What did you do to your Type R today?

[adw818]

Warranty expired. Time to have a little fun. Ordered the Eventuri intake. Should be here Wednesday.

Looking to get a catted downpipe, front pipe and make a decision on a exhuast. Leaning towards the HKS Spec L, A'PEXi N1-X, or Fujitsubo.

Apexi N1 is extremely nice. No regrets on choosing it.

A'PEXi N1 ! Love mine.

I thought this was another one of those "Warranty expired. A/C is blowing hot" posts haha. Nice, that eventuri intake does look gorgeous.

Is your Nacional avatar a Senna reference?

My car does/did have some issues but AC still holding for now. Yes, big fan of Senna.

I've only heard exhaust sounds on video and these 3 are the ones that I've narrowed it down to. You guys might have just persuaded me on the A'PEXi. The main thing is I need to get a hold of a catted downpipe first because when I brought in my car for warranty on the rear main seal last time, the stupid tech snapped 1 of the bolt stud connecting the DP to FP.

Originally wanted to go with PRL but doesn't seem like they are selling downpipes anymore.

Rather than these gourmet exhausts, old fart casts one vote for AWE Track version. It’s not split personality like Touring but switching between the two is modular, easy, nor real expensive. Other than 1 J’s twin I’ve heard, can’t find anything as complimentary to our 2.0 turbos coupled w/catted, PRL FBO. There are many good ones, online samples suck.

Yeah, me too:

So I did a few things yesterday. 1- I went ahead and pulled the trigger, and ordered the RS-R Best*I Activate Coilovers, 2- sent some OEM interior trims to be done in CF instead of the overlay CF that are out there. 3- helped out at my boys shop, to install H&R drop springs on customers FL5. I still have mix feelings about this car over mine.

Fender bulge looks sexy from that angle. I also have mixed feelings, however.

Got a new hood and hood pins installed

It’s actually one of my favorite angle of the car.

saw my first FL5 yesterday in the wild. Honestly not a bad looking car but very subdued. It honestly blended in the rest of traffic and I only realized it was the FL5 after seeing the spoiler. CW seems to hide the body lines a bit, I thought it would look wider on the road.

on another note just hit 10,000kms in the FK8. Still in love with it and I probably won’t end up getting the FL5 after seeing it in person.

I like Honda’s model designation choices, easy to define:

FK8 - Freakin’ Killer followed by Eternity symbol on edge

FL5 - Forgettable Look we have to endure 5 yrs

More goodies arriving.

Was close to selling my car then we both decided not to go through with it on the same day and walla.....buying more car parts that'll make her like new again and then some. This is my 2nd ACT clutch kit. They are legit for the under 400tq daily driver IMO

Any reason you’re on your third clutch? I’m just curious, I mean shit i’m pushing 400whp and 389 trq and still on my oem clutch, plenty of bite left on it and no slipping yet. Lol

I drive 30 minutes 1 way to work, mostly freeway and i like to go fast. I take her all the way up to redline in 1st, 2nd, and then i get to 5-7mph over the speed limit in 3rd or 4th and then its cruise in 5th to 6th depending on the speed limit.....i do this at every red light so i go fast often. I only make 329hp and 340tq but i use my car to its potential. Saving time on the road every year until i die is giving it back to me at home to chill.
