This was my first time ordering from Japan. I ordered a Spoon Sports shift knob from Black Hawk. I paid for the cheapest/slowest shipping option.
I paid $94 total. I would have paid approximately $13 less (after California sales tax) had I bought it locally and picked up 5 miles from my house...
I just installed a Hybrid Racing shifter and competition rod, so I don't need these anymore.
Acuity short shifter
eBay base bushings (same design as Acuity)
Blox weighted knob (1lb, 10x1.5), plus a new chair sock for hot days
$80 for everything picked up in Socal (Fullerton or Pomona). $90...
Gorilla wheel locks for Honda/Acura (ball seat style for stock/factory wheels). Set of 20 black lugs. Key required for all 20 lugs. Search Amazon for "lug nut removal kit" to see tools thieves use to remove lug locks. Thieves won't spend an hour removing 20 locks when they can do it in 10...
I have an Invidia exhaust on my 2024 Civic 2.0 hatchback. The muffler makes contact with the underbody (where rear bumper support attaches) over uneven roads. I don't want to bend the support to increase the 1/4 inch gap. I thought about applying rubber trim like this, but I'm afraid it'll melt...
You're not softcore, unless you live softcore ? ?
I was encouraged to write this thread after chatting with a forum member about rear motor mount (RMM) options that are softer than PRL, but harder than stock FL5. I noticed older guys (including me) find the PRL RMM has too much NVH. I have a...
Stock FL5 Civic Type R rear motor mount with PowerFlex 70a inserts. This provides 2 setups for non-Type R owners:
Comfort: Remove the yellow inserts and use the mount in the stock Type R configuration. No vibrations. No engine rocking when shifting at cruising speeds. Wheel hop between shifts...
The paint and rubber sealer at the front-right jack point (behind front passenger wheel) peeled off after approximately a dozen times jacking at that point. I always used rubber jack pads. Is that bare metal exposed or primer? Should I cover with touch up paint? I live in Southern California...
Why does the stock FL5 rear motor mount have a slot in the bolt hole? Aftermarket mounts don't have it. Neither does the FK8 stock mount.

$212 picked up in Socal (Pomona or Fullerton). No shipping (costs $30+! ?)
PRL stage 1 intake for 2.0/non-turbo (K20C2) and a modified lower stock airbox. Used, but in excellent/like-new condition. PRL sells this new for $110 + shipping. PRL claims their stage 1 intake makes 4HP and their HVI...
Here's my 2024 Civic Sport 2.0.
Backstory on the car:
I bought in July 2024. I planned to buy a new car in 2025, then I read news that Honda would discontinue manuals in non-turbo Civics for 2025. So I had to act fast before 2024s sold out.
Modifications:
I prefer OEM+ styling for my cars. I...
