      ​@@ellwoodwolf Nah, the +R mode is Honda engineers looking for that slight better lap time without getting new parts. They cranked up the damping to act like artificial springs as they're the same springs from the FK8. The excessive damping slows down the body roll in a turn so it's good for quick transitions, but packs up the damper in hits or long sweepers. Wish Honda just spent the extra $250 per car and just changed the spring to match what they're trying to do but the car was already expensive already. But as a Type R solution the Type S Integra uses the exact same hardware but is tuned differently, and can swap the suspension control module.

      @@ellwoodwolf honestly hard suspension doesn't mean fast just like that. it needs to be soft enough to absorb the unevenness of the ground and hard enough to not give out under the loads when turning/breaking and accelerating, and translate the weight to the tires and utalize more of the available grip. having stiff suspension only impresses people who don't know anything about suspension.

    As a FK8 owner, I heavily discourage you to get a FK8/FL5 to be your daily + weekend racer.
    The cooling issues Ben talked about, are not fixed by simple solutions like a different radiator. Be prepared to sink over $5,000 in mods and time into the platform, just to be able to go a few more laps.
    There are many owners, who get real with the issue and tell you not to get one, if you want to race them.
    The overheating issues are not due to a small radiator or something like that- the engine bays are simply too cramped for the turbocharged K20C1.
    Mind you, it's pushing 320+ HP from a 2 liter, so it's the turbo doing the heavy lifting. If you put that hot turbo AND CAT UNDER the intake charge pipes and IN BETWEEN the engine and the heat exchangers, you WILL get heat soak.
    A bigger radiator will only worsen this issue, because now you decreased the airflow to the engine bay to cool other components.
    Like I said, it's not an easy "slap some mods and call it a day" problem. This is a "this platform is silly" kind of problem.
    You need at least a engine hood with major cooling vents, at least one external oil cooler (2 is better...) another front mask with bigger opening for airflow, wrap on the intake charge pipe (no turbo or exhaust blanket- you need the airflow to cool it) and CAT delete to make a real difference.
    Guys, I'm not hating on the Type R- it is the best (stock) FWD sports car for the street. When I got mine, I was laughing in joy, all the way back home, carving through the country roads. But it is not for the track- as is. I don't consider a car, that can only do 5 laps, before it goes into limp mode a "track car".
    There are many cars, that you can slap a bigger radiator, oil cooler on and prop the hood in the rear and have fun all day. This ain't it.

      The more and more EPA and safety regulations that are required, the more modules will be needed. And as the last person said as well, the more comfort functions that are wanted by consumers, the more engineers will have to add more modules to have everything communicate with each other because if you live your seat the airbag modules will have to know how much to deploy.

    17:36 - The poor guy needed goddamn iHDS to fix this issue. For the uninitiated, that's Honda's factory scan tool software. This is the stuff that scares me about modern cars because most independent shops are not going to go through that level of trouble.
    They will send you to the dealer, and I wouldn't blame them either. It means you're likely at the mercy of your local dealer if your car is plagued with warning lights. Hell, just changing the 12V battery on a 2024 Accord triggered a ridiculous amount of warning lights that I had to clear with iHDS.

    The “annoying offset bolts” is the superior way to adjust camber. Reason is that it maintains the same length of the arms on both sides of the car. If you only adjust those turn buckles, it will make the arms different lengths each side, which can lead to unpredictable differences in left vs right turn handling properties. Use the turn buckles for the “gross” adjustment, to get it in the ballpark of where you need the camber. But make sure they’re the same length on both sides. Then use the factory eccentric bolts to dial it in and equalize the camber on both sides of the car.

    Did you guys consider trying the Integra Type-S damper control module? I swapped one into my own FL5 TypeR and it made the car slightly softer for street driving. It was inexpensive and easy to swap in.

    My (personal) opinion on ride height is simple: if you can't get your lift arms under the car, it's too low. If you can barely squeak it under by grabbing the fender and giving it some help, it's the perfect height.

    Single radiator on a car is a no-no. Upgrade with a dual radiator fan system asap, helps with cooling in car jams and on highspeed or high pressure temperatures on the car...

      @ShaiyanHossain I would love to daily a Type R. But, if I could afford that car it would be in the garage while I do a comment in a old beater. I daily drove a '97 Integra GSR and a 2009 Civic Si 4 door (HFP suspension). I wished I would have kept them both, especially the Si. So at my age, a Type R would be saved.

    Probably in the minority here but the blue Advans look fantastic. Might be my boomer early to mid-aughts bias, but when the Magnesium TE/CE’s came out everyone freaked tf out, myself included. Either way, car looks fantastic! Was skeptical at first since it’s effectively the best factory-tuned FWD car of all time, but you guys did in fact improve it lol.

    I would have gone with an adjustable KW V3 suspension which also retains the divorce setup at the rear. That way you can get a softer ride for the street and a firmer ride at the track with just dialing some clicks for bump and rebound. And you can also alter the ride height of course. If you like it a bit more hardcore there is also a "Clubsport" version of this suspension.
