Thanks a bunch for sharing the build! You did a great job recording your journey along the way and sharing it with the rest of the community Type R owners. Awesome work! :thumbsup:

Update: Wheels/tires sold. Stock springs still for sale, $180. If a buyer wants to pay for shipping I can ship.

Exactly my thoughts! Although this topic of sound is 100% subjective.. I must say I love the sound of rumbling V8s, who doesn't? However, I am very picky when it comes to exhaust sounds on smaller output engines (4 cylinders). There's a difference between noise vs good sound. Old school Subaru...

Thanks for the update Vlad!

I understand what your saying now. So if one does go about messing with the turbo then might as well assume fuel system has also been upgraded to support it. In my mind, at least right now, the car needs to beat any lightly modified V8's, traditional American muscle V8's. Considering most of...

Good advice. May end up going that route. All depends where it ends up after phase 1 and 2 and after the tune. If it don’t feel fast enough will have to do more. Before I start changing the fuel pump and injectors we will see where it sits and go from there. Totally agree the money spent for...

Hi tree. Love the championship white! Look forward to seeing how it turns out with your new goodies you ordered.

actually I have been down there a few times. Took my wife and kids to the corvette museum and then headed over to the track. Never could afford to track my car there though. I was there last fall in my Camaro 1LE and met some really nice guys at some kind of club or open track day. There were...

I’m Danville area. If you’re around Louisville that’s about 1.5 hours away from me. I have had this car for almost a month now and never seen one in person other than when I bought mine. Although we went down to Gatlinburg recently and I found another blue FL5 was parked right next to me! Made...

As I find more photo opportunities I will try to update the OP photos with more!

As you can probably guess by the name, I think sailboats are cool lol and I love sailing, but I also love fast cars too. I've had a passion for modifying cars since my first car back in 1999, or was it 2000, I don't remember. My first car was a 1990 Honda civic hatchback, my second car was a...

I believe that FBO + Tune will land the Type R around 360-380WHP. From what I have found, most builds that are breaking 400wheel are running flex fuel and/or bigger turbos. I suppose the only other option for breaking that mark and staying on pump is going with a bigger turbo, but is that...

Makes sense then considered both costs are relatively the same. That is something I didn’t think about, NA and turbo applications. Although we still see cams with superchargers and turbos, perhaps the priority would be to upgrade the turbo and if you want more later then do a cam package..

Okay found out according to a cam comparison video by tegiwa that should be good up to near 9000 rpm on a stock oil pump but anymore they say should look at changing. The civic they were working on though was not an FL5 it was an older model.

Granny shiftin, not double clutchin like you should. -toreto lol cars probably fine! We all freak out with our new cars when we goof, don’t stress too much. Have fun and just keep taking good care of it from then on.
