Cheers mate!

I’m near Doncaster VIC. I originally had one allocated MY23 last year August just so I have my name on the system because I told my very close sales person to put me on a MY25 CW, he said that’s the only way to secure one before they even allowed to put my name through for a MY25 because they...

Ordered one, signed one, deposited $5k, received receipt and config profile at 12pm Tuesday. I can confirmed this is true lol. My gut feeling was yup this is the last lot, it’s now or never, so I bit the bullet without hesitation.

You’re absolutely spot on! I reckon the MY2026 is only for filling their huge backlog in the JDM. Therefore, MY2025 could very likely be the last batch for worldwide market

Pretty sure Honda loses money on every single one they make just for the sake of making a halo car for the brand. It is what it is. The chief engineer explicitly told the press when it’s launched that they simply couldn’t improve this engine anymore, everything has been juiced out to its max...

Flashback from FK2 black final edition, it was also 3-year production run

Exactly lol. Honda realized they priced the the FL5 too low in JDM now they trying to make a bit more lol. But I think the real reason behind is that their red interior supplier couldn’t make enough for them to fill all the back orders before March 2026 (looks loke they gonna cease production...

Same thought! Especially this is the only CTR that comes with the full red interior like the OG EK9 did. I think the red interior is the original intention of the engineers and designers. They knew this might be the last pure ICE CTR so that wanted to give that classic OG looks to it.

Just came across this beautiful integrated lip from Noblesse. The idea is to make a seamless lip that integrates to the factory lip. But boi they are a bit pricy :(

Sounds about right. Japanese forums have been rumoring that Japan factory will cease production in Spring 2026 in Japan. Thus the introduction of "racing black edition" to quickly finish any backorders that have been piling up since Jan 2023. They mentioned the "racing black edition" is only...

Exactly. I am currently in a situation that I don't want to collect my FL5 until I move to my new house once it's done building in Mid-Fall 2025 (currently still in a shared house and don't want to drive new car lol, you know what I mean). I contacted him, he strongly recommended me to place a...

I think his new posts mentioned, the racing black edition is only for existing back-orders. And the dealer didn’t mention anything about resuming the order book in JDM. And he also mentioned the racing black editions get the interior panels from a different supplier so that Honda could fill the...

I’ve been following creative trend, a Japanese blog. Looks like the racing black edition is pure interior color/material change only (suade dash and door panels are cool, but I prefer something that’s easier to keep clean of so I’m okay with the current soft plastic trim) And I think the full...

Could you please confirm whether or not the 2025 model comes with Google integration head unit? Much appreciated :) Hope you enjoy your new ride and drive it in good health!

It’s about the very tight phase 3 noise regulation that will be in place as of 2026 in Japan. This engine is very likely to be unsustainable within that restriction. Honda would very possibly end the production of FL5 once and for all until the next gen hybrid Type R. Even the Japanese market...

Well considering FK generation civic’s regulation production started from 2011-2017, FK2 was only produced from 2015-2017 based on the facelifted looks, you can tell from the taillights. FN2 I mean hardly a civic type R, you could call it Jazz Type R, even at one point the promotion video from...

I feel like mid/fall 2025 as a MY2026 FL5.2

Yea that 3-year production run to me is a huge grain of salt. Nothing has been confirmed.

History always repeats itself. Everytime when the regular civic gets a facelift, the Type R follow, except the FK2 generation which it was already based on the facelifted look. So I am pretty sure the FL5 will get a subtle facelift as well (since we have already seen the facelifted looks from...

CPW is always a bit milky
