@Cameron Hill You can see the paint quality off the bat - the 2017 Rs have orange peel from the factory- especially the black and SGP colors. The engines are made in Ohio so both plants just plop them in the car on the line. Swindon was responsible for the hatchbacks and Type Rs so when you see the paint quality on them you'll immediately tell the difference between them and the FL5 finish.

Crystal Black Pearl #00711 here! It’s a lot of fun and it’s definitely a mix of FD2 and EK9 in terms of looks. The FK8 was an evolution of the the FK2 and FN2. I can guarantee that it is a very rigid ride on rougher roads. These roads you guys are on are beautiful for the FL5 in comparison. Enjoy it! This is as close to a 90s JDM feel with modern tech we’ll get!

Ok so the side vents are there to relieve the normally high air pressure that gets built up in the front wheel well area which creates lift on the front end of the vehicle. Particularly important in this application as there are front air dams in the bumper which channels air from the front to cool the front brakes (it channels it behind the front wheels/brakes). So the side vents help maintain a steady flow of air into the front wheel well for cooling then expel it back out through the side vents. Interestingly what some people call "fake vents" on the sides of the front bumper, which the front black splitter flows into, are actually aero-kick-outs. The kick-outs send air around the front wheels/wheel wells in a smooth laminal flow, so that air doesn't get sucked into the wheel wells and interrupt the brake cooling flow from the front air dams, or increase air pressure in the wheel wells. So all the aero is designed to work together in tandem to keep the car stable, keep it cool, and keep the nose down. Also the front hood scoop is an air extractor, air that flows in through the front grill and goes through the radiator is then expelled out of the heat extractor, lowering the overall temperature in the engine bay by expelling hot air, and also not allowing high pressure build up which increases lift on the front end. So it helps cool the engine, and lowers pressure in the engine bay which decreases lift of the front end.

I think there are three key differences to switch from Fk8. 1: more premium interior 2: more conservative stylying 3: improved cooling. I think if you track your car its definitely worth the upgrade. But the other two reasons are subjective

I personally wouldn’t buy a type R over MSRP with 500 miles on it especially knowing those are some hard pressed miles on the car without properly being broken in yet but that’s just how I feel. I’ll be more interested in seeing the Integra Type S this summer. As a former STi owner, I just can’t do those big wings anymore so the Type S will be more my style.

I believe a lot of the upgrades you’re experiencing are not from fk8 r to fl5 r but from one generation standard civic to another. This platform has been a major push to up the premium feel from the last gen. Of course adding type r upgrades not to mention every single exterior panels excluding front doors and roof adds up to price increase from the fk8. I am waiting on mine at msrp. Took me 60+ emails and calls to every dealerships around me but it is doable. Most likely I would get one after fl5 refresh

I bought an FL5 a little over a month ago. Paid a 7k markup but got it in the exact color i wanted. I was very torn between the boost blue, sonic grey pearl and red prior to purchasing. ultimately decided on red as its the rarest color of the 5. boost blue and white are by FAR the most produced color on the FL5's and i didnt want that. This car is absolutely worth every penny. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Never selling this thing.

I have always been a muscle car guy, I have only owned Camaros (I leased a Cobalt SS while I waited for the 5th gen Camaros to come out), but I have always liked the Civic Si/SiR etc. When they showed this car off before (the base model), I was pretty disappointed with the styling... But I CAN'T stress this enough. This car looks FAR better in person than in any of the media when they revealed it. You did a great job showing this car at great angles, and I think this car looks outstanding. As soon as I saw these cars on the road (even the base models) I was just like... oh, ok this thing actually looks really great. I'm really impressed with this Type R, and I hope they do something with the Integra to get it on par with this, because... I'm a bit disappointed in that... however, I have yet to see one on the street, so that may change. And to be fair, my first car was a 95 Camaro Z28, and I always felt like that car didn't look great in photos, but when you were next to it, it was gorgeous. I think it's the headlights. They look like they kind of don't match the car somehow, but it looks great in real life. It's hard to explain, so hopefully you understand what I mean, lol. Great video, really enjoyed it.

