  1. Another question on the potential of me making a type r wagon

    Oofā€¦..personally donā€™t get the point, as these CUV things everyone drives seem like the worst compromise of both an SUV and sedan to me. The Type R is already a practical 4 door hatch with good space inside. But still wish you luck. As long as you know it wonā€™t be worth anywhere near what you...
  2. Finally made it happen. My dream car.

    Congrats! Very happy for you man. I know the auto rev match is great but if youā€™re like me and like to heel toe yourself, I highly recommend a pedal spacer. Was the first mod I did and best upgrade under $100 for me.
  3. What did you do to your Type R today?

    https://www.mintmodels.com/autoart/2021-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-racing-blue-pearl-in-118-scale/p/28193 Ordered mine from here. Used a code for 15% off too but canā€™t find what it was in my order email.
  4. Fun second car ? In addition to the FK8.

    Congrats! Is it a manual? I originally went in to the dealer to put a deposit on a manual Tacoma TRD Pro before changing my mind and switching it to the 4Runner. Similar to the 4Runner, despite all the reviewers whining about how ancient they are, I would still take this gen over the new Tacoma.
  5. Installing a physical CD player in a new 2024 Honda Civic Touring Sedan?

    This is cool, always appreciate the old school guys that are happy to ā€œmiss outā€ on the newest tech gadgetry or app. I used to obsessively update my itunes library and hunt down new CDs/mp3s to add. It got too overwhelming to keep up with so finally caved and started using free Spotify. Gave up...
  6. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Not exactly something I did to my Type R but more something I picked up because of it. Saw this Autoart 1:18 diecast models of my car (except in RHD) and had to have it: Level of detail is very impressive. Also couldn't resist and ordered a MotorHelix EK9 CTR which is also pretty detailed...
  7. Body shop around metro south?

    Who did you end up going with? Happy with the result? Not metro south but I've heard nothing but great things about Mike's Auto Body North in Saugas. A bit out of your way but supposedly one of the best in the state. I bumped into the owner at a cars & coffee, believe he drives an NSX Type S...
  8. The Case Against and FOR the OEM 20 inch?

    I never went wider, I just went up to a 245/35/20 Michelin AS3+ tire on the OEM wheels. But even though the stock FL5 tire is also a 30 series, the 265 width makes it a slightly larger sidewall than that on our stock 30 series tires. Keep in mind, even with the added sidewall, I still blew out...
  9. Massachusetts WTB - Mugen carbon rearview mirror cover + OEM carbon (interior, mirror caps)

    Thanks for the info! You have one with the same part #? Surprised to hear it doesnā€™t fit good, looked like a good fit from the pics Iā€™ve seen on the FK8 mirror. Are you interested in selling yours? šŸ˜ Iā€™m in MA too.
  10. Left disappointed with the FL5…

    Curious as to why? Bored of the FK8? Worried it will start having issues? Drive too many miles? Iā€™m the opposite type of car buyer as Iā€™ll only buy a car I really love and only part with it if it either falls apart or becomes too problematic (hello Jeep and Germans!). Now that I only have...
  11. Anyone have an iPhone 15?

    I have given up on wired connectivity lol its too annoying. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max in an Otterbox Defender case that is held on securely via a Nikumotors mount + Proclip magsafe holder + Apple magsafe charger combo. Automatically connects to bluetooth for sound (mostly use Spotify) and I...
  12. If You Were To Upgrade From Your Type R, for a automatic what would you go for?

    Can't comment on the MK8 but I was in the market for a MK7 Golf R when they were new. It was fast, could turn into an AWD rocketship with a little modding, but just couldn't justify it over the GTI in either manual or DSG. It was kind of numb and boring imo. Surprisingly, I found the GTI to be...
  13. If You Were To Upgrade From Your Type R, for a automatic what would you go for?

    They're all awesome imo. GSF is the ultimate enthusiast dadmobile. The RCF is a sweet GT coupe with some track focused bits. I think the advantage of the LC500 over the others is it isn't a top trim variant of a regular Lexus. From the development to the design to the interior, its more special...
  14. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Those look great! Very nice. This would be my choice for a summer set if I didn't have my NSX wheels. Is the offset higher than the OEM wheels or do your rock guards just make it seem like that? Also, what size tire (sorry if I missed this from an earlier post)?
  15. If You Were To Upgrade From Your Type R, for a automatic what would you go for?

    Thatā€™s amazing, good for him! Iā€™m probably as equal a Toyota fanboy as I am Honda. Those V8s are glorious and bulletproof reliable, just wish it came in a manual and maybe the option for a lighter/less luxurious Toyota variant. But for a luxury V8 GT car, you canā€™t go wrong with that or, if you...
  16. If You Were To Upgrade From Your Type R, for a automatic what would you go for?

    If manual wasnā€™t a must, Iā€™d have an IS500, RC-F, or LC500. Maybe even a used GTR if it wasnā€™t a daily. Havenā€™t looked at prices but wouldnā€™t be surprised if you could find used RC-Fs for a nice discount, as people typically donā€™t appreciate V8 Lexus models until they announce theyā€™re killing...
