    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.

      ​@@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.

      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.

    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.

      Did you register the battery replacement? Some cars have ibs (intelligent battery sensors) on them and if you don't reset it it can sometimes throw codes or over charge the battery. So I'd check that if it's not that then just check the terminals make sure they're tight and clean of corrosion.

    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.

    Just change the ADM module to the Integra S and save a ton of money. Plug and play and less than $300. Totally different car. No more hopping on track bumps. I changed it at 200 miles as I hated it. Just try it. Night and day. The car has no idea it’s in there other than suspension softer. All modes work as they should. No codes. I had a factory software fix that requires hot then cold loads. Car didn’t care. It is so good with the S module it’s hard to explain. Just change it and be done with it.

    Step two, fit sport cat (More flow better flow.)
    Step three, adjustable suspension, the end result of which was actually softer than factory.
    Step four, tires and brakes.
    Step five, a slightly reduced sized rear muffler because it sounded like a depressed vacuum cleaner.
    Step six, stop because anywhere from here is going into power gains and body modifications that get expensive fast.

      Nah, they didn't change the ADS module. One of their main sponsors is Fortune Auto and why that's the only coilovers they put in their cars. I'm not convinced though going to a true coilover in the rear is the best idea especially seeing their still messing with the top hat design to spread even more load so it doesn't punch out the body. And part of it is they wanted to lower the car anyway.

Most of the European suspension companies products will likely be better in terms of damping geared toward ride quality if available.

    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.
