I prefer the styling of the fl5 th fk8 is still cool but I prefer the more subdued look

Damn idk how I missed this?! Edit will commence after I watch this. I’m actually committed for this unless you say otherwise I agree with what you said. Idk the K20C1 bust at 400, thought it was 500. Either way I want to get it as an investment, passion, and just want a reliable car from factory. Like you, I’d rather have a chill quick DD and a project fun car then race car. Btw I tuned the pistons con rod setup I bought from you Chris. Made 617WHP and 508WTQ on 20lbs. My red DC5 was 688WHP 527WTQ. I much rather tune than wrench but the fact I did it myself is a feat! With the FL5 I just want a simple, clean, and if I want to, tune the stock setup as is just to further enjoy the car. I love the mature Lofi look of it. I adore the Hifi look of FK8 too! As always good vid mah man

Ima touch on the k20c again soon

[@GTOutdoors]

Still just waiting to see what they do with the integra type s. 😔

[@VHBEngines]

They need to give it the fk8 treatment. Go balls out

It’s not weak! 500whp is a safe norm now. The early rod failures were just growing pains from tuners learning the platform now it’s dialed in and failures are few and far between now. I have 47k on it and it’s been tuned/modded for 40k miles with 0 issues

Fellow builder friend of mine just built another one that had catastrophic failure from bolt ons and tune. Block shattered and head chewed up. This thing costs too much for me to risk it or encourage anyone else to 😁

I liked it more when it had the camo on. Now that we see it in paint it is too plain for me.

[@VHBEngines]

Understandable

[@VHBEngines]

It's called a Hot Hatch....why would you hate on it being flamboyant? 👀🤷‍♂️
