Yep - I run the 18x11 ET44 5x120 72.6mm bore ARC-8s - they aren't listed as an FL5 fitment (although Apex lists some of their forged ones in the same spec), but they work great (and they are a lot cheaper). Black Friday is approaching!

Recently installed whiteline adjustable ball joints (-2.6 front camber) and had some fun at MSR Houston & Harris Hill.
Also just realized you can fit a FULL set of wheels and a car seat in this car. Incredible.

I usually carry wheels differently but this looks to be a much neater way, will try it next time.
Oh yeah this car makes it such a pleasure to carry stuff to the track. I have carried 4 wheels, full size jack, ramps, the gigantic box full of my track shit, helmet bag, full backpack and there was still a ton of space left, front seat was empty. I basically just use the rear doors to make putting shit in the back easier

Nice! I am looking to do something similar for next season's autocross build. How much camber do you have so far?Yep - I run the 18x11 ET44 5x120 72.6mm bore ARC-8s - they aren't listed as an FL5 fitment (although Apex lists some of their forged ones in the same spec), but they work great (and they are a lot cheaper).

I haven't had my car formally aligned but on my camber gauge I'm around -2.5° up front with the Ballade camber plates. The plates have more room to adjust but the lower spring perch on the factory shock has clearance issues with the chassis, however I still have more than just pulling the pins by probably around 0.5°.

Installed my Remark Ti exhaust today, partnered with my Innovatig downpipe! I no longer need sound or vision to shift at redline. I simply use my teeth.

Ive watched the old video, I think thats the exhaust I want. Light, amazing construction, sounds good, have been meaning to ask if you were gonna get the same or something else. Ill be honest I just wish the tips weren't blue and they sat a bit more in (I can be a bit OCD lol).
Can't wait to hear it with the DP

It sounds like a bazooka shooting an enormous swarm of Africanized bees. I picked it up used from a guy locally.
If I'm honest...it sounds great with a catalytic converter.
Without a cat it's... violent.

I'll try to get one this weekend. I was going to post a video up of the Radium catch can install as well, but ultimately cannot since I no longer recommend this product.

You no longer recommend the Radium catch can? How come? Usually their products are pretty solid.

Their CCV catch can caused increased crankcase pressure resulting in oil spitting out of my turbo seals on deceleration and clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust. Check my build thread real quick. I put in a full writeup last night.

the K20 doesn't need a catch can. Honda has it down to a science.

I really hope SCCA opens up the ball joints for the Type R for next year, but I may just do a Tuner build at that point. I just need to get my headspace right, so next year is a make it or break it year for me in terms of going for competitive times, or just putzing around the track.
