Hi all, Haven’t been on here for a good few years, had an FK8 for about 18 months and loved the car. Several cars later I’m back to the Type R as a contender for my next one, this time looking at an FL5. What’s the view on this, who has made the switch? I also had a cat back on my FK8...

Can anyone give me the dimensions of the cat back flange that connects to the front pipe? Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Has anyone had any issues with the rubbers around the windows? Across the top of my. Windscreen mine is started to get damaged and has a 'flap' in one place, albeit only a tiny section. Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

So this might be a bit of an essay... I'm thinking about a remap and pondering whether to go stage 1 or 2. Will stage 1 be enough for me day to day, yes but I'm thinking I might as well do it properly! There are a few good places up here but no out and out Honda specialists. JM Imports seem to...

Anyone else's parking sensor go off on the front randomly in the rain for prolonged periods? Or after the rain, assume due to water run. Dealer told me its a known problem but no fix for type r's sue to the bumper. Issue hasn't happened in a good few months but with a weekend of rain reappeared...

After getting a refurb done on one of the OEM wheels due to a pothole and an increased commute after lockdown (price of tyres) I'm considering a new set of alloys. At the minute the car is a daily driver but have plans to do the occasional track day maybe once, max twice a year. I'm leaning...

Has anyone lowered their car? Considering getting a new set of alloys and looking at dropping it slightly too. I've seen eibach and h&r springs are a similar price and both seem reputable. I've also seen tein offer a spring kit and are a chunk cheaper but don't know much about them. Any...

I'm going to guess up front the answer here is no but I will ask anyway... Is the instant jailbreak any less traceable by your Honda dealer, or even not traceable at all, when compared to a regular jailbreak? Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Hi, Can anyone recommend any tuners who specialise in FK8s in the North East? The 2 I've found are Evotune in Durham and JM Imports. Both seem to have great reputations but not known as Honda specialists that I'm aware. Evo list Hondata on their website and JM sell Hondata through their store...

Hi Just popped into the local garage this morning for a puncture repair on what I thought was a slow puncture on one tyre. Turns out both front tyres are wrecked and come away where the tread meets the side wall. Only just over 6k miles on the clock. Honda are telling me I can expect 4-7 from...

Looking at getting some 25 or 30mm spacers to fill the arches out but read that it totally kills the handling. Any thoughts, experience or advice? Concious this might be the wrong section but figured it would be OK as it's handling related! Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Hi Just had a custom cat back exhaust put on my FK8 Type R. I planned to hang onto the the stock exhaust to bolt back on in case I stumbled across any warranty issues. Only problem is the guy has used the stock flange to weld the cat back onto and thus sawed the stock exhaust off just after the...
