On to my third strut brace now 😂 Aesthetics wise (Blitz > Tanabe > Cusco) Sturdiness wise (Cusco > Tanabe > Blitz) In saying that this Blitz bar is way sturdier than the FK8 one they had.

The many uses these genuine bolt covers have is incredible. I keep finding more places to use them 😂

I don’t think anyone has covered the Blitz Carbon Intake System yet. These are essentially the GruppeM without the K&N filter. Very solid system in general, loved the fact it had a secondary source of air like the FK8 Eventuri’s had. Sounds great and after 2500rpm the car keeps pulling well...

This cargo net is for the FK8 but fits the FL5 well. I’ve found with the FK8 and the plastic boot tray that things slid around everywhere so this cargo net really helped with this problem.

Always liked the double wang on the FK8. This was a cheap and subtle option that works well with the black roof I have 👌

Always hated the horn on the FK8 as it wasn’t forceful but the FL5 is unfortunately the same. Mitsuba is the oem horn provider for our cars so it made sense to go for their after market series. If you are removing the bumper for any reason its best to install it then!

Had the bonnet open with the engine on and when I was working on the car I found another rattle 😂 This one was an easy fix so do it as a preventative if rattles bother you.

Another day, another rattle 😂 While doing the Seeker Short Shifter I found that the centre console was very flimsy and rattly. You might as well start firming up the console best I can while it is out.

I missed my Kakimoto exhaust from the S15 so I’ve decided this time for the FL5 I’ll get one. The sound is very mild with an Apexi GT Front Pipe and the exhaust has been top notch quality as you’d expect from Kakimoto in Japan. Another key decider was the three tips hence going this route...

Part Two of One for the Seeker install - Seeker Super Shift Collars aka shifter base bushings. Having had this combo for 2 weeks now on the FL5, I can confirm its a nice and solid shifting experience overall.

Having had this setup for the FK8, this is a very nice option for those not wanting to go the full shifter option from Acuity and Hybrid. Seeker are well known for their Honda tuning and parts and this is another loved mod for the Manual Hondas in Japan.

With the Turbo install gaining momentum, Titanium studs from Two Step Performance were a must for me to ensure you have all areas of the install covered. 4 for the Exhaust side 4 for the Engine Side 2 for the Inlet side (smaller) Do it right the first time is always a good mantra to live by...

Spoon was out of stock with no ETA 😞 Had to give Corey and the Team at Two Step Performance a go with their cerakoted valve cover to match the 🥄🐌

It was a bit of a gripe when buying a car that there wasn’t any liner in the boot well which made an expensive car feel “cheap” The liner has both functions, one for keeping things in place as a compartment and the other as an insulating layer. The FL4 liner fits perfect in the FL5 and...

Another awesome product from Australia 🦘 This time I’ve tried out the Alplus Aeroguards for the Fender vents and I must say I’m impressed! It’s really awesome to see different price points from which we can choose from for the fender vent solution.

Spoon Air Cleaner X PRL Stage 1 Intake Hose Kit Definitely a good combo in my books before the big boys like Eventuri and GruppeM release their air intakes.

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.
