Club-Version FL5 Civic Type R Build Thread

[Club Version]

Dammit man! That is my dream wheel and I would love to find them in the Bright II color. Are you going to throw the stickers on them?

I'm gonna keep them as is with no stickers for now. I like the clean look, plus I go to the track a lot.

Dream Wheels Achieved
After about six-months of waiting I finally received my dream wheel setup from Matt at ICB. Ever since the re-release of the Regamaster EVO II came out for the FK8 I've always wanted a set. I ordered the lesser known size of 18x10 +50 so that the A052 265 35 R18 tires will have a tight fitment on the rim and provide the best possible turn-in feel.

After a few highway on-way ramp pulls (up to the speed limit of course) I can confidently say these wheels make a huge difference in overall feel. The car feels much more direct and responsive to my inputs and with the taller side wall it helps smooths out the small imperfections on the road. In addition, per my rough estimates the wheels are saving me about 40lbs of unsprung mass. Hopefully the weight savings and more direct feel will lead to lower lap-times once the temps are more favorable.

Enjoy the following pics:

Those Regamasters are HOT!!! I've been following the build on Insta, can't wait to see the on track shots with the new shoes.

Thank you for following the build! My next track day will probably be in July or August. I'm trying to plan a trip to Road Atlanta.

I need to drive RAtl sooner than later. I've only been on NCM and Mid Ohio, neither with my FK8
