Reading your profile... a GR Yaris and a Jimny?! Forbidden fruit for us Americans. Awesome collection you have.

Haha thanks, but don't feel too bad -- you got an AP1 as well as a beautiful country!

The GR Yaris is an amazing thing, the Jimny is downright terrible but everyone adores it lol

Great to hear this. I felt the same way after driving the FK8 a few years ago - it was so good. I can’t wait for the FL5.
How is your FL5 on the highway? Would it do ok on long drives as far as ride quality and seat comfort?

I just drove 800 miles for a vacation and it's absolutely amazing on long trips. Seats are comfortable and the driver assist is amazing. To be able to set the adaptive cruise on long highway stretches makes it almost worth it alone.

Thanks for the feedback Drew. Your type R looks great.

Drove it all throughout the recent Texas "winter weather". Performed like a champ as expected

took my 19" Honda forged off to post for sale and put stockers back on, and I immediately notice stopping and turn-in requires just a little more afford. but still sick AF and just pass 1500 miles.

Did you have an Si before? If so, are you glad you upgraded to Type R? Thanks.

Did you put a spacer in?

Did you put a spacer in?

yes, for a few hundred miles, then took them off.

Any particular reason you took them off, any issues?

Got it. What kind of spacer did you use. I might use that and drop onto HR springs.

I wanted to have wheels ready by the time my lil piglet arrives. I can't find anything that I love other than SW388.

What wheels are you going to go with UFO?

Denton area. We got hammered. Still trying to find an allocation for 5k max, so cannot attest to its abilities yet...
