First Drive: Spoon Sports FL5 Civic Type R on Buttonwillow Raceway

[@constructiveruckus86]

Love seeing that final drive change in action!

[@latuba2478]

Is it taller or shorter I didn’t know there was a change

[@constructiveruckus86]

@@latuba2478 it's taller, i.e. smaller number. Helps with less shifting and the theory/conspiracy is it's basically the accords finale drive.

[@ColeTrickle_51]

Thx for coming through with benchmarking at BW! Really puts into perspective just how really great this car is.

[@504yaj]

The FL5 looked good on track, looks wicked with the wider track and body!

[@xordinarystudio9403]

can't wait for mine to come in

You can absolutely disable VSA and traction control while being in other modes other than R mode. It requires you to do a specific pedal dance like in the 10th gen civics...which will completely disable all the nanny tech. Unfortunately you have to do it everytime you start the car. But bottom line is you can have all the nanny tech disabled, put the suspension in Comfort (or Sport) and have everything else in R mode.

Excellent camera view while driving. l felt like I was the passenger! Nice driving too 🙌🏿

[@EDGEDAZZA]

Great track. So fast

[@wastesports]

Nice wheels!

[@itzbensolo]

Be happy to finance one w/o the INSANE mark-up.

The new Titan7's 5 spokes are awesome. If KW and Spoon are going to co-brand or private label, it would be cool if the purple anodized parts were Spoon blue with the existing yellow.

[@itzzkittens3198]

I need a Spoon firesuit made in my size too

[@bryantpck8]

Why didn't u customize a individual mode first before those mods? I feel doing that will set a fairer baseline before mods.

左ハンドルのFL5！コースも見渡しがよくて気持ち良さそうですねー！わたし、吉原さんこと最近知りました。英語の発音がいいので日系の車好きの方かと。。大変失礼しました！

[@MarkJCarruthers]

Did they do an alignment in the garage after the suspension change? Also, curious is brake fluid was changed?

[@drimmer]

Can you add the wheel and tyre specs? Looked great fitment and wondering if went with wider tyre than stock?

[@TerryHeick]

So the bounce is gone?

[@sky-xt8xn]

Where can i buy the apr front splitter that you used for you’re brz?

[@DaiYoshihara]

Ask APR!

[@MrOchoaone]

I HAVE TO KNOW...................where did you get that hat? its sick and I can't find it anywhere lol. Please tell me Dai 😂😂😂

[@DaiYoshihara]

The Evasive x DAI. hat has sold out already. And I got the grey Yokohama hat from Yokohama tire. I just checked their site but they don't sell it anymore... Sorry!

[@MrOchoaone]

Man, thanks for checking brother.

[@KORTOKtheSTRONG]

neat

[@psewgobind]

Like the Si, probably better without the adjustable suspension.

[@wbwayne8887]

A $76K Civic shouldn't have those kind of stock suspension issues.

[@latuba2478]

So if you would please wrap your head around this. This outgoing model was born and raised to best Suzuka. Where it broke the FWD record. A track like that is perfectly paved and fit for the Type Rs R+ mode. Hell I’ve seen many cars that deal with these same “stock suspension” issues on coils. It’s about the damping and rebound setup. Also the car is technically 44k.

[@parksed24]

Whoever pays $76k for one of these deserves to learn some hard lessons 😂

[@wbwayne8887]

@@parksed24 I know, right.

[@VxO4fame]

@@latuba2478 the car is freaking adaptive damping like most modern sport cars nowdays .....

[@SonikDethmonkey]

@@latuba2478exactly. The engineers stated that the stock setup in +R is essentially intended to handle the cornering loads of a race compound tire. If you’re on a treaded 200 wear tire the comfort mode is perfect.

[@giorgosk2884]

So 5k++ for 1.6 sec..Not bad lol

[@jaredgutierrez6163]

Lol

[@KevNotFit]

all of that does not sound like 5k lmao

[@richardestrella795]

No power bump just like my new si Honda is pathetic 😂 also you can’t get a 2.0 accord anymore just 1.5t for everything 🎉 hell I’m gonna trade this in for the Elantra n

[@trustalign]

Wierd test with so many changes done at once. Should really just try one thing at a time to allow a proper evaluation of each change

[@haveaseatplease]

this video seems to be nothing more then a plug for KW and spoon parts

[@billymania11]

Too expensive.

Excellent content!! Wow, you need to research Promo'SM!
