Hello Everyone,
I’m excited to join the community as a brand-new owner of a Civic Type R! I picked mine up just last week and managed to score an amazing deal.
Let me just say… WOW. I can’t believe how much fun this car is. It’s honestly unreal. I’ll admit, I was one of thosepeople—"4-cylinder? FWD? No thanks." Over the years, I’ve owned some incredible cars (and still do), but I never thought I’d be having this much fun in a $50k car.
My original plan was to use it as a daily driver, especially for my once a week commute to the office. Plus, I like keeping my co-workers guessing—questions about what I drive always get awkward. But now? I’m completely hooked.
I’ll be honest, when the FK8 first came out, I didn’t even bother looking because of the crazy dealer markups over MSRP. I didn’t give the FL5 much thought either—mostly because of my bias against 4-cylinder FWD cars. But after testing the waters to see if I could even find one near MSRP, I decided to take the leap. And wow, am I glad I did.
Now I’m looking into modding it and would love to safely push it to around 400 WHP. Time to dive into this forum and start learning everything I can.
Looking forward to connecting with you all and getting advice from the pros here!
