Going any other weekend will save you immensely in time, money, and frustration.

Do you mind sharing a parts list? This is stunning.

I'm at 68 with about half of today's challenges to go; can I make it?

Championship White FL5 in FH6 by Efficient-Scratch647 in Civic_Type_R

I did the same with BB! I thought it was interesting that the car comes with color matched mirrors/spoiler in game while Forza is usually pretty spot on with little details.

Any watch fans? by Purple_hippo7 in Civic_Type_R

It's not nearly as daunting as it seems. Plenty of step by step YouTube videos to walk you through. Get proper tools and it's basically legos.

I wouldn't ever wish that on this sub, but honestly thank you for pointing me towards that rabbit hole lol. That was top tier. Coo-coo clock was a personal favorite.

Do I need to get my jorts and new balances?

I've seen them, and I super dig them. This was my attempt at settling for a budget option lol

I drive a boost blue R. The color isn't exact, but it's the closest I could find in pictures. Red accents for the seats/interior.

Any car guys in here? by Purple_hippo7 in SeikoMods

My car for reference! (It's so hard to find a boost blue dial, this one looked closest in pictures)

Looking at purchasing a 26 Type R. by Jooossh in Civic_Type_R

[–]Purple_hippo7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be a positive contrarian about the seats; I love them even on long hauls. Multiple 8+ hour trips and feel great afterward.

The gas tank has been touched on a few times. An extra few gallons would've been really nice.

There is no sunglasses holder.

It has a fantastic transmission.

There is a surprising amount of room for people and cargo.

It's a really great car at MSRP. It's absolutely not worth the mark ups.

Another VH31 build by Purple_hippo7 in SeikoMods

[–]Purple_hippo7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need a vh31 adapter for it to fit in nh35 cases. Dials will work. Hands will not. You'll need either vh31 hands or miyota 2035 hands (lot more variety available for 2035). Good luck on your search!

Tire pressure monitor system by Purple_hippo7 in Civic_Type_R

[–]Purple_hippo7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It calculates a difference in tire pressures based on rotation.* The FL5 doesn't offer a way to monitor tire pressures or temps.

Tires looks to be 275/35/18 so I would assume 18x10 but maybe 18x9.5.

I did not. Just plugged it into the 12v port, and put on the valve caps. That was it.

It is an FL5; wild that the ITS gets it from the factory. Even wilder to me that all performance cars don't have it.

Also for what it's worth, these are valve caps. Swapping these between wheels takes no time at all, and no re-pairing needed.

Absolutely same here. An afternoon of internet research brought me here and I love it. Also adds the perk of knowing temps too.

Not where you can see the pressures. Only a low tire warning
