I BUY A 2023 Civic Type R - FL5

[@findtherightbeat]

0:59 You and George should go for a drive with those shirts in the FL5! Great intro with Esther driving the S2000 too! Happy birthday George!

[@misterboost4446]

Yes!!! I’ve been hoping LHT would get their hands on an FL5! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it.

[@HDNBenjamin]

this CTR is absolutely stunning

[@rickeybradley2635]

Have the same color FL5. Glad to see a fellow Type R owner, congrats. Looking forward to the spoiler coming back. Thinking about color matching mine but want to see what it looks like.

[@tmango78]

Nice! Looking forward to watching what you do with it!

[@ghc_gto_6.0]

Lookin forward to the type R build journey!!!

YES YES YES!!!!!

[@chilivanye670]

Super excited to see what you have in store for the FL5. Congrats

[@caseyrenner2061]

Happy birthday George

[@darth420vader]

Love your videos. This last weekend I heard a rattle from under the hood. I was diagnosing and remembered an old video about the tensioner and idler pulley bearings going bad. Turns out the tensioner bearing is the culprit. It wobbles and keeps spinning. I just ordered two bearings from you. I wanted to say thanks. Your videos have literally saved me hundreds, if not a few thousand!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks for that , it’s great to hear these stories. We’re a business, but care out car people.

[@NoComp600]

Congratulations on your new purchase John! can’t wait to see more content on this car 🙌

[@AlwaysApproved]

im so excited for the lht innovations! lets go!!!

[@bamboosho0t]

Way to go, guys!!

[@johnss2k434]

Nice choice! Looks good in blue

[@JohnathonMyers]

I'm ecstatic to see all the detail/LHT TLC that goes into this build!!! #HawaiiViewer #10thGenAccord20Towner #CTRsBrother

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks my friend. Glad to share some LHT touch on it.

[@S2kalvinh]

Can’t wait to see what you guys do with this! 🤙🏽And Happy Birthday George! 🥳

[@HybridRnnr]

I also have a boost blue FL5, and I just got my spoiler painted in boost blue this past week. Massive difference. Highly recommend. Wasn’t a fan of the black, either.

[@LHTPerformance]

I wanted to paint it the first day I saw one. Glad it looks better. Mine should be ready soon.

[@Wizard-kk4lz]

In the words of Max Verstappen: simply lovely! Gratz, enjoy!

[@user-A-A-RON]

Wonder what the stealership markup was. I like the color.

[@LHTPerformance]

I got a very good price. I never discuss pricing unless it’s during a sale.

[@jayAutoBeat4.0]

[@MD82321]

Happy Bday George! Enjoy your new car John, but don’t forget the S2K content. Sad that there are no more coupes.

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep. No more 2 doors 😞

[@80six30]

Congratulations John , I can’t wait for the up upcoming FL5 content. The scariest part of the video was that you parked your brand new CTR in the carpark of the paint shop 🫣🫣 my OCD levels were going into meltdown . Happy birthday to George 🎉🎂🎁

[@LHTPerformance]

The good part is, this body shop is used to high end cars used being careful . Worst case, they’ll fix it like it never happened.

[@prm5798]

Congratulations, I wish you would have gotten a FK8 and did the oem + LHT mods to it when it came out. I agree the painted spoiler looks better

[@LHTPerformance]

The FK8 didn’t appeal to me, it’s little too extreme for my 50 year old taste. Lol.

[@prm5798]

@@LHTPerformance we are close in age!

[@LHTPerformance]

@@prm5798 I like the FK8 in white. The fl5 in white is a little boring.

[@prm5798]

@@LHTPerformance I have a black FK8, makes everything blend in. Looks less aggressive

[@LHTPerformance]

@@prm5798 Yes, I agree.

[@dxcheong]

I love the spoiler. Blows away the FK8 one.

[@LHTPerformance]

I’d like to put two in a blender and see what a 50/50 mix would look like 🤔

[@raymondreiff8170]

Absolutely 🇺🇸👍

[@RjctdEK]

Definitely looks better thsn the last i almost get EK/Ej coupe vibes from it , the previous one grew onto me after a while but its too much, I still appreciate it I agree the wing should have been paint matched. The integra type s looks amazing too specially with the optional rear duck bill spoiler

[@newhirunworn1]

Excited for it!

[@TheMick26]

Hey John.🖐 First off, Happy Mother's Day Shoutout to the lovely Esther.😊 Congratulations on the new Type R!💙 Beautiful car and I agree with you 100% on the rear spoiler. I've been waiting to see someone do a color-match. I think it'll look much better that way. Looking forward to seeing all the LHT TLC that goes into this Civic. Hope y’all enjoyed your cruise and also hope George enjoyed his birthday week off. Take care and have a great day!

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks Mick. I’m excited to play with the civic and take it to track . The cruise was just a short get away but much needed.

[@ozman1975]

Congrats guys 👍🏼 Cool car, can't wait to see all the goodies that your going to add!