Also the sidewall of the tires on the FL5 is larger than on the stock FK8. I don't think the guy understands how tire sizing works. The 30 in 265/30 is the ratio of sidewall to tire width and not the actual measurement. Basically the size of the sidewall is a percentage of the overall tire width. So a 245/30 tire would have a sidewall of 73.5 mm (245 x 0.30), while a 265/30 would have a sidewall of 79.5 mm (265 x 0.30).

augh i'm in the market for a new car.. i really like the FL5 but its hard to justify the price. in regards to the ride comfort, the FL5 does that thing where it'll "detect" spirited driving and raise the dampening, even if you're in comfort mode. so i think people are just locking the dampers into the soft setting

I miss my 9th gen Too. But I drove My friends fk8 the other day with acuity shifter and it was extremely tight and nice feeling. Not that I dislike the shifter in the fl5 but that acuity sure was a nice upgrade. But I actually liked the way the clutch pedal felt and the way it shifts in the fk8 over my fl5. Not sure why that is, I figured that aspect would be very similar. My pedal feels lighter and and long travel and it’s hard to time the shifts into second but in the fk8 it was effortless.

You can put those same size tires on your FK8 Cameron. I had that size along with some Titan 7s thanks to Michael Baxi’s recommendation. No rubbing issues at all!

My hot take, the new type R looks like a Japanese Charger. I really liked the 10th gen R but the new one I'm having a hard time liking it. Plus mark ups I can't get behind it .....

The brake calipers and rotors are the same as the refreshed FK8, however I believe they went with a different setup for the brake master cylinder. So they'll feel a bit different in application. They bite a bit sooner and quicker.

@@DynamiteDB Yeah...I remember when I first got in at the dealer to drive mine home, my foot wasn't used to the setup yet, and there were definitely more than a couple of brake check style starts and fits on the way home. 😅 Now that I've gotten used to it, I love how quick, responsive, and strong the brakes are.

Hey Cameron, so question, are you thinking of trading for the FL5? I had an 18' FK8 Type R with some mods. It was pushing about 380 whp. it was a very fun car but i sold it and got a 21' ZL1 1LE Camaro. Im looking into the new Integra Type S. My buddy works at my local Acura dealer and i can grab one at MSRP! What are your thoughts on the Integra versus the new FL5? Im kinda liking the look of the Integra a little more myself.

You should know the side Vents behind the wheels on the FK8 were Fake Vents same as the front ones on the Bumper. FL5 ones were Real Vents.

If I were to pick between your fk8 and the fl5, I rather go with your fk8. It's more aggressive. The fl5 is too simple of a look. Of course that's just me. Yours look way better. That's why I got myself an 2023 Hyundai Elantra N 6 spd manual.

@@Camhill182 only if you were in cali lol the pops are insane yo. I love my EN. There's ups and downs about Hyundai on their vehicle warranty. What I've heard so far from EN owners is that they don't own up to what they say they'll cover for 10 years or 10k if the engine was to take a dump. Check engine on some EN models especially DCT. Owners was selling it because of that. I was iffy on getting it because of that but idk I liked it too much that I just hope I don't get any issues on mines. To this day, no issues yet. I baby it tbh lol although it's a performance car. 🤞 Other than that, yes, its a great car.

Get yourself some Carpro Fabric 2.0. It'll add a protective coating to your seats, armrests, carpets etc. It's super hydrophobic, and resists stains and spills, while still letting the fabric breath. It'll also make it easier to clean. It's basically like a Ceramic coating except for Fabric.

As a content creator I think you pretty much have to buy one Cam (go where the clicks are), but for everyone else if you already own an FK8 it's a tough call. Between ADM, low volume and high APR's you really got to WANT this car to purchase one right now. I love both cars, but I can wait for a couple years to upgrade and see what the refresh brings.
