For those that have asked what plug the new 11th gen Civics use for the speakers, they use the Sumitomo 060 Type HX plugs. For those wanting to make their own harnesses or make a few with other enthusiasts here is the video on how to make them:

Managed to find the same speaker set for the rears. Just need the speakers to break in but overall its a nice improvement after driving a stock car for a few days. Will be posting how to make the plug and play harness soon so stay tuned!

Got fed up with the stock pads making the G025’s dirty even after one drive. Decided to use the Dixcel M pads that are much better for daily purposes.

Since we don’t have Bose here, I’ve just decided to change the front mids. I’ve made some home made harnesses that make the install a lot easier and essentially plug and play. Some sound deadening here and there and its a lot better than the flimsy stock speakers.

These have been a proven solid spark plug option for my FK8s with the Okada Plasma Coils, so just doing the plugs for now on the FL5 ?

Flapfab stone guards are awesome for those that don’t like the aesthetics mud guards provide. Quality and precision is top notch, such an awesome product.

Did this for both the FK8’s when I had them. Marginal yet weirdly satisfying effects afterwards - car feels smoother and a little more responsive.

Been tossing up between Enkei, SSR and Rays when an opportunity came up for some Rays G025’s. The wheel Sizing is 19x9.5 44 offset in shining black. The stock PS4S in 265/30/19 have been reused. Weight is about 9.2kg vs the stock 12.1kg so you can definitely feel the weight savings.

Needed the rear of the car up to work on but couldn’t find the rear jacking point for some time. Was about to give up then I found the culprit hiding behind the diffuser!

Saw a big rock/stone sitting in between a fender one morning and decided to do something about it. I’ve attached a template that I used to make the fender vent mesh but make sure you measure it and your printer prints the template in 100% ratio.

Really was starting to give up on the clean install for the rear dash camera until I had a light bulb moment ?- no drilling or wires sticking out. It’s quite a tight space to tuck in the cabling but not impossible to do so have patience and make sure to prepare two pry tools to make the job...

One of the mods I’m enjoying quite a lot is the Hybrid Racing shifter cable bushing. While the battery was out I decided to tackle it and yes while I could have taken the intake off, I felt lazy and I am famed for having small hands so I can work around things with ease ? This really makes the...

Was offered a replacement battery for a really good price so decided to try it out. Gained a bit more cranking amps and capacity hours but also saved a good 2kg / 4.4lbs of weight from the factory battery. Seems like North America and other Markets have different CCA ratings despite being the...

A friend was teasing me how an expensive Honda Civic doesn’t have Wireless Android Auto so started digging around in the diagnostics sections to see what can be done. Funnily enough it is present as an option but I do also suggest that you use with caution (also with a newer android) since this...

Having tried Tanabe before with the FK8 and reaching out to them in Japan, I’ve decided to stick with their strut brace and underfloor brace for the FL5. “Seems” like there is some improvement but probably a placebo as usual ?

The FL5 developed a weird rattle in the dashboard area that was starting to annoy me quite a bit. Using minimal butyl sound deadening (dynamat), I was able to fix the rattle as best as I can. The sound deadening was applied on the infotainment rear trim cover and also under the dashboard...

Never liked having bolts, hinges and striker plates shown bare so moved these trim pieces from the FK8 to the FL5

Put on black Mugen Mirror caps on an already black mirror cap to protect the black mirror cap ?

The factory rear privacy glass (for markets that came with it) surprisingly is 23% VLT (visual light transmittance). So if you wanted a factory-ish spec to tinting your windows, a 30% all round should give it that look since the glass already has a slight tint in it.

One of the best purchases I’ve done for the Type R. Really hated how the glossy part of the key would always get scratched up on the FK8 so this has been a must have for me.
