  2. Front Plate Mount Options - FL5 Type R

    Yes a little but the factory grille opening is huge and the car is being used on the street so engine wont be stressed thermally. If you were to track your car with one of these brackets on it is a simple case of removing the four small screws that hold the plate on so as not to block the...
  3. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    I have not driven an FK8 so can’t directly compare. For the FL5 when in “Comfort” mode it is about as stiff as my Alfa Giulia Ti. The ride is not ‘floaty’ and the suspension quickly damps out sudden impacts nicely. It is NOT a luxurious feeling ride but instead is taut but comfortable. Sorry...

  10. 2024 Integra Type S Officially Announced! + First Drive Reviews!

    Man that thing will be a winner if it looks like those renderings. Existing Integra has a nice side profile but is a bit narrow relative to its length. Flared fenders in the Type S probably will get the proportion near perfect
