Hello from Illinois! I have an FL5 as well. Your car looks great! I just ordered the OEM carbon wing like your car has. I think its one of my favorites. The original wing is a little dull, and I think the factory carbon wing looks a bit more aggressive without being over the top like a big GT wing. Other than the wing, it's hard to find a complaint. Maybe someday in the future I'd like a Spoon or Tomei exhaust. I am also tempted to try swapping the adaptive damper module from the Integra Type S for a bit more comfort on long trips. Thanks for the subtitles, friend!
Thank you for your comment! It’s great to hear from an FL5 owner in Illinois. You’re absolutely right-the OEM carbon wing is subtly aggressive and looks amazing without being too flashy! I especially love how the end plates look through the side mirrors while driving. I haven’t heard of anyone in Japan trying the Type S damper module yet. If you decide to give it a shot, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’m planning to attend the Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 next year, so I’ll do my best to capture as much footage of FL5-related parts as possible and share it. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, let me know!
I have seen a few people do the damper module from the Integra especially where there are rough roads, since the system is identical between the Integra and Type R. It isn't that expensive of a part versus getting a whole new suspension setup. From what I've been told it makes +R feel like the sport setting and the sport setting feel like comfort, and the comfort is softer than the existing comfort. I've seen some people say the suspension is too hard but while it might be a bit stiff on a rough road it isn't uncomfortable. My family gets car sick easy and the Type R does good a lot better than some cars not making them feel ill in the car. Can't wait to see your video from auto salon this year! It's great to see all the new parts from the famous aftermarket companies come out. It's nice to have a car that is so well supported in the aftermarket; it almost gets hard to choose parts!
@@YellowjacketSA Thank you for the detailed info about the Integra’s damper module! It sounds like a great option for improving passenger comfort. That said, I really enjoy driving alone early in the morning on winding mountain roads in +R mode, so I think the stock Type R setup works well for me. And yes, the sheer number of aftermarket parts for the FL5 is incredible-it’s part of what makes owning this car so much fun. I’m sure even more options will pop up in the future. Let’s keep exchanging ideas and enjoying everything this car has to offer!
Thanks again for the English subs! I was surprised J'S store is so big. I too wanted to see the FL5 demo car and would be happy if you could go back another time. As for aftermarket parts, I am interested in Spoon springs and Mugen hood.
Thanks for your comment! The J'S store was new and big, I was surprised too, and I was happy to see the NSX-R! I too would like to equip my car with SPOON springs as long as I don't have any road clearance issues. I am also interested in the MUGEN hood but it is too expensive to buy😂
great video! thanks. so many aftermarket options to choose from. very lucky. Varis kit is nice, blitz exhaust pipes look great. spoon car looks good, i hope to travel to japan again soon. ありがとうございます
Thanks for watching too! Yes, we are very lucky to have so many choices and to be able to see the demo cars in person. I am also interested in the Barris kit, the carbon parts matched without feeling uncomfortable as if it were stock. ありがとうございます😄
