  1. Has anyone purchased and installed HRS Power Folding Mirrors from HIREV SPORTS?

    Hi, I really like folding mirrors and had them on prior cars. But, I was always worried about the cost to fix them and for the civc type R I am a big believer in KISS...less weight. less motors. less moving parts.....so I actually like for this car the lack of them. Less is more.
  2. How do you jack up your Type R?

    I bought Verus little blocks designed to clamp onto the pinch welds where you jack ...protecting them. Chose red. Mechanic LOVES them (as do I)....eacy to find, function well. Tire shop loved it too..... My jack works find with them.
  3. Has anyone tried powder coating the OEM forged FL5 wheels?

    The +60 is so that the front suspension has little to no torque steer. Having tried the Forged OEM wheels and some other more common Forged 18" wheels with 200 track tires with a "better" stance, the +60 DROVE superiorly to me because I don't like torque steer. So, as I bought the car to drive...
  4. I found this on a google search and it is so wise I wanted to share it - from a person I have never met named Steve Brereton.

    This is from a Facebook post by Mr. Brereton. dated 6/3/2025. Based on my experiences on other platforms and with a lot of prior track time, I think he may be (edited from "is") correct. The Type R FL5 (what we have) is near perfect. Be mindful that perfect is really hard to achieve...balance is...
  5. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    They must have fixed this by 25.... (this is not meant to be annoying, apologies in advance)....mine has zero rattles.
  6. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    Not buying it sooner.
  7. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    My playing with Gemini High end for a few minutes and adding some editorial: For the Honda Civic Type R (FL5), Verus Engineering is the primary aftermarket company that consistently publishes detailed aerodynamic data (but they have not released their FL5 parts yet....), while HKS provides...
  8. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    Just like those without an R should not install a a huge wing (unless balanced with full car aero..front, and perhaps even with side data considered), those with an R should not delete without knowing what you are doing..... Honda tested the car and what they sold was optimized. Their...
  9. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    JDC customs can do black, silver, gold, rainbow.....it looks the same save no "bezel rehaut" but not sure if they did it...they absolutely could - and black does go exactly with the dash...so cudos to chuck76. I like it a lot too! Fit is perfect for the record. See pictures in the plastic...
  10. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    That is superb....black matches the dash really perfectly....love your steering wheel...
  11. Trading in FL5 for G80 M3?

    As a GT car owner and 993 owner....the Rennlist thread is your friend...the GT3 crowd moved it as it was probably seen as too threatening....and disruptive to their discussions on paint color and thread color matching with leather steering columns (those are big time issues nowadays as the GT3...
  12. How's your FL5 holding up ? 30k+ miles owners and track users please comment

    I have a 2025...no rattles. Too young to see reliability issues but after a year and a bit feels like brand new after using it for "canyon runs" and everything else. It is a Honda - taking care of it....it takes care of you is my philosophy. So have done short OCI's. There are serious track...
  13. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    I loved the idea...and they looked very closely at the Acuity (and stock, don't have a Hybrid racing one) - the issue is the plane of the plate is lower than the clamp on the rod....so simply may not fit unless you make a sort of dome/bubble/raised level for the gated plate. To me, that...
  14. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    Every "car person" who sees it is just blown away. Seems like it is sort of OEM...so call it OEM+ given the hex pattern is a match. No issues after a few weeks. Recommended.
  15. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    Cool idea (gaited). Very. For me: I want to be able to see the acuity shifter as I find the mechanism itself elegant and nice to look at...so if I did gaiting I'd want the mesh that JDC used in most of it too just to see things...having it worked out in 3D is really key, agree with you. JDC...
  16. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    Price will likely come down if a lot get sold, so in theory if all of you want them..it could get cheaper. I have nothing to do with JDC save I was a customer and they were willing to try this idea out with me. I saw intermediate steps - there is talent and work in this thing...a lot of it...
  17. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    Ask them...I like the branding actually....they made such a good piece that it sort of supports them. Think rehaut (spelling?) on an R brand watch....it is very tasteful in person....actually adds to it. The coloring of the text is next level stuff. The shifter says acuity.... I like to...
  18. Shifter Plate in Ti - CUSTOM - Designed with JDC Customs (warning, eye candy)

    Well, this is sort of a fun post - did an acuity shifter. Great update. Then did an acuity extension rod in stainless (to add weight and height....they have ti and may go there later, but went stainless steel). Then found a Tokyo made recycled skateboard knob in 1.5" diameter (same as stock and...
