After months of trying to decide what wheels to get a great deal in the member classifieds made the decision for me. Not my first choice but I like it. New red/black center caps on order.

OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT 19x8.5 +53
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. 245/35

Rides like a Cadillac compared to stock :p

Car is dirty :(

I have the same wheels but I went with a 255/35. Much better for the bombed out roads around here!

I have the exact same wheels and tires and my CTR is also CBP lol
It wasn't my first choice either but I like how it looks now.

They're growing on me. Once my center caps come in they'll look better.

Honda Civic 10th gen What did you do to your Type R today? 5080A8B3-D0C0-489A-A0FC-28C9EFF9FE27

Installed the Acuity Pedal Spacer at break time..
Despite having the correct tools and sliding the driver’s seat all the way back... really had to contort myself to reach it and do the install. Would hate to be a car stereo installer at my age. Went with position “B” to start.

Accelerator pedal is now flush with the brake pedal..

Played around with it. Will begin trying to learn how to heel toe....and use a vacuum ;)

Doggone it.. was reading a build thread then saw a comment about a Radium PCV oil catch can having the hoses reversed..

I watched a YouTube video (which was helpful despite this) and did the same thing. Called Radium tech support and they confirmed it. They say it isn’t a huge deal, it will work. ..just not as intended.

This is how mine is currently installed. So clean.. but backwards **bonk**

The side hose is cut about an inch short where it won’t reach the correct fitting. Will need to redo with a longer hose :(

Skimmed the instructions and whiffed it.

yes you need to switch

Probably my favorite mod I've done to the car to date. Anything that makes the car more drivable really pays for itself. I made the mistake of starting at the highest up (A I think) and finally figured out that the lowest setting was my favorite :p

After months of waiting my www.unity-performance.com #aegeanbluesi smoked/white marker lights came in. So nice.

Looking great boss. Was the install easy? How come it took so long to get them (shipping issues or stock?) I'm looking to get something like this done on mine as well.

Thanks bro.

The supplier Unity Performance had issues with his supplier. Amazing vendor though and I didn’t want any other set up other than the smoked with white. Well worth the wait and amazing customer service from the owner.

Easy install. The only thing is the wire on the harness from the car is short. To make the connection, you need to go in from the wheel well side as opposed to what is shown in the install video.



Second side took like 2 mins once I figured it out. I spoke to the owner tonight and he said he is going to put a footnote on his install video because Honda uses the same wire on the FK7 as the wider FK8. He joked and said the first time he did a Type R he was like WTF? LOL.

Installing on my sons FK7 tomorrow which I’m sure will be easy

Is the color temperature identical to the headlights? My current ones are a bit off and I'm looking for a matching pair :)
Yes it’s an LED so the hue is close to that of the headlights. One of the first things I noticed...... really cleaned up the look and they are bright.