Hello from Singapore. Loved your video, especially its from a real owner of the car. Love to share notes as i will be receiving my FL5 from Japan soon. It will be replacing my FK8. Last year, i rented a FL5 from Omoshiro, and it was amazing. More comfortable than the FK8😅
Thanks for your very nice comment from Singapore! Wow, congrats on your FL5 arriving soon!🎉 The FK8 is a great car, but I think the FL5 has a better engine feel when revved to higher RPMs. I'm looking forward to seeing your customization as there are a lot of aftermarket parts available now 😊
I saw the first 3", but then I stopped because I want to enjoy it calmly tonight, on the big TV at home! My friend, lucky you who live in Japan...❤. as always excellent content. see you soon! 👋
Thanks for your comment! Japan is really lucky to have so many tuning stores that deal with CTR. I am more than happy that you, a FL5 owner in the same parenting situation, can watch my video😁
Thanks for the comment! I just looked it up online and it says, "Removing the airbag itself is not illegal, so it can be replaced." Yes, the Mugen package was great! Personally, I wanted the Carbon Aero Fenders.
Greetings from Canada! I am actually a DE5 owner, but it's very interesting to see what mechanical aftermarket parts are available. Have you asked Spoon for Hondata ECU tuning as a comparison to J's racing? It is a very popular ECU tuning option in North America.
Thanks for your comment from Canada! The DE5 is great, I like the rear design, although I've never seen one in person as they are not sold in Japan. I have not requested a quote for Hondata's ECU, but I believe the price in Japan is about the same as J's racing and the performance is about the same. Personally, I've been waiting for the SEEKER ECU for a long time as it's my main choice, but it's not on sale yet.
@@FromCivicWindow btw, any of these modification will likely get the car towed away by cops as it’s illegal…. ( it’s illegal even u only have an after market exhaust here..)🤦😂
Thanks for the comment! I love the design of the front lip on that demo car, which reminds me of the front lip that SPOON had on the Integra (DC2). I heard from SPOON staff last year that they are planning to sell it in carbon, but I hope they will also sell it in FRP gloss black.
実は、日本の外からあなたの動画全編を楽しんで見ました。私たちはずっとホンダの車、特にシビックを家族で運転してきました。非常に信頼性が高く、ほぼ毎日乗っています。セカンドカーとして「楽しい」車を選ぶなら、もうシビックには戻らないと思いますが、FL5に対する関心や熱意を見て、多くの人々が新しい車にどんな改善を加えられるかを楽しんでいるのを感じました。
多くのパーツを取り入れすぎることは簡単だと思いますが、スプーンはインテリアやエンジンのカスタマイズがしやすく、素晴らしい出発点だと思います。彼らのフロントスプリッターやサイドスカートは、エレガントでありながら控えめで良いですね。もしカスタムフロントボンネットを選ぶなら、エアダクト付きの同色（または塗装）のものを選んでみてはどうでしょうか？ワイドフェンダーもかっこいいですが、この車に足りないのは熱シールドで、熱がこもりやすくなってしまいます。したがって、インタークーラーやラジエーターを改善することで、大きな効果が得られると思います。エキゾーストについては、HKSのチタニウム製はどうでしょうか？スプーンスポーツのクレーンリアウイングは、攻撃的すぎずとても良いと思います。
コメントありがとうございます！このニッチなチャンネルを見てもらい、本当に参考になるアドバイスもいただけて、とても嬉しいです。
実は私もカスタムフロントボンネットを選ぶなら、エアダクト付きの同色にしたいと考えていたので提案に同意します。エキゾーストについては、色んなチューニングショップのデモカー巡りをして、実際の音を確認してから選びたいと考えています。お互いにこうやってカスタムのアイデアを共有できるのは本当に楽しいですね。これからも動画投稿を続けたいと思っているので、またチェックしてもらえると嬉しいです！
Aloha from Hawaii FL5 owner! 🤙🏽 Great video! I appreciate the English subtitles…
Aloha😊 Awesome, thank you for your comment, FL5 owner in Hawaii! I'm glad I added English subtitles.
Thanks for the summary of the parts. Great selection and I hope you achieve to getting some of them. FL5 owner from Saudi Arabia
Thanks for the comment. And thanks also for delivering the nice comments from Saudi Arabia!
FL5 のチューニングパーツが満載のビデオが気に入りました。最初のビデオを見て、あなたの車がとても気に入りましたが、最初の年はアメリカで購入するのが大変でした。ようやく 1 台購入しましたが、素晴らしい車です! Spoon、J’s Racing、Mugen Racing のコンテンツに感謝します。日本が本当に恋しいです!
あの最初の動画を発見して見てもらえたのですね、ありがとうございます！アメリカでFL5を購入するのは大変だったでしょうね、販売価格が日本よりもかなり高額ですからね😅 こちらこそ、私の動画を見ていただき感謝しています！
From Dallas Texas I really liked your video
Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked my video.

