Looks like US Civic Type R FL5 versions are on their way to shipping...

Go figure. I’ve had a side mirror motor actuator fail on every one of my BMW’s that I’ve owned for more than 5 years. Then again, those were BMW’s.

Owned an Acura RSX Type S with power folding mirrors for over 7 years and they never had an issue.

Speak for yourself. I've only been driving for 10 and had it happen twice.

I think its UK Q1 2023 and here in Australia Q2 2023.

Interesting - Where abouts did you hear the Q2 for Aus? Was that something you heard from an official/dealer etc?

Most recent chat with my SA and vague info from Honda Australia, via the SA. Nothing confirmed but given the priority for Japan and USA, this is the anticipated timing.

I've spoken to my dealer also and he is confident there will be an initial allocation for Aus in December (delivery hopefully Q1). He couldn't find where he read it though.
He also said Honda had asked for dealer feedback regarding colours. They could launch with all colours or save 1 or 2 for a mid-life update like they did with the FK8.

I would be very happy to be wrong and for you to be right on this!

Most curious to see these out on track without overheating, the FK8's need a list of mods to help them stay cooler

well i can tell you, honda put that vent in the right spot and the front looks like it's bringing a ton more air in

i'm pretty sure focusing on a car to not overheat from the get-go like the fk8

 

[Cornercarver]

Hopefully it is what it looks like - new Type R's on their way for those waiting on them. I am helping out by keeping m FK8 - one less buyer to compete with. You're welcome.

ipeefreely spent thousands (maybe more) trying to overcome the overheating issue on his FK8. It’s a fascinating read. Maybe Honda took notice in designing the FL5.
