I'm 5'11" and my weight fluctuates between 180-190 lbs. I fit in there, but it's snug, which is exactly what I need to keep me from moving under G-forces.
I suggest keeping the stock seats unless you're seriously tracking the Type R. If you want full control of the car, you'll need a proper seat rail. The stock seats wonāt keep you planted during hard cornering, causing your body to shift and reducing your precision, which can ultimately impact...
I replaced the stock wheel studs because they were too short to work with a 10mm wheel spacer required for the AP Racing BBK to fit. The stock studs only allowed the lug nuts to engage five full turns, whereas the longer ARP wheel studs enabled 10 full turns, fully engaging the threads. The car...
I previously used R5 pads on the front and R3 pads on the rear. The front pads tended to be noisy when cold and not up to their operating temperature. Iād recommend using R3 pads on both the front and rear, depending on your needs. Titanium pad shims arenāt necessary. Honestly, if youāre only...
Coilovers: They're great for the track, super fast, but they're ridiculously stiff on the street. At the softest configuration, it is worst than R mode. I guess this is the price you pay for a wannabe race car. :rofl:
Final track day of 2024! I ran on a nearly bald V730 with heavy outside wear, though the inner tread still had some life left. My goal was to finish it off before switching to a new set of RE71RS tires. I also tested my new AP Racing BBK and noticed that the ABS no longer engages like it did...

Finally installed AP racing bbk with ferodo ds1.11 brake pads. I needed wheel spacer for it to fit!
Also, installed paragon rear rotors.
Note: I've noticed that the Paragon P2 rear brake pads have the same thickness as my new R5 brake pads, even after 3-4 track days of use. During three of...
I'm not sure if the extra power will perform well with the current setup. I know a clutch type LSD is better, but it also requires opening up the transmission after a certain number of miles. On top of that, the JRZ RS Pro coilovers have a 20k-mile rebuild interval. Removing the coilovers is...
Sometimes I do, but other times I forget because I get too excited about installing the parts. If you're referring to the AP Racing brakes, I believe their website includes the weight information.
" When comparing the weight of an AP Racing brake kit on a Honda Civic Type R FL5 to the stock...
This month, I need to focus on customizing a front splitter, and Iāve already upgraded to the larger Paragon rear rotors. While I do have plans for more mods next year, Iām starting to think I should stop investing in this car and consider getting a new BMW M2, used M4 Comp or a used 911...
I donāt have specific technical data, but this concept is well-established in the automotive world. After my track sessions, I can feel the heat being released through the vents. Attached are images of the SpoonUSA FL5 hood. Most of my track car friends use a similar setup as well.

Yesterday, i went to big willow. Thr car count was suprisingly low, giving me the opportunity to drive with minimal traffic on boost weather. Here are some photos and video.
I'm still a beginner with this car. I'm no Randy Pobst or Max Verstappen. Lol
The car is too refined and valuable for me to push beyond my limits. I'm genuinely afraid of crashing this beautiful build, and Iām okay sacrificing a second or two per lap if it means I can ensure the car makes it...
