Thanks a bunch for sharing the build! You did a great job recording your journey along the way and sharing it with the rest of the community Type R owners. Awesome work! :thumbsup:

Update: Wheels/tires sold. Stock springs still for sale, $180. If a buyer wants to pay for shipping I can ship.

Exactly my thoughts! Although this topic of sound is 100% subjective.. I must say I love the sound of rumbling V8s, who doesn't? However, I am very picky when it comes to exhaust sounds on smaller output engines (4 cylinders). There's a difference between noise vs good sound. Old school Subaru...

Thanks for the update Vlad!

I understand what your saying now. So if one does go about messing with the turbo then might as well assume fuel system has also been upgraded to support it. In my mind, at least right now, the car needs to beat any lightly modified V8's, traditional American muscle V8's. Considering most of...

Good advice. May end up going that route. All depends where it ends up after phase 1 and 2 and after the tune. If it don’t feel fast enough will have to do more. Before I start changing the fuel pump and injectors we will see where it sits and go from there. Totally agree the money spent for...

Hi tree. Love the championship white! Look forward to seeing how it turns out with your new goodies you ordered.

actually I have been down there a few times. Took my wife and kids to the corvette museum and then headed over to the track. Never could afford to track my car there though. I was there last fall in my Camaro 1LE and met some really nice guys at some kind of club or open track day. There were...

I’m Danville area. If you’re around Louisville that’s about 1.5 hours away from me. I have had this car for almost a month now and never seen one in person other than when I bought mine. Although we went down to Gatlinburg recently and I found another blue FL5 was parked right next to me! Made...

As I find more photo opportunities I will try to update the OP photos with more!

As you can probably guess by the name, I think sailboats are cool lol and I love sailing, but I also love fast cars too. I've had a passion for modifying cars since my first car back in 1999, or was it 2000, I don't remember. My first car was a 1990 Honda civic hatchback, my second car was a...

I believe that FBO + Tune will land the Type R around 360-380WHP. From what I have found, most builds that are breaking 400wheel are running flex fuel and/or bigger turbos. I suppose the only other option for breaking that mark and staying on pump is going with a bigger turbo, but is that...

Makes sense then considered both costs are relatively the same. That is something I didn’t think about, NA and turbo applications. Although we still see cams with superchargers and turbos, perhaps the priority would be to upgrade the turbo and if you want more later then do a cam package..

Okay found out according to a cam comparison video by tegiwa that should be good up to near 9000 rpm on a stock oil pump but anymore they say should look at changing. The civic they were working on though was not an FL5 it was an older model.

Granny shiftin, not double clutchin like you should. -toreto lol cars probably fine! We all freak out with our new cars when we goof, don’t stress too much. Have fun and just keep taking good care of it from then on.

I recently discovered their cam article and I thought it was very interesting! 500hp is going to be a lot of power, but I think that would be really tough keeping down! I’m going for 400 to the wheels, which probably equates to around 420ish-425ish HP at the crank.

Hey guys. Anyone done cam work in their type r yet or know from experience how it handles it? It does not seem to be as popular a job as compared to Chevrolet. I know it works VERY WELL with Chevrolet on a longevity basis and drivability. You gain more power at the top end of the power band...

Lots of cool scenic pictures there. Road trip? We took one to gatlinburg a few weeks ago in the type r with my wife and kids. Was a fun trip and fun drive. Even met a Camaro zl1 on the drive back home to Kentucky had some fun on the interstate drive back hehe

I have searched for a thread on this and I couldn’t find a “general topic” area in the FL5 forum. Apologies if this is already posted somewhere. Any upcoming meets around the east or southeast? Shoot, anything but west coast I guess. That’s pretty far away. I know we got winter approaching but...

So far I put on my wheels and tires, hr springs. That was about 2 weeks ago. I have the oil catch can I just need to take the time to install it. Waiting for temps to get back above 40! It’s been freezing outside lol yesterday I put on my front lip from Aeroflow dynamics. Had planned on doing...
