Good to hear. My build is FINALLY happening this spring, and mine will be going on as part of it.

I put film on every vehicle's headlights I own as it prevents the yellowing and hazing you see most cars suffer from.

This worked for me and I'd recommend it. I inadvertently started that way. When I was told the pricing on the used FK8 I tested I decided if I was going to be raked over the coals, it may as well be for a new car and the latest generation.

Not all coilovers are the same. Care to share what you put on the car?

I'd be shocked if you found a dealer to let you test drive a car in such high demand as the CTR, winter or otherwise, so expecting someone to let you test drive theirs is a reach. I sat in mine with a salesman, on the showroom floor, for about 10 mins and checked it out while we chatted. They...

Ben - I voted 'I don't care' only because I didn't see a 'maybe' choice, and I don't listen to podcasts but might pop in if I saw a topic that interested me.

They work great. I used Apex's fitment guide (https://apexwheels.com/fitment-guides/honda/civic-type-r/honda-fl5-civic-type-r-wheel-and-tire-fitment-guide) and haven't had any issues. I purchased based on the guidance. Only mod I've done to date was pull the camber pins and go full negative...

I only spent a few hundred miles on the stock wheels. In fact, I crossed the threshold of my 600 mile break-in during my second session of the day at Lime Rock Park. The CTR handles better than the '21 BMW M2 Comp I traded in for the CTR. I have not noticed any meaningful torque steer during my...

I have 3 sets of Apex wheels and really like them. A set of 18" EC-7s for the street (265/35R18 Falken Azenis RT615K+), and two sets of 18" VS-5RS wheels shod for autocross (275/35R18 Continental ExtremeContact Force) and track duty (275/35R18 Nitto NT-01). Quite honestly I like the forged...

From Apex's OEM+ collection, I have a set of EC-7s, 18x9.5, ET58 in Race Silver. Running Falken RT660s 265/35R18 tires. No spacers, stock springs/suspension.

I purchased some 18" Apex EC-7 wheels (OEM+ in the fitment guide) to keep me in stock class for SCCA autocrossing, but I'm planning on installing a bunch of mods this spring that will kick me out of stock. I've already bought a second set of 18" Apex VS-5RS wheels (Performance Street and Track...

This is a very useful thread - love the honest impressions being expressed here. I'll add mine... PRL adjustable shift knob and a spare ECM. The PRL shift knob wasn't as white as I wanted - it looks like wax, and it gave me pause to install it, which I eventually didn't and got a Spoon shift...

Back in the days of printed and mailed newsletters, an avid autocrosser on the West Coast did an article on popular coilover kits of the day and their performance on a shock dynometer, and it was eye opening. He found that some very popular brands were nothing more than snake oil, with one...

According to KTuned's documentation on that intake, a tune is required: https://k-tuned.3dcartstores.com/8th-Gen-IntakebrShort-Ram-and-CAI_p_601.html

There were the Tail of the Dragon events recently... The difficulty is finding out about what is scheduled in time to make plans.

Got all these parts sitting in my basement waiting for the installation. You make it look easy minus the scraped knuckles.

Someone on the forums claimed the stock pads are rebranded Ferodo DS2500 pads. I've run DS2500 pads for years on my former track Evo 8 and found them to be very capable on the track and acceptable on the street. I stopped switching pads between street & track once I found the DS2500s were fine...

Most forums I've participated in have this feature, so it was surprising to find that this forum doesn't have that feature.

I'm glad my future tuner has a plan. ;)

Great thread and input. Very timely as I'm considering diving into a mild track build. The parts are in my basement - just waiting on the TSP DP to get started on an exhaust / IC / intake / oil cooler / radiator / tune project. One issue I've run into previously was having an ECU tune on my old...
