you are aiming to get in the next couple years?

    Keeping my R. About to hit 60K. I cant think of a better balance between performance, practicality, reliability and fun.
