2023 FL5 Honda Civic Type-R - Volk TE37 | Swift Lowering Springs | OEM Accessories

[@carminered]

U can tell the dude was taking good care of each wheel not to damage. Excellent work bro.

[@rsxingaz]

Crazy, I had swift springs on my 1990 civic back in 96. Glad to see they’re still in business!

[@ahcgarage]

Agreed!!

[@jamesborek8125]

Glad I hunted down a set of Swifts for my GD3 Fit!

[@officialMainspring]

Honda should have released the car with white rims. Looks great! Good job guys!

[@k20aef8]

Looks good, altho I opted for the type r forged rims. The suspension is already great so I'm more focused on upgrading intercooler, then intake to downpipe will all be up graded. Waiting to hit 10k miles on mine before I tear it apart, it's at 7300 now and I've had it since Dec 12th..

[@ahcgarage]

Good choice! We should be doing those upgrades from PRL very soon as well

[@denttime]

Now that’s how you build a CLEAN type R.

[@Rodman8500]

The FL5 is just a gorgeous plattform,just like that wheels and suspension and is just perfect .good job guys!!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for tuning in

[@donsonbr]

If I ever bought one of these cars you are the only person I would let touch it. great work both of you!

[@gabaquino]

Painted wheel weights should look better

[@ahcgarage]

Agreed!!

[@ramonbriones4487]

They sell white ones and overall different colors, but at least painting them is a great option.

[@jcarr02a]

Definitely agreed! I just got some black wheels mounted on my new integra and they used black weights. I was surprised and impressed how well they don’t stick out like a sore thumb.

[@TheNacho1980]

Can you provide the part # for the shift boot ? Please 🙏!

[@Sleepr56]

Perfect OEM+ setup

[@ahcgarage]

Yes!!

[@overtherailing]

You can never go wrong with a classic set of TE37s. I'm not sure if that steering wheel is suede or Alcantara. Either way, a steering wheel like that is made to be driven with racing gloves on. The natural oils in your skin and any dirt/sweat will ruin it quickly.

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for the info!

[@mathieucossette9019]

this new Type R design is so sexy! and with Swift Springs... ! Swift Springs are in my opinion the summum in terms of quality.

[@ahcgarage]

Right on!!

[@jasperwoodcock1302]

Curious about rubbing with a + 38 offset and 265 tire after lowering an inch. I know spoon said there was rubbing after lowering an inch with + 38 offset and are recommending 40 plus. Did you guys experience any rubbing.

[@touringteg]

Two piece lug nuts to prevent scratches. Very nice.

[@SSANCHEZ1985]

the 2023 Type R looks waayyy better than the previous gen

[@killshot2534]

I wanna take a look at that CRX back their is it an 89’ Si. My older brother had the same one but with the black racing stripes that’s the car I learn how to drive manual transmission. Real fun car to drive.

[@ahcgarage]

We will have a full series on our Y49 Yellow CRX coming very soon

[@michaelgrefteter8712]

The car looks amazing great work guys

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks 👍

[@khuramsayeed8429]

Absolutely Sick and Beautiful! Very tastefully done, thank you for sharing.

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you kindly!

[@FranciscoGarcia-wc5mf]

Best FL5 out there

[@wiradhanni2205]

The rims just make it more perfect

[@brunostiglitz7535]

Good advice is to, ceramic coat the wheels a few coats before mounting the tires & also where are the working protecting fender guards

[@ahcgarage]

Good call!

[@aldwinramos7205]

As always ahc garage doing great. White on white is best combination ever any cars.. and te37 also good investment because this is best ever wheels from us in the philippines 🇵🇭

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers to you!!

[@scottiebwaaii2602]

What a restoration. Great job

[@steves4164]

That looks pheominal! I love white on white with Honda Type R's so classic.

[@ahcgarage]

100%. Very classic

[@alexlude.gt4rs]

@ahc garage what spec on the te37sl? +38 or +45?

[@monhkee]

@@alexlude.gt4rs +38 per the box

[@Daniel-xb3ot]

Looks great! But put some center caps on the TE37’s! Looks better more flush and no RUST!

White one white looks amazing on the FL!

[@ahcgarage]

Agreed!!

[@dialedmedia_]

I love this channel, and I'm so mad that I missed the AHC meet at Dezerland. I hope to go to the next one!

