  1. Show your % of tint on your FL5

    It is the xr plus, seems very quality, and you can definitely still see the red peek through especially on a sunny day it is hardly noticeable. In the shade and at night time you will notice it looks darker from the outside. Heres a few side shots with slightly different lighting. I feel tint is...
  2. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Apex wheels ML-10RT in 19x9.5 +45 on stock suspension and tires. Might lower it soon on swift springs. Couldn't wait for better pictures to post as this was in the tire shop parking lot. Love how they fit oem center caps and 64.1mm bore.
  3. God Spec info 18x10 +40 (pictures, alignment specs, tire info)

    I see. Swerve and dodge I must. San Diego roads are just as unforgiving as anywhere. 18s just dont look great compared to 19s. Style>function shouldn't be a thing with this chassis but im trying to find a happy medium.
  4. God Spec info 18x10 +40 (pictures, alignment specs, tire info)

    Outstanding fitment on this thread. Any reason 19x10 on 265/30 tire with 39 offset would be a concern? According to fitment calculator its nearly identical but am unsure why I dont see anyone opt for a 19" package other than tire prices, availability and comfort vs and 18 with 35 wall.
  5. Sound Deadening Project

    I am a bit of an audiophile so I personally notice a difference. It definitely has not gotten rid of road noise altogether but I have felt an enhancement in speaker audio and a quite minimal reduction in nvh for sure. Using kilmat and 157mil closed cell foam. As previously mentioned it all adds...
  6. Sound Deadening Project

    Big shout out to op and Johnloov for this thread. I am sound deadening my type r after experiencing some very bad highway roads on a CA to Vegas trip and this info is very helpful. Just finished trunk, backseat and rear wheel wells. Doors are next! I come from owning a few amgs prior to this and...
  7. Show your % of tint on your FL5

    reviving this thread since i had trouble finding any pics of a 55% all around including windshield. I wanted a balance of clarity/visibility and the heat protection from CA sun with just a bit darker than 70% for glare. Loving it so far.
  8. Current FL5 Market

    England I believe. It is indeed a Lotus Emira but toyota or amg engine.
  9. Current FL5 Market

    I just picked up a boost blue fl5 at mossy honda lemon grove in san diego, CA end of july at msrp + about 1100$ paint protection. He said they need to hit sales goals by the end of the month. Original sticker had a ridiculous 20k$ mark up though. They're out there if youre patient, I was...
  10. FL5 is a huge Upgrade from SI. Motion sickness tips?

    That was the only time I have ever experienced motion sickness in a drivers seat. Im prone to it on Rollercoasters, plane landings, occasionally the passenger seat if my eyes aren't on the road. I believe it was a combination of many things such as being dehydrated, 2500ft+ elevation change...
  11. FL5 is a huge Upgrade from SI. Motion sickness tips?

    Thanks thats sound advice. I do feel like its the closest car to perfection from the factory that I've ever had and dont want to do too much. Ive definitely "ruined" my fair share of cars when the mod bug hit. Also wow such an active forum, really appreciate everyone's responses.
  12. FL5 is a huge Upgrade from SI. Motion sickness tips?

    Hey im just a wholesome guy trying to aid the community with possible common issues haha. The breathing and hydration is something i may have underestimated. I dont want to take dramamine constantly and probably had too much caffeine and not enough water....I wasn't ready smh
  13. FL5 is a huge Upgrade from SI. Motion sickness tips?

    Thanks I appreciate it, such a dream car for me. I was in sport suspension but maybe comfort is ok for twisties? I have a history with motion sickness and run this car in gt7 occasionally but those game sims can never replicate g forces. Praying I just get used to it. Also I do like the bounce...
  14. FL5 is a huge Upgrade from SI. Motion sickness tips?

    Hello all, First post. Just joined and traded my 2024 civic si for the 2025 Type R. I kept hearing the civic si can do 80% of what the type R does but feel that is a tad misleading. This thing is a different animal, a big jump in performance and driver characteristics. Took my first mountain...
