    This is my stock height FK8 on 18x9.5 +45 SAGA with 255/40/18. In my typical theme of doing opposite what I say, I ordered 18s this afternoon, haha! I got TE37 Saga S-Plus in the same size as my FK8 above, but in Diamond Dark. There are several reasons why. The biggest reason, though, is...

    Spacers, definitely not interested. The one great thing about the stock wheel at stock height is offset is engineered that way to mitigate torque steer as mentioned above. I do think some lowering could be in the cards, but it would have to be on Ohlins and setup professionally. Its super easy...

    So I am back on the "I want wheels" train. But it's a huge problem. Here's the work flow: 1) I want to buy some cool new wheels! 2) Most all the wheels for sale are 18s. 3) The FL5 is too big for 18s at stock height. 4) I live in an area with aggressive driveways, and I don't want to scrape-...
  6. C&D Lightning Lap Series: The Hottest Cars on America's Toughest Track

    Finally a fast EV on track. That Subaru is nuts. And there are a couple butthurt Type S owners in this thread. Lol. They said the CTR would only be a few tenths faster on the same tire. But the seats and lack of pedal dance requirement make that (few tenths) difference. That time is exactly...
  7. Road departure and collision braking mitigation problems

    I wanted to circle back and tell everyone that I’ve figured this out. I’ve spoken to the guy that bought my last Type R, and he’s never seen this problem! That was confusing to me, because it happened to me so often. Well, here’s the fix: Don’t be in a hurry. That camera is sensitive when it...
  8. FL5 OEM Bass + Subwoofer Speaker Ring Upgrade

    Haha! Bro, I don’t want it. I just didn’t really like the ITS module and reverted to the FL5 one pretty quickly. I hope you are enjoying it a ton, though!

  11. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Hey Thomson! What all do you guys have available in 19” right now? Sometimes a few options for Gram Lights aren’t on the site.

    This is a writeup about the FL5. I think the Si and A-Spec are a tier down. The Golf R DSG of course has stop/start, but the manual does not. The SS 1LE manual doesn't either. Regardless, that alone would stop me from buying an Si.
  13. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    Man, a few things I have really missed about or overlooked on this car the first time. The ergonomics are super great. The walk back on the infotainment nightmare that was the 10th gen Civic is a revelation. The HVAC controls, in particular, are super intuitive and fantastic. With the VW, it...

    Ceramic coat day. Boost Blue is a bitch to get right.
  17. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    To support this, I talked to the guy that bought my prior FL5 a couple months ago. Super cool dude, car guy through and through. He told me he has never had an issue if this happening with the car! I’m beginning to think the windshield sensor doesn’t like something in my garage, or the fact I...
  18. Road departure and collision braking mitigation problems

    No, I went back to a Golf R in between. I actually did ok. I paid less for my 2024 CTR than I got for my 2023 in trade.

    Thanks much for the reply. I’m going to stop being concerned about it.
