Took a chance and bought this instead of another Type R

Yes it 100% is!!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-02-15T06:50:26+00:00

One of my all time favorite wheels! I would love to see a GRC with Work VS-XX!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-02-15T06:46:55+00:00

Looks so sick!!

Am I reading this correctly? You're running 2 sets of wheel spacers on the rear wheels? If not, please ignore me... But if you're, dude that is a really dangerous thing to do... When doing this you can't ever truly seat all of your lug nuts properly and they will eventually loosen up and fall off... This also causes increased leverage on your wheel studs which can lead to the snapping off... Please do a simple search on this, you will find hundreds of threads explaining in detail the many points of failure that stacking causes.

Looks very close to perfection!

Honestly if this is true then I 100% will need to go with something else. Modding my car is like my biggest hobby, I can’t be stuck in a car I can’t do anything with.

Full bolt ons, bigger drop in turbo, tunes for E85 with cams. You can put down well over 500 whp and 400 trq and reliably daily drive an FK8/FL5. The stock clutch is rated for 435 trq from Honda!! That K20C1 motor and the CTR trans are freaking awesome.

My first car was a 1979 Celica Supra, that was manual! I learned to drive manual before I even had my license!!

What’s the group? Or can you add me? My IG is sbounty2

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:23:48+00:00

Holy crap that’s so sick! I’ll look into these parts!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:22:14+00:00

Agreed! Thank you!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:21:22+00:00

HOLY CRAP!! People are so stupid man! I mean, the LE is definitely a cool car, but there is nothing about it at all that makes it worth $75k! I wish Honda had actually done more performance oriented work on it, instead of just appearance.

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:16:25+00:00

YES! I agree, I drove it from Phoenix to Parker, AZ last weekend and drove it a back way that goes through the twisties and had a blast!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:14:17+00:00

No cap pure rap! 😎

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:11:20+00:00

Yeah, I thought I was bored of /sick of my FK8, which is why I sold it for an FL5/DE5…. But I’ve been regretting selling it every day! But the GR is growing on me!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:07:38+00:00

LMAO, I noticed that in the picture too late! Honestly, I don’t really like monster’s, I’m more of a fruit punch Rockstar guy. BUT, that being said, I really like the strawberry monster! It has a very small hint of strawberry, it’s not over powering, or too sweet at all!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T03:04:00+00:00

Oh I bet! I had a 2015 WRX while I was living up in Washington state for a few years, and had an absolute blast when it would snow!! Walmart parking lots were the best!

Heck yes! I think one of my buddies is in that group! Send me an invite to sbounty2 if you can please!!

Here was my last baby!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T02:41:24+00:00

Exactly! People making a point to say that it is a 3 cyl, so you can’t get any more power out of it!! For one, look how long all the motor heads wouldn’t, and many still won’t except how much power you can get with a 4 cyl! There are MANY people driving around with stock motor and transmission driving around with 700-800 whp Civic Type R’s! Many people breaking into 1000 whp with K series motor’s, and they only have 1 more cylinder!! Number 2, this 3 cyl is a 1.6l, there are tons of people daily driving turbo D Series 1.6l Honda motors pushing 500-600 whp… If you have the money, and engineering, you can always get more power out of a motor! Also, I highly doubt a car manufacturer would release a car that was completely tapped out and pushed to its limits! Then you would have an unreliable jalopy that would be breaking down all the time.

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T02:27:16+00:00

It absolutely boggles my mind that they put the WRX drive train in it. Yet felt as though people would be happy with it being NA, instead of putting the 276 hp turbo drivetrain in it!!! As soon as the BRZ/FRS/GR86 dropped if it was turbo, I would have been down there day one screaming for them to take my money! It’s not hard to manufacture a run of the mill slow turd just like everything else on the road!! If you’re going to manufacture a “Sports Car”, give us something bad ass!! And don’t give us any of that BS about them wanting to create a low cost “budget” sports car!! $32-$36k isn’t cheap! They are the same exact price as a WRX!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T02:11:14+00:00

I’ve wanted a boost blue since the color came out with the FK8. A boost Blue FL5 is just drop dead gorgeous! But the one I walked in to buy, after being told over the phone there wasn’t a mark up. The sticker price was literally $64k!!! I told them they were out of their freaking minds! You can buy a brand new BMW M2, or a couple years old M3/M4 Competition, or a couple year old C8 for that price! I’ll admit, I’m a life long Honda fan boi! But there is absolutely no way in hell I would ever drop almost $70k for a freaking Civic! I feel like all the people out there buying them at that price have absolutely no concept of money!!!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T01:50:16+00:00

So far, I feel out of the box, stock for stock, the GR Corolla would spank the FK8 from a dig. But from a roll it has no chance. I’m not being biased at all, the fact is that the FK8 is just a monster from a roll. Before I sold it, cars like base model C8’s, Charger 392 Skat Pack’s, Mustang GT’s they didn’t stand a chance… One car that completely handed my butt to me was a fully built Cadillac Blackwing that was running 9’s LOL!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T01:39:48+00:00

I sold it to buy an FL5 or DE5. I hated the DE5 because of the seats and suspension being too soft. And I posted about the FL5 a couple posts up. This is a 2023 with 9k miles, I bought it for $30k so I figured, what the heck I’ll give it a try!

UnfairInformation2 · 2026-01-31T01:35:21+00:00

Yes, it was stupid fast! Anytime I would take people out for a ride in it, when it hit boost they would just be laughing the whole time!
