It would be great to have a more hardcore version but it needs to be in the 60âs at most or itâs dead on arrival. This is still a Honda... -

I feel like a lotta people conflate using the 11th gen as a base for the type R as being the same as slapping a spoiler and a turbo on a...

Much of this sentiment I agree with, and it's part of the reason I think that many people spending $80k+ total on an FL5 build wouldn't...

The WOT undertray is a beast. It took the hit over the weekend. If it was the factory undertray it would have been an different outcome. -
