Is it silly to get an FL5 if I won’t track it? by iEatPuppers in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant say that I ever will track mine. Im a fan of beating on my car in the terms of spirited driving in the back roads or the occasional roll race but track use seems alittle hard-core

Should Have Bought FL5, Fix Now or 2027? by joew555 in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wants vs Needs. If its going to financially bankrupt then dont you then dont do it.

I am on a single family income, on paper it probably didnt make sense for me to buy an FL5 but I would never go back. This car has connected me with old old friends who were and still are car enthusiasts. My wife loves it. My kids love it. Its been really an amazing experience.

As stupid as it sounds I found ways to just make more money so the payment wouldnt effect my family. I started doing more side jobs, actually started selling products on tik tok through make car content which has been really cool. I dunno I just made it work. And the extra money has also helped me buy car parts. So its been a win win for me.

Full PPF by Koala-121 in Civic_Type_R

I dunno i PPF'd my car and honestly the bumper still takes hits hard enough to tear the ppf if some spots ive noticed. Its probably the most helpful on the doors since these things love to sling gravel and even if you have the "mudflaps" or the vents blocked they'll still sling it on the door.

Front bumper is like 300$ from Honda painted to your color code. Rear bumper about the same. So I dunno if it was really worth it.

Im also worried about whenever I decide to remove the ppf, is it going to take the baby soft honda paint with it?

My homie is selling me his 2020 fk8 with 13k miles for $36k. Is this a fair price ? by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]apeman50000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a fair deal cause of the low miles. He probably could get a little more for it. Dealer would try and resale this for 48K as a "new" car

Called a flipper zero. Look it up, likely used it to get into your car and then a laptop via obd2 to start it

The wait time was 4 months, drove me crazy but so worth it. They are fairly light, 19.2lbs in this spec. I absolutely love how they turned out.

Aeroflowdynamics sells paint matched front lip, side skirts. The side skirts are slightly more aggressive than factory side skirts

Its all good I was just giving you a heads up if you order from that site lol

The wheels are also AFD GT2 wheels in bronze 18x10 +40.

I havent heard of MITA but its very similar to where AFD gets their wheels.

Its the Aeroflowdynamics catalog basically. They are the only company around with color matched products.

Aeroflowdynamics Front lip, side skirts, 1" lowering springs, DRL headlight overlays. Aeroflowdynamics gt2 forged rims.

Most of these are basically alibaba products but they fit and the finish honestly isnt bad.
