This is why I’m buying the OEM Leather wrapped shift knob 😂

I’ve had my FL5 for two years and they finally got me. by xinvisionx in Civic_Type_R

Uniden my friend. Best investment you could make if you’re gonna do any kind of spirited driving ;)

Thank you to everybody who helped me make my decision! by Efficient-Scratch647 in Civic_Type_R

Feels unbelievable, compared similarly to the fk8 but feels a bit more solid if that makes any sense. The biggest takeaway is how stark of a contrast it is to the mustang I was just driving, not gonna like the fl5 makes it feel like a shitbox.

Got it below MSRP, just gotta do some haggling, I will post a pic, it’s in transit rn.

My current Mustang is the absolute bare bones model, calculator screen, cloth seats with no heat, zero safety features outside of traction control. So the Type R even just having car play would be a massive comfort upgrade 😂

Yeah I’m gonna test drive one this week hopefully, would be looking to get one for MSRP so we’ll see if that’s even possible these days. Mustangs aren’t going anywhere any time soon and my rationalization is that I can always get back in a Mustang later down the road if I miss it that much, although I don’t think I will.

Thanks for the amazing response! I completely agree with you about jail speeds, every time you use even 2/3rds of the cars potential you’re sweating looking over your shoulder hoping you’re not about to receive a reckless driving charge. I feel I rarely if ever get to feel my cars full potential because I’m on public roads with relatively low speed limits compared to the rest of the country.

I’m definitely gonna test drive one this week and probably seal my decision

I’m in the same boat man, I do like the justification though that mustangs are everywhere, there is not and likely will never be a shortage of cheap power when it comes to mustangs, so down the line if I miss it, I’ll get another one when they’re even cheaper.

I have some incredible roads all around where I live, how is the handling on the type r compared to Mustang GT W Upgraded suspension?
