i haven’t had issues with the OEM but I replaced it just to be safe with innovating titanium coolant tank. No issues, no leaks perfect fitment and workmanship. Sight level easy to read.
I’m on ADVAN APEX V601 275/35/18 tires on 18x9.5 + 45 offset rims. I’m on stock height and it’s a little taller I think but looks much more aggressive than the PS4 which I like. Way less tire noise, better comfort , more grip.
you need a turbo blanket otherwise the inlet pipe will be feeding hot air back into the turbo. the exhaust manifolf is internal and its by design and there isnt much that can be done otherwise honda would of redesigned a whole new engine to get around it. Small radiator not going to do much on a...
Got my FBO installed few days ago and the installation was flawless thanks to a reputable local Honda performance specialist. All she needs is a dyno tune in the near future.
PRL: IC, FP, charge pipe, rear mount, stage 1 silicon intake kit, Turbo blanket.

Hi Jester,
Running Stage 2 turbo with FBO with stock fuel system will run cooler on 18 PSI boost compared to factory turbo running higher boost obviously? . I'm still thinking if I should upgrade to MHI stage 2 Turbo, I only want around 380 WHP but on 93 gas assuming its equivalent to 98...
this is the part number 71105t60j00. I have two spares I ordered from Japan just in case it needs replacing. I have to be really careful going up my driveway. Lowering my car is forbidden.
Full XPEL PPF plus ceramic coat, tinted windows, rock fender guards. Upcoming upgrades will be BBS RIA 18 with 265/35r18 tires due to too many pot holes.
All those Sydney guys got their Type R's delivered and yet we are steal waiting in Melbourne. Melbourne is far too behind compared to all the other states.
no, it was hanging around for couple weeks outside of port Philip bay in the ocean and it docked at the port last week and unloaded. The ship left the ports so basically it’s either sitting at the lot or getting delivered to the dealers. Hopefully delivery this month maybe.
The vehicles docked at the port last week from the shipping career rcc tianjin. I don’t think the cars going to sit outside for 3 months. The paint will surely get damaged from the weather.
Thanks for the info, I already made up my mind and I’m going ahead with the purchase and already got the plates to go with it.
We are still lucky in a way compared to the yanks as they’re paying 100k even 113k AUD because they don’t have consumer laws.
I was after a fun reliable sports hatch...
my dealer called me today and pretty happy I’ve been allocated champ white. Paper work next month. My 2nd colour of choice was blue but only grey, black and red available which I didn’t want and only 4 units for this batch.
What colour have you been allocated? Is 13 days is when you make full...
I’m still waiting for the news from my dealer when I get my champ white and I’m guessing probably around march maybe. That boost blue of yours looks dynamite my two favourite colours for the FL5 for sure. Already got my plates ready to go on asap.
You also have to factor in the markup prices the yanks have to pay. 55K U.S.D is equal to 80,741.38 Australian Dollars. I rather have a fixed price than to buy off dealers who can mark it up to what ever figure they like. My dealer told me it would be around 65K plus or high 60's AUD which is...
