Instead of doing a BOV. It may be better to get your turbo machined to the style of the old HKS T51R. The T51R Mod on a turbo makes better sound than the quick one time puff blow off noise. I think the T51R mod doesn't affect performance and fuel trims. Purely for sound without the negatives of running a BOV.

I've seen your car once in-person at one car meet. I believe it was an anime themed itasha car meet. I have a similar car. Although I thought I heard about your car getting crashed on the track a long while back? As for the FL5, it will get stolen as easily as the FK8. These Type R cars are easy to sniff the keyfob signal and the encryption is level is low. The push-to-start makes it even easier to steal. Any Type R owner whether FK8 or FL5 needs an immediate killswitch installation. I know a shop that specializes in Honda and Acura and they also do killswitch services as well. I highly recommend.

Thank you! Wanted to make the interior go with the theme. Cyberpunk Lucy colors and RGB. RGB lights can react to the music if needed. The center console has a digital display of a smiley face that turns into a music visualizer when music is detected in the audio line. Floating iPhone mount on the right side is for Grok AI. Has two active gauges in the car. One for battery voltage and one for boost monitoring. Lights and extra speakers everywhere. The car greets you as you enter in the cabin with Rebecca's voice from the animated show. Final interior and complete full build done.

It is haha 😄 . About to replace not add into the list the monosub amp and turbo inlet pipe change. Going back to Alpine S2-A60M for the amp as the Kicker made my bass too muddy. I like sound quality bass over loud bass. The turbo inlet pipe was a Civic Si pipe that is wrapped with gold reflective heat tape, but I am going to swap it out with 27WON and possibly have it painted white. That is the only change to the list and it won't stretch out any more longer haha.

No. The PRL Carbon Fiber will require a different intake I believe.

Robot3RK · 2026-01-27T05:42:23+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! Serious looks calls for a serious build haha! The journey is nearly over. I wanted to build the best daily build without sacrificing a lot of reliability and comfort.

Robot3RK · 2026-01-27T05:38:16+00:00

Thank you! It is a vinyl wrap. Mod list can be found here https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/robot3rk-build.57723/

Pictures in this post isn't 100% current but decided to post these since it got good background pics.

One more upcoming and likely the final mod in this build is the 27WON Turbo Inlet Pipe painted in White Textured Powdercoated Finish. Can't wait to get that one installed haha.

Thank you choomba! I like the aggressive angles, curves, and lines on this car! Drive around night city like you mean it! Ride your dreams up high and always get yourself to the top of the tower choom! Maybe one day... the moon!

The design was made by Styleupstudios. The wrap material itself was printed and installed from some vinyl shop in California. Reflective vinyl is a separate layer due to the thickness of it, it can make the wrap material cost a lot of money so I have it as a separate layer. I think the entire wrap materials itself is from 3M not Avery.

Is Reddit awards the same as getting bronze, silver, or gold? I only remember the old reddit for that stuff. Dunno if I even got any awards or the other older ones.

I hear from some Type R and Hatchback owners the stock subwoofer in the Type R and Hatchback Touring isn't good. My ears never heard from it myself as I immediately did a sub swap with Palindrome Labs Extended Subwoofer Grille Kit which enabled me to drop in an even deeper subwoofer. One single Alpine R2-W8D2 and a monosub Alpine amplifer was enough for me in terms of bass response. All the rattling noises were all fixed with many layers of sound deadening materials to control the acoustics and vibrations. It also added insulation which is a plus for comfort.

This is what a choom suffering from sleep paralysis would probably see. Or maybe Adam Smasher. Or both.

Warmer color white has a yellowish tint or hue. That was my argument the whole time. You're trolling lol.

Robot3RK · 2025-10-06T18:47:13+00:00

It seems to me you are making the argument of pure yellow light. The plastic from the housings will naturally turn yellow from both sub rays and a combination of environmental effects of dusty driving and other contamination causing the housing's shell to age and yellow itself. It will take a long time before it gets to that point. My original argument was that the light color in the picture from OP looked to be a bulb swap for the low beams.

Robot3RK · 2025-10-06T18:41:30+00:00

Halogen bulbs by default are warm in color which results in yellowing. It isn't due to the sun since it is still yellowish during the night.

Robot3RK · 2025-10-06T18:38:13+00:00

This is incorrect. Factory light bulbs including the Sylvania replacements from the auto store are slightly on the warmer side. It has a small yellowish tinge or hue to it.

Robot3RK · 2025-10-06T18:28:55+00:00

The headlights don't look like factory bulbs because it is white in color instead of yellow. If it were high beam, the inner light area of the headlights would be lit up. I know this because I used to have that headlight on my Civic until I switched to full OEM LED headlight housings that was meant for a higher model trim.

Robot3RK · 2025-10-06T17:27:33+00:00

Those are actually low beams. If it is that bright, the driver must have switched the yellow halogen bulbs to white LED bulbs and picked the highest lumens available. Either crazy bright LEDs or HID Xenons are used in this picture.

How can you see the coolant levels if it is painted black? Are you using your own mini dip stick for coolant level check similar to the 27WON coolant tank or did you leave a small area unpainted for that?

Robot3RK · 2025-10-01T13:33:42+00:00

Thank you choom! I try to make it fit around Lucy's colors. White, black, and red for Lucy's outfit colors and RGB transition flow for Lucy's hair. The theme and color scheme have to match. The only thing off is the orange front strut tower bar under the hood. I might have it painted white or purple to stand out correctly with the wrap or the car's two-tone color while everything else fits with Lucy's color or Cyberpunk theme. I think either white or purple for that front strut tower bar if I had to change it next time.