はい、同感です。FL5がかなりシンプルデザインなので、どうしても派手に感じてしまいました。コメントありがとうございます！
Nice👍

ところで、私はすでにスプーン スプリング、N1 エキゾースト、カーボン センター コンソール、カーボン ステアリング ホイール パーツを入手しました。素晴らしいですし、スプリングも低すぎず、何も擦りません。
スゴイですね！特にN1 エキゾーストとカーボンステアリングホイールはとても羨ましい！そうですか、スプーンスプリングだけなら約2ｃｍダウンだけでなので、擦らないでいけるのかもしれませんね。私もそのうちカスタムしていきたいと思います！
無限さんのテールランプは興味ありです！他はお若い方にお任せしたいと思います😊
いつもコメントありがとうございます！MUGENテールランプですが、実物を見ると光り方が立体的でカッコイイと思いました！ フルノーマルでテールランプだけMUGENにしたらどんな雰囲気になるのか？ 個人的に興味があります😊
Is it legal to delete the air bag in Japan? 4:27
The Mugen package is stunning!
Thanks for the comment!
I just looked it up online and it says, "Removing the airbag itself is not illegal, so it can be replaced."
Yes, the Mugen package was great! Personally, I wanted the Carbon Aero Fenders.
高速の燃費17キロを超えるのはすごいですね
コメントありがとうございます！はい、けっこうすごいですよね。ちなみに私が燃費走行で頑張っても13キロ程度です😅ACCを多用している方は驚かないと思いますが、私は初めて使ったので「燃費の良さ」と「運転が楽」なことにちょっと感動しました。

Yes, a fully equipped Mugen Group A and Spoon Sport Aero Mirrors is a good combination!

Is the OEM carbon fiber spoiler considered 'stock'?
I noticed when you pointed out that my FL5's carbon spoiler is not fully stock because it was equipped with Genuine Option.😅 Thanks for the comment!
i’m waiting so long for them to release the spoon front lip, just gloss black please 😞
Thanks for the comment! I love the design of the front lip on that demo car, which reminds me of the front lip that SPOON had on the Integra (DC2). I heard from SPOON staff last year that they are planning to sell it in carbon, but I hope they will also sell it in FRP gloss black.
are those yellow NSX-R for sale?
It is not for sale. It is a display vehicle.
テールランプかっけぇ。
ハイブリッド納車待ちですが、テールランプ販売してますか？
コメントありがとうございます！あのテールランプ、点灯時に斜め横から見たら光り方が立体的に見えてカッコよかったです。まだ販売の正式発表はないと思いますが、オートサロンで価格が記載されていたので、今年中に販売される可能性は高いと思われます。FL4の納車が楽しみですね！
テールランプかっこいいんだけど、ウィンカーの流れ方が弧を描いてるのがなあ、11代目シビックは並行でシンプルなデザインを意識してるのにこれじゃ勿体ない。
はい、私も全く同じことを感じました。個人的には、細い光が一直線でシャープに流れるようなウィンカーだったら嬉しかったです。コメントありがとうございました！
😊Thank you!
ジェイズの奇抜なのは苦手

@@FromCivicWindow 他社のを上手く売る印象。だから上乗せされてるのよねぇ。

That would definitely look cool!
運転席のメーター周りからビビり音しませんか？
自分のは新車の時からします😢
納車直後でダッシュボードの左端からビビリ音がありましたよ。今ではダッシュボードのあらゆる箇所から音がします😅
別のFL5も3台運転したことがありますが、全てダッシュボードからビビリ音がありました。
ノーマルでも、結構良い排気音ですね！
ACCが着いてるんですね。
うちのVABは、設定すら無いですから正直羨ましいです。
そうですね、アクティブサウンドコントロールですが思ったより良い音だと思います。ACCには興味がなく「TYPE Rには必要ない」と思っていましたが、使ってみたら最高でした😅 この動画をVABオーナーの方にも見ていただけてとても嬉しいです、コメントもありがとうございます！
osaka to tokyo 1 tank of gas ? すごいね💪💪💪💪
Yeah, it’s possible with fuel-efficient driving. It’s surprising for a Type R, but the engine's efficiency is impressive!🔥🔥🔥