All i can say. There's nothing wrong in white. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@John.Azucena]

idk still havent grown on the the body style of the FK8 just stands out more, i think thats why i like it better.

[@ahcgarage]

They both have their unique features, but for us, the FL5 grew on us in person especially the interior

[@John.Azucena]

@@ahcgarage over all the car looks clean special the OG white on white set up on the type r, I have the same set up on my FK8 ChampionWhite with white te37 on swifts

[@Peke3842]

Great channel! Any link for the alcantara shift boot? Thanks

[@Justaeuropeanman]

Just finished paying off my 2022 Shelby Mustang GT500 and was thinking about getting the new 2023 mustang GT as a Daily but lately I have been wanting a 2023 civic type r they look so god dam clean 😍

[@ahcgarage]

This FL5 CTR will make a great daily driver for you

[@Justaeuropeanman]

@@ahcgarage yes it will but knowing myself as soon as I get my hands on it bolt ons, bigger turbo, tune, and boom now it’s not a daily anymore 😂

[@richarddelgado796]

If I could only find an FL5 without the crazy mark up of 15-20k over MSRP.

[@ahcgarage]

Hope you do, it’s an amazing car

[@mac-ff1hj]

Looks awesome nice job as always.

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@schwinn04]

Hopefully you'll cut that piece of the trunk mat that is now covering part of the sub, I had to cut mine for the perfect fit. Honda does that because not all markets got the sub.

[@ahcgarage]

We sure did. Thanks for tuning in

[@JohnnyTY]

Looking nice...she's a beauty 👍👍👍

[@kpkp2655]

Can never go wrong with the TE37's...... Classic. Do you guys know if there is any differences between JDM and USDM body parts (bumper covers, tail lights, etc)?

[@lbcitylacounty90810]

I have TE37SL on my EVO X //MR and CVC X //TR and Vors TR37 (replicas) on my SUV and VAN. LOve the 6 Spokes design! 💪

Unfortunately we don’t

[@kunfushion4027]

[@ahcgarage]

No rubbing at all

[@raynaldfernandez1436]

Man the FL5 looks incredible.

[@ahcgarage]

We love it

[@kingbiggs23]

What’s Up Guys FL5 and RDX owner…. Great videos as always … wondering any rubbing issues ? … with TE’s you can’t go wrong such a clean wheel…. I am currently looking to do the same set up just in a red wheel and then possibly flip the Caliper color to champ white to make them pop thru wheel…but I am not mad at this look AT ALL as always I am watching and waiting for more videos on both of my platforms …..and I plan on upgrading the turbo on the RDX…..

[@ahcgarage]

No rubbing issue at all. Those are very good setup

[@kingbiggs23]

Do you guys have an email …. I wanna send you some pics of both vehicles with current set up & after when I do the wheels in a few weeks on both of them

Hi Mike. I like all the Custom items. This type R has been in my bucket list. Hoping to have one in my garage.

[@jeremys6631]

Did you need to swap the brackets for the alcantara shift boot?

[@christopherclark6383]

The white rims should be an OPTION FROM HONDA. The car looks SuperBad and I would buy it

[@ahcgarage]

We agreed!!

Next time, align the yellow dots on the tyres with the valve stem. This way you need even less counterweight!

[@jermainewilliam3819]

That white on white is sexy! Excellent choice!

[@ahcgarage]

Couldn’t agree more

[@adim00lah]

I wish the fl5 came with 18's. I think the 19 inch wheels is what causes all the rattles in the type r interior because my 22 si had no rattles unlike my fl5.

[@ahcgarage]

We have no rattles with our FL5 on both 19” and 18”

[@adim00lah]

@@ahcgarage A lot of other people do tho. It could be the rims, or maybe some people just get a rattly one, not sure.

Hey, guys first time watching your channel very impressed. Is there any way you can do a video on the sport touring hatchback pearl white upgrades? Maybe make it look like the "Type R" add a little bit of horsepower to the 180Hp Engine. Looking forward to seeing this 💯

Thanks for watching. Very soon.

Im also an owner of the fl5 and I wanted to know when you change the wheels do you still gives you the readings for the tpms also when you put the lowering springs does it affect the car when you change modes ?

[@ahcgarage]

FL5 has an indirect TPMS Sensor where it doesn’t equipped with TPMS Sensor. So replacing wheels do not affect the system. The only you might have to do is to recalibrate the system at the center screen. Replacing with lowering springs do not affect the ADS system either