[@sammyjones6828]

I can’t wait to see the developments with this car! Such a beautiful color

[@jokisensimo]

Great purchase! Draft dual tip exhaust or even Murcielago type of boxy tip instead of weird three ones.

[@Rob.Coleman]

At least you don't have to change the seatbelts 😄. Good choice, can't wait to see what you do with it 👍👍.

[@LHTPerformance]

Yeeessss! I love red belts 👍🏻

[@philipbennick3405]

I put a deposit on mine back in August at my local dealer. They say it's still about a year out. Unfortunately they only send us one or two a year.

[@LHTPerformance]

The high volume dealers only get 4 allocations right now. Hopefully it will increase with Honda seeing how well the car is accepted.

[@orland3376]

Both are amazing 2021 for me ❤ congratulations 🎉

[@BLUEXENONS]

Super happy for you and the shop John! Love this new gen civic and of course , that’s the best color on offer 😅 Is it a 3 stage paint or just a 2 state paint with the Pearl flakes in the base coat? Planning on painting my S that boost blue very very soon. Looking forward to all the videos on this!

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m not sure. I’m thinking it’s 3 stage.

[@UKRYTA_wiewiorka]

Probably the best colour choice.

[@dancarlos1216]

My bother has an FL5 just like yours, I’m sure he would buy most of your parts if you make any

[@c5crx1]

I think the rear spoiler would look better if you made some lower mounts and pushed it back a little farther. Could get real crazy and make them from titanium….

[@LHTPerformance]

🤔. Good idea.

[@kalmtraveler]

can't wait to see the build on this one - I'd been debating picking this or a Type S up! also happy belated birthday George!

[@Chorizomicks]

How much was the mark up?

[@daneaustin2468]

Congratulations LHT!

[@supay6537]

Super excited for you! Too bad you don’t do work on BRZ 😢

[@LHTPerformance]

We have done work on them. But Hondas keep us busy and that’s our first passion.

[@robertpearce8822]

Can't wait to see your mods on the Type R! John I've got a Lotus Elan with a Isuzu 1.6 turbo 170hp could you possibly chip my Lotus oh also short shifter?? Thanks

[@Qghostz]

OMG 😲 👍 can’t wait to see your next video

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

I hope you produce parts and guides on this so I can implement on the Fk8.

[@danny30canes]

Sick man congrats

[@jimguimond6811]

Beautiful car John, I definitely like it more than the previous gen. I hope you didn’t have to pay a crazy mark up.

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks, No crazy mark up.

[@bvward]

John, colour is close to "French Racing Blue" livery... Hope you don't develop a taste for escargot☺ Good luck with this one! Will you be V-banding the new exhaust?

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks Barney, I’m looking forward to messing with it. It will be V band.

[@duck8280]

Congrats! Boost blue is the best!

[@10thFTW]

Congrats J!

[@natemeanor4247]

Congrats!! I love the way the FL5 looks! LED rear turn signal on the list? 🤔

[@bj10jgo]

How much mark up did you pay??

[@garage79r]

Congratulations I am jealous

[@brandonfaulkner70]

That color is amazing

[@Thechriskraft]

Let’s see the comparison of the FA5 to the FL5.

[@fidelj3025]

Did you notice that the Boost Blue on the FL5 is a lot more vibrant than the Boot Blue on the FK8?

[@LHTPerformance]

I don’t thinks it’s different. The fk8 in the show room versus the over cast it’s hard to tell.

[@fidelj3025]

@LHT Performance when you get the chance to see both in daylight the FL5 is a bit more vibrant. I had my BB FL5 next to a BB FK8 at the Honda meet and it's apparent lol

[@LHTPerformance]

@@fidelj3025 That’s interesting. I assumed they were the same color. I have a couple of friends with BB FL8s.

[@fidelj3025]

@LHT Performance it is the same color down to the code but I think Honda uses a different clear coat with pearl

[@fidelj3025]

@LHT Performance from what i also saw it's more noticeable with Ralley Red from both generations

[@mechanix6191]

That color 😍😍😍

[@RjctdEK]

Congratulations 🎊 😅

[@FronkG]

congrats!

[@orland3376]

Absolutely the black rear spoiler just disappear

[@LHTPerformance]

It does. Birds fly in to it. Lol.

[@akiraproject2424]

what hardware is that you used on the plate? Checking site now to see if its something you sell

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m not sure what hardware you’re asking about , oh. Sorry. There our dress up bolts. We’re waiting for more to come back in the store.

[@Lennyfg2]

Exactly!!

[@MD82321]

Will the seats swap into an AP2?

[@LHTPerformance]

I don’t know. It might be too wide.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

How much did you overpay though?

[@LHTPerformance]

Who said I over paid 😉

[@ravenstylea2]

So giddy

[@bryanwelch6209]

I miss the days when the everyman could afford a good Honda k20. Those days are gone.

Any exhaust with valves needs to go in the trash asap.

[@LHTPerformance]

Ferrari, Corvette, jaguar, Mercedes, Porsche, Acura, Honda , Audi , VW all use exhaust valves. It’s often a way to get by sound restrictions and keep gasoline engine from upsetting people.
